Can it truly be that time of year? It is the time of year we yearn for month after month, and then it gets here and flashes by, pouring like sand through our fingers...
Welcome October ♥
This fall brings with it, a curious obsession for me. I am in a flora & fauna, nature creature obsession. I am also interested in what I can grow in fall and winter. And, I am obsessed with warm colored petals filling my rooms.
Today I saw some beautiful dark purple velvety petunias. I do think I must go back and purchase some for my garden.
As I was tending my glass encased growing things this evening, I was becoming more and more entranced by the idea of apothecaries and herb shops and beautiful glass cases filled with this and that from nature...
This is going to be the most magical October ever, I can feel it, can you?
Crisp air, glowing lights...
Mystery and Magic awaits...
I peeked outside this evening and gasped at the sight of the sky...
It was perfect for sneaking out and conjuring a little magic of my own...
A little escape from a crazy day. Mister and I went out in search of lights and fans that the electrician will need for tomorrow's visit. After a long day we were finally going to have lunch at 3 p.m. So, we were stopped at a red light, when a man in a truck tried to pass us in the right hand bike lane (why?) and crunched our car. It felt like we were in a water log ride, crunch, bump & waves...
So, we had to pull over and do that whole insurance card thing and wait and wait. As I sat in the car, I was actually feeling bad for the guy who hit us, he was so nervous and wacky acting. After Mister got back in the car, we decided the only thing we could do was go have warm chocolate ganache cake with sweet cream (we brought half of it home for later, yay!). Mister always has a sweet tooth, and eats loads of candy. I only get a sweet tooth every now and then, and when I do........
It worked in fixing our little souls about 95%, but the sky and the wagon and my record player under the full moon did the rest...
Bliss.
Sheer Bliss under that sky...
And so, October begins its path. I want to soak up every last drop of this time of year.
I played in my little outdoor world this evening, spells and all ;)
For those of you lovelies who don't know what I am talking about, I shared my gypsy wagon spells adventures in greater detail in a post right here.
And the potion labels (which are in my online shop) and their tutorial can be found here...
Anyhow, as I was saying, I was practicing my spells tonight ;) ;)
Pretty good for a Mildred Hubble, don't you think?
Now, if you wish to jump in through that glowing portal, you never know where it might take you...
I personally would like to go to the Edna W. Lawrence Nature Lab.
Now, I must be off for the moment, but, I do have some exciting October sharing on its way. Especially that of a particularly beloved pointy hat family...
