Wicked HouseKeeping

I'm back from Boston & what an amazing trip it was!

I want to share some pictures & stories, but Saturday is
The Wicked Tea
& I'm up to my eyeballs in kits!

I haven't had time to edit my vacation pictures so instead I'm sharing some pictures from around the house.

This is the basket I bought from Laurie Anna's last spring.

I posted about it here.

Yesterday I 'hooshed' it Halloween style.

Such a cute picture of my little angels!

Speaking of hooshing, I'm working on a little cabinet of curiosities.

The telescope & projector were my father's.

This is our entry.

I love changing it around for the seasons.

My hearth is easier to decorate than the mantel.

Keeping the kids off this chair is no easy feat.

I have a hard time arranging my mantle, it's very narrow.

I bought these Ellery Queen paperbacks at a garage sale years ago.

I think the mysteries came from Half Priced Books.

Did you know Poe was from Boston?

I know people associate him with Halloween & the macabre but he wrote such beautiful & haunting poetry.

Annabel Lee is one of my absolute favorite poems.

I have always wanted to make an altered book inspired by that story.

I better get back to my kits.

I put another pair of slippers in my etsy store, working on some other things as well.
