Backyard Fire Pit Fun

Sure it could have ended Hindenburg-style, but thankfully no rogue flying embers ruined the vibe.  Made those tin lanterns back in 2017 for my "1921" throwback Haunt (used LED tea lights for the photo shoot).

Peddler's Village Scarecrow Competition 2026

Some really fun ones this year.

Walking around last weekend on a very cool day with a beautiful breeze made me ponder entering this competition next year with a spooky scarecrow.  

The Tarot Cards Of Sergio Toppi

Amazing artwork.  Reminds me of the illustrations I'd see as a boy in old textbooks or magazines.

More works here.

Summer Hag

The Hag is astride,
This night for to ride;
The Devill and shee together:
Through thick, and through thin,
Now out, and then in,
Though ne’r so foule be the weather.

Witch's Potion

Something wickedly delicious has arrived. Witch’s Potion is a spellbinding blend of warm cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, anise and smooth vanilla, perfectly balanced for a cozy cup full of comforting spice. Made for crisp mornings, sweater weather and everything you love about fall, this mysteriously delicious seasonal brew is only here for a limited time.

Just ordered some of this coffee from New England Coffee.  I'll report back.
