Lots of new stuff added to The Witches Cupboard Etsy site! We have bent willow wands with gemstones woven into the branches. They're gorgeous!

We've also added our own incense...the same kind we use ourselves...charged the way we charge our own. Smells wonderful! Great for spellwork too!

And more jewelry coming to Persephone Plays soon!

News, news, and more news

First I want to announce the opening of me and my son Benjamin's new Etsy store "The Witches Cupboard" which is, as he puts it, for practioners of both shield and sword magic. Right now the shelves are pretty empty I'll admit, but more items are being added daily. We hope to have quite a selection within the next month or so ... so keep on stopping by and checking.

Next: I'm really excited to tell you I'm a new book reviewer with Dark Diva Reviews . They are reviewers of erotica/romance books and they can really help you make those tough decisions about which book to buy/read next. Come check out the site, you'll enjoy it very much!

Finally, my own Etsy store, Persephone Plays, has added new items too. Like these wire wrapped earrings, my very favorites...I love them! Come look at everything both store have now, then come back in a week when we'll have even more new, creative items to show you. We're reasonably priced too!

Picture is link to item....I'd also like to thank everyone who left such kind comments about the Toys in the Attic digiscrap kit from a couple of days ago. Your words inspire me to try harder to creat more beautiful kits for you in the future. Thanks again!

What A Day!

I'm really excitable today...not completely sure why...there's just a little something in the air that says it's going to be a great day!
Maybe it's the fact that we finally have a president that owns up to his mistakes and failings. I mean, did you hear Pres. Obama tell reporters, one at a time in the Oval Office, that he "screwed up"? Amazing...and quite promising. I'm always a day late and a dollar short, I know, but I'm finally starting to pick up on the excitement of Obama, the hope he instills in everyone, even me. And that takes some doing let me tell you, lol.
Anyway, don't forget to check out back posts for freebies, they are all still working. I hope you enjoy my efforts!
Also, check out my Etsy store. I just put in a bunch of new jewelry...earrings and a gorgeous crocheted wire necklace...don't miss 'em!
I hope everyone has a wonderful, exciting day filled with hope for the future!
I've started mine already...

Featured for Valentine's Day

Good morning! Well, unless you live in eastern Ohio. The weather here is switching off between snow, freezing rain and rain. It's nasty out there folks, the roads are too icy for me to be driving and I had to send my husband to the store to stock up.


We're supposed to get 2 inches of snow in one hour...I think we're about half way there. And all this is piling on top of the several inches of snow and ice that has already accumulated in the last month or so. I can't wait for spring!


I've been passing time by crocheting and beading some really cute fairies. I'll post pics of the fairies when I can get some good shots of them.


Here's a pic of one of the items I crocheted. It's a featured item in my Etsy store right now and is a perfect gift for Valentine's Day.

It's my own design and I must say, it turned out gorgeous! It's very light too, you can hardly tell you have it on. Check it out in my Etsy store...Grand Opening Sale...free shipping through January!

Stay safe, warm and dry and have a great day!
