Your Witch Name is Esmerelda |
 Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble. |
A whimsical look at a lifetime of personal ephemera collected with no particular aim in mind except it was either too interesting, too funny, too sentimental or too pretty to part with! Welcome and enjoy!

Halloween is such a horrible, ghastly, frightening time of year!
"I have no idea what made me think of you!" My sister sent me this card when I was in college ... it still has dried tape on it from being taped to the wall. Poor Lucy! She looks pretty stricken! :)

Wanda the Witch
This colorful Halloween card was sent in either the late 1970s or early 1980s by Mildred (my step-grandmother) and no doubt it was accompanied by a large box of treats! She loved sending these goodie packages while I was in college and for some reason the boxes of petit fours stick out the most in my memory. Those little square, pastel colored confections were so delicious! Thank you, Mildred! It was all so wonderful and so very much appreciated! Happy Halloween!

Lily has been Warholized!
This site lets you upload a photo and have it turned into an Andy Worhol worthy piece of art! I tried it with Lily's photo ... she's having her 15 minutes of fame!

October Cross Stitch
This picture came from a 1990 wall calendar of "Country Classics" from the Vanessa-Ann Collection. The monthly pictures are all seasonal cross-stitch designs and the patterns are included as well. Cross stitching was so popular back then and I'm sure it still is but I don't see entire shops dedicated to it like we did at the time. Books and books of patterns used to line shop walls and it was soooo hard to decide on the next project! Here's the featured October 1990 scene!

So True!
Wherever you go,
no matter what the weather,
always bring your own sunshine.

What color apple are you?
You Are a Green Apple |
 You're a pretty traditional person. You believe that if something has lasted, then it's probably good. You think that living the good life is pretty simple. If you behave responsibly and ethically, good things will come to you. You are a loner and prefer to keep to yourself. You love solitude. You are super productive. People are amazed by how much you are able to get done. |

The Autumn Leaves Color Test
You Are Bright and Brilliant |
 You tend to fall in love easily and stick with the one you've chosen. You were born to love. You are a natural writer of all sorts. You are equally suited writing essays, journals, and fiction. You are a comfort to those around you. You make others feel at ease simply by being you. You have an active imagination and intuition. You have a very fluid way of thinking. |
