Away with the fairies

We’re away this weekend (technically we’ll be home tomorrow but I’m signing off until Monday once we leave later today). I leave you with one of my favorites of the many photos we’ve taken in France. This is the front window of the little house, the house we’ll soon call home. (If your curious about the […]

Magick 4 Terri: reminder

This is just a quick reminder that the auction to benefit Terri Windling ends today at at 5 p.m. Pacific Time. Here’s a note from Terri herself about this remarkable event, with more wonderful photos of Tilly, the auction’s mascot and a very sweet girl who likes her bones.

Magick 4 Terri — foxy book art

Collectors take note: If you want a chance to get your hands on some of my book art, now is the time. I have no idea when I’ll do anything like this again. Next year maybe? The year after? Who knows! (Click to enlarge.) Today is Magick Monday, the start of a nearly month-long auction to […]

The Gates are Shut

Or learning to say no. I often wonder why it is that if, for example, I’m about to be mugged I have no problem saying “oh no I’m not” and fighting to the near-death to prove it. True story, that. It happened in Philadelphia. I lost my favorite lipstick in that mugging, and a whole […]
