OOOoooh! It's COMING...

Every year at this point, I get that 'itch'...

And the only way to scratch that itch...

is to delve headlong into all that is ...

marvelous, morose, and macabre...

So, if you're like me and it's time for a little Dose of Alchemy...

Come on in and enjoy a sweet repose...

We promise not to let the GHOULIES get you

while you're here...

But we can't guarantee the wandering spirits

won't follow you home...

Time for a Touch of Alchemy

It may be July, but I'm feeling autumn.   

 Howling winds, bone chilling noises in the night. 

 

 

 

Let's take a trip, you and me. 

 

 

Let's go into the Alchemist's closet. 

 
 

Let's take a look at the dark places we know we want to see...

But are scared to death we just might find.

 
 

Old Love

 

  

It's Raining, It's Pouring...

I believe the rest of that goes, "my love life is boring me to tears...."  Oh well, so much for my French top hat fantasy.

 

For now, I am focused on all things dark, and rustic and ravishing for the sale at the barn, tomorrow.

I do so hope you'll come see me, since the man whose hat I have now, has yet to say "Bonjour"...
  

 

Latest Favorite Finds

 
Is it just me, or is it hard to believe it's the middle of May, already?  Even though I love the wisteria (those of you who know A`Musements, know I can't resist the urge, each year as 'she' blooms, to brag about the incredible blossoms and fragrance!), my heart belongs to the deepest of aubergines, the lushness of golds, and the lure of all things black.

So it is, that this time of year begins my challenge to 'think the good thoughts' about spring and summer, to try to be thrilled with bikini weather (ha! Really?!!) and pretend the good charade, that I like it all.  Non! 

Instead I will patiently bide my time, the calendar my friend, moving day by day toward my beloved autumn and all of her enchanting plays on light and the absence of it...

Ah, patience... I am not good at waiting.  I guess ALL I can do is go on expeditions, gathering things to remind me of what's to come-- a great excuse to indulge. 

Maybe I DO like this time of year, after all.

Merry Christmas
