We are so grateful for our room full of guests on a hot summer night at the Wellesley Library to hear our talk. Plus, we are extra grateful to the library staff who made us feel at home and even treated us to pizza.

From the amazing feedback we were given, we will see you again soon!

We are back! Listening to Ozzy all day. Unpacking everything from the long journey away. How curious we were sitting on a bench in a Connecticut graveyard when we learned of Ozzys death.

Thank you New York! We rolled into town at 2:30 am and got up at 7:00 am. It was hot, but it was standing room only for our talk - and that’s with a bigger lecture space in the historic meetinghouse. We lost count of how many books we signed. We also sold so very many of our hand crafted treasures. We totally felt the love as we brought the history, lore and joys of New England with us. We very are grateful to have been asked back again.

We had a fantastic Tarot swap last night, thank you to everyone who came out! We just restocked one of our most popular books - Mythical Creatures of Maine by Christopher Packard. And we want to give a special shout out to two wonderful visitors from Prince Edward Island who said such wonderful things about visiting the shop. They even came back by a second time to gift us with a Canadian $5 note. 🙏🏼You’re melting our spooky hearts!💀
