It's a Celebration- all because of you!!
On Sunday, we posted that we'd been sabotaged and had lost our Facebook page. You, the lovely community, pulled together and in four days' time, we have surpassed our original fan-base... and it keeps on growing!
The Sirens are all thrilled and overwhelmed by your outpouring of love and support, and to show our gratitude, we're going to throw a little party here, Siren-style.
First, let's have a little musical celebration. Our Music Siren, Kestril Trueseeker, has found the perfect song by Kenny Klein (who helped us tremendously in getting here- Thank you, Kenny!). We'd all love it if you'd show your gratitude and support to him as well. Please visit his website and send him some love. In the meantime, The Season of the Witch has begun ;)
Next up, Loren (one of our Artsy Sirens and Administrators) shared a Lughnasadh craft that is easy and fun for the whole family to make:
Click here for instructions on how to make it.
Our Sirens party wouldn't be complete without a great recipe, but oh, do we have some TREATS for YOU!
One of The Sirens' favorite bloggers, Autumn Earthsong, has given us her permission to share a link to her Lughnasadh Recipes page. It's filled with all kinds of fantastic concoctions for your Lughnasadh celebration!

So hop on over to her wonderful site, "My Moonlit Path", enjoy the recipes and leave her a comment that The Sirens sent you!! You're welcome :)

Yea! It's October Early :) My fave item at Enchanting Elegance are the Bats Samhain / Halloween Candle Lanterns.
ReplyDeleteLOL - thank you - I have gone crazy with the Bats from time to time
DeleteTess' pendent is gorgeous...so shiny! However, after following the link, I don't understand how to view her current works.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite items in Renee's shop are her clay figures. Pan turned out so well!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!! Pan got a sealer coat tonight, he should be bronzed by Monday. :)
DeleteThe Pumpkin Fairy is my favorite print at Heartroot.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteMy favorite in Loren's Saga's Cottage is The Visitor's print. Ouija boards are one thing which always seem to elicit strong reaction. Love them or hate/fear them, so much superstition is linked to the boards.
ReplyDeleteI love Ouijas, one day I will blog about my small Spirit board collection :)
DeleteHow wonderful to have gone beyond expectations in only four days. I can barely wait for October's veil to drop...
ReplyDeleteThe possibilities boggle the mind!
DeleteNow to the beauties... I haven't found anything made by Eliora that I didn't like. I'm in love with her Wild Elements Boline, her Book of Shadows Bookmark, every single one of her Athames... I can't choose... I want them all!
ReplyDeleteMay be you need OOAK Magaly Athame! :)
Delete"Yemaya's Ocean Bracelet" looks like a bit of the sea that can be carried around. Definitely a favorite from East Coast Craft & Curio.
ReplyDeleteI love the "Handfasting Cords" at Sosanna's Closet. Can I have the skull, too? Just kidding... maybe ;-)
ReplyDeleteDanni's Heartroot Studio is a feast for the senses. I want EVERYTHING, but if I had to pic a favorite, I would definitely go for "Gaia" - Limited Edition.
ReplyDeleteSomehow, I had an inkling that would be your favorite. A witch after my own heart! ;)
Delete"The Visitor" Notecard Stationary Set from Saga's Cottage is my favorite. It does something to my heart... it might be a great piece of art to have for the upcoming All Hallow's Eve.
ReplyDeleteI love that one, too....and shhhh, but I've had another Ouija idea come to mind :)
DeleteFor item #1, At Eliora'a, I really like the Finger Labyrinths. I don't tweet, and I don't know haw to link, so I guess I get one entry.
ReplyDeleteGaia, one entry is all it takes. Yours could be the lucky one!
DeleteElemental Candle Chest w/ Elemental Apothecary Candle Set - or Altar Bottle - Amethyst Goddess / Pentacle from Enchanting Elegance for Your Magickal Life etsy shop =)
ReplyDeleteTHank you - I love working with the Elements.
DeleteThe enthusiasm for the reinvented site is wonderful! I guess summer house cleaning is not a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteI love Loren's Jack as the Magician. He is one of my favorite characters of all time.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI'm a bit biased sinc I love everthing in Eliora's shop and own many items. My favorite though I think is the sticks and stones necklace. I of course love bones and I feel very powerful when I wear the necklace.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sam - that is one of my favorite pieces, too.
DeleteEliora has so many lovelies - but the Copper and Black Glass Snake pendant made me go oooooh.... so that! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you. That Black Glass Snake really is elegant.
DeleteLove the blog and all the gifts!! And thank you for featuring my blog post and recipes! I feel very honored! Can't wait to see what all I'll read and see here!!
ReplyDeleteAutumn Earthsong
I tweeted about Eliora's giveaway - https://twitter.com/TheAuldGreyMare/status/363049313762414592
ReplyDeleteGiveaway 1: As I said in another blog, my favorite is the one she hasn't done yet. At some point I will be commissioning a glass plaque from her because the ones I've seen her do thus far are all lovely
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kestril - I can't wait to work with you.
DeleteGiveaway 2: Periodot choker. I fell head over heels for it when I first saw it!
ReplyDeleteGive away 3: I'm loving the Everyday Witch cape (black and white wool). So adorable and I can wear it to the office!
ReplyDeleteGiveaway 4: The Phoenix. I love the wild color scheme
ReplyDeleteWild colors are how I like to roll these days. Glad you like her! ;)
DeleteGiveaway 5: Benzaiten. Benzaiten. Benzaiten. Benzaiten. I guess if I have to pick something not in the give away, I like The Visitor a lot too. But Benzaiten. Benzaiten. Benzaiten.
ReplyDeleteLOL, thank you :)
DeleteYay! Early Samhain, woohoo! I love Eliora's stuff - love love love! But my favorite in Eliora's Elegantly Enchanting Etsy shop is still the finger labryrinths, and of the ones listed right now, this one I most particularly adore http://www.etsy.com/listing/128260777/meditation-finger-labyrinth-glass-7?ref=shop_home_active.
ReplyDeleteThank you - working on making the the Finger Labyrinths bring tons of peace with it.
DeleteI don't see the name of it, but the black stone with the triskele on East Coast Craft Show's Showcase page is really nice!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo--party time! The music just erased all the day's tension:)
ReplyDeleteI was just over at East Coast Craft & Curio and love the Moon Phase series. I also really like the necklace in giveaway @ 2--beautiful!
Tweeted Tess's giveway: https://twitter.com/TheAuldGreyMare/status/363057822080045057

ReplyDeleteGiveaway # 1. On Eliora's page, I actually like the little Cauldron magnets the best. They are cute and affordable and, since I love refrigerator magnets, they would be a tiny little daily reminder for me or anyone of all the good things we could be cooking up.
ReplyDeleteThank you - They are cute little things.
DeleteI absolutely adore Eliora's Wild Elements boline!
ReplyDeleteThank you Johanna. You know how much I love making these.
DeleteFrom East Coast Craft and Curio, I love the Mother Earth, with Jasper, crab tree agate finished with a clay yin yang of balance in the greens of the Earth. Perfect for a gardening witch like myself!
ReplyDeleteI've blogged at Museiddity :) http://wp.me/p3i8GN-2X
ReplyDeleteThe hemp necklaces at Sosanna's closet are perfect for wearing to the beach! I need one of those.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Johanna, I love the braided hemp. I agree completely!!
DeleteThe Pumpkin Fairy print at Heartroot Studio is a must have!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Johanna!

ReplyDeleteGiveaway #3 -Sosanna's Closet. I own a few wonderful pieces of work from this great artist already. Right now I'm a fan of the black, tattooed skull but I'm looking forward to seeing the crone when she's done. Among other things, I have two wonderful protection masks from her.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sandy... I actually applied the sealer coat to "The Crone" tonight. She looks amazing. I hope to have her bronzed by Monday. :)
DeleteGiveaway #4 - from Heartroot studio, I love the "Sneaking Goblin" because he is sneaking, and that's what they do and he is carrying fire and I am a fire fan.
ReplyDeleteHe he, Goblins are pretty sneaky, right? ;-) Thank you so much for the wonderful comment, I'm glad you like him!
DeleteI hope I win ! :-) I'm like a few other's, not on the computer much and "too old to tweet" so I only get one entry each. :-)
ReplyDeleteGiveaway #5 - Saga's Cottage. My favorite thing is anything with a cat on it. LOL. But my absolute favorite is "You are Entering Familiar Territory" with the two beautiful cats that look like two of mine.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sandy! I love cats, too! I have 5 of my own familiars :)
DeleteFor each of the giveaways, I have them numbered! Each of the artists are amazing and it was sooooooo difficult to find a favorite on each of their pages!
ReplyDelete1. Inannas Athame - stunning piece!

DeleteOkie dokie... In Eliora's Etsy shop, I love the "Mother Witch Heart and Triquetra Pendant / Necklace". It was really hard to pick just one item from this shop, everything is beautiful! But I picked this item, because I am a mom, and that is a very large part of who I am. I am also a Witch, and that is also a very large part of who I am!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jodee!
DeleteI've been saving my play money to purchase the Kitchen Witch's Boline from Eliora's Elegantly Enchanted. I. LOVE. IT.
ReplyDeleteLa Trice - If it sells before you're ready, I'll make another - just for you!
DeleteIn Sosanna's shop, I really like her sculptures, but the item I would pick would be the 12" Day of the Dead wreath. I love to decorate my door for the seasons, and this would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks Jodee!!
DeleteGah! This is so hard!! At Heartroot Studios I would pick The Torch Bearer as my favorite!! This piece really spoke to me as soon as I saw it!
