A Fanciful Twist

Dreams of alice 1

 

Every once in a while, I stumble across a website that is different from anything I’ve seen before.

 

Vanessa Valencia’s blog is “dedicated to art, lifestyle, gardening, cooking, crafting and every single little magical thing in between.”

 

It is a truly magical site, well worth a few minutes of your time.

Dark Aemilia

What a fabulous surprise to collect the mail on Friday and find a package from Mslexia Magazine.  I won a free book, and not just any book, but Sally O’Reilly’s Dark Aemilia.

 

Here’s the blurb:

“This spellbinding novel of witchcraft, poetry and passion re-imagines the life of Aemilia Lanyer, the ‘Dark Lady’ of Shakespeare’s Sonnets — the playwright’s muse and his one true love.”

 

I started reading the book last night and it pulled me in immediately.  Thank you Mslexia!

The little guy above is mine at 8 weeks old.

How much fun would this be?  The Golden Retriever Club of Scotland holds a festival at the breed’s ancestral home.  It’s hard not to look at these photos  and smile.  Click on the link below to see the love.
