I love books and fireplaces and naturally putting them together is a favorite aethetic in any house we live in. Our last house had a fireplace grate in it, and I was not willing to keep cleaning out ash. I really wanted gas logs and finally got them with our new house. I decorated the former fireplace with a black barbeque spray which was a good choice for any new owners of our house, and I displayed books and candles as decor. It was awesome as an everyday look and for Halloween plus Christmas. I put a Santa hat on the skulls.

Maxim Kryl found Floki the raven as a baby alone outdoors in cold weather. He took him home and cared for him. Today, despite the fact that Floki can take care of himself, he flies home to his dad every day to speak and snuggle. He also plays fetch and behaves like a dog. I ran across this adorable video in my Facebook feed and it is too good not to share. His dad and he even have their own Instagram page: Flokitheraven https://youtu.be/W6KyKrTp-PY Video Credit: The Dodo You can read more about their story here.

Been very happy with the 2 cat products we’ve purchased over the past year. We have rescue cats and like to try different things to enrich their lives.

They were making a mess with their old drinking fountain – hair and food – and it was hard to refill with fresh water. Saw the Catit Flower Water Fountain on a friend’s Facebook page, read the reviews, watched the video of it in action, and ordered it. You can buy filters for it that keep the water clean and they are easy to keep flushed from any debris. There are a variety of ways to run the water through the fountain. You can set it to run on 3 different settings: Ours flows like a brook but you…
Swooped into my local Homegoods store yesterday – in and out with social distancing all the way. I’m not affiliated with them, simply a Homegoods addict. Halloween items are trickling in, and as always, you need to hit up lots of their locations to discover everything because they seem to individually order for their own stores. They have diversified items this year with a mix of elegant, vintage-looking, and Disney inspired merchandise. Added lots of choices in Halloween pillows which is thrilling! I need more decorative pillows like a hole in the wall and I may have to start hiding them from my husband, John. So tempting the choices! [envira-gallery id=’5047′] Disney merchandise might have been in the stores in the past, but I hadn’t noticed it. Not a big Disney merch fan. I have friends who like it though so I did notice more items on this trip. [envira-gallery…
We’re starting our Halloween hunt this summer! You can bet items hit Homegoods and Michaels in late July. Spirit of Halloween is open here in Atlanta. We nipped into our local At Home store last week and found the following delightful things. The dragon eye lights are pretty cool. We’ll be opening up our blog’s Halloween page soon. If you were around last year, you would’ve seen our continual posting of all local events. Yes, there’s a pandemic, but that doesn’t mean events won’t happen. Most are pivoting to online so we’ll post those links and dates. Enjoy the video and forgive my skills! https://youtu.be/8bMzslFFYak
#SaveHalloweenMaskUp The count down to Halloween is ramping up. Today it is 90 days away! We are BIG on Halloween at Poe in Wonderland, and we will be adding a page dedicated to it in September. The coronavirus has defintely changed how events will be handled, however we know people are creative and things are moving forward. A good example is Atlanta’s Oakland Cemetery’s annual Capturing the Spirit of Halloween tours plans. Groups will be much smaller and guest will be required to social distance and wear masks. We’ve taken the tour 6 times with one year missing. It is a fun one to consider if you are in the city. How many chances does one get to tour a centuries old cemetery at night? Tickets are on sale to foundation members only but open to the public in August. Check their site to find ticket availability: https://youtu.be/kxLti1An00A Video Credit:…
Storiarts scrolled across our feed one day and caught our interest. Their photographs display works of literature turned into everyday items. As avid book readers, this is a win-win! Big fans of wearing what we like as shirts. and can you imagine quotes from Jane Austen, Poe, Alice in Wonderland, Mary Shelley, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Maya Angelou? One of the main things that also impressed us about the company is their devotion to literature. They work with an organization – LitWorld – to spread the love of reading and writing to children. Part of every purchase is donated to LitWorld. “LitWorld is a non-profit organization dedicated to on-the-ground innovative solutions to tackling illiteracy worldwide. Based in 28 countries, LitWorld created three programs that stand today as the organization’s core models: LitClubs, LitCamps, and World Read Aloud Day. Storiarts shares their vision to strengthen children and communities through the power of their own stories…
