Teddy was so happy that everyone liked last weeks Celtic journal that she thought she would give another one away. This is a BOS (book of spells or book of shadows) which was handmade in Salem, Massachusetts by a local witch. I bought it there last fall in a very cool witch store!

It has a hand carved Celtic knot on the front of the wooden cover and brass hinges.

I stuffed over 100 jalapenos yesterday which had to be seeded and de-veined before stuffing. It took me hours.

I told my kids that they can judge how much I love them by how many stuffed jalapenos I am willing to make for them. After 200, they go up for adoption!
I hope you all have a safe and festive 4th!!!!

100 jalapenos...my my, patience and love of family, and good food prevailed.! BTW I love stuffed jalapenos! I have a friend who seeds and chops them and adds a few to her potato salad.
You are a wonder indeed. Good job! Take a rest! :)

Anyway, it's beautiful and I'm in awe that you'd want to give something so nice away! Wow.

Much love to you.

And your give-aways are indeed wonderful. I love the spell books and journals.
I've never had a stuffed jalapeƱo, but they sound like quite a treat!
Do count me in, okay? Crossing fingers and toes...
Kisses from us, hope you had a great 4th of July.
And here I find another glorious give-away, indicative of your generous spirit!
As is spendng your day stuffing peppers! I'm sure that your family knows how much you love them!
I was able to go to an antique market the other day, and was thinking about you, wishing you were there. .there was a vendor who was selling a number of wooden clothes drying racks, all of different configurations. Most I had seen before, but there was one that was round, and stacked, like the Tower of Pisa (it even leaned a little, but I think that was due to the uneven ground!)into three levels, and was huge!
The other was a bit smaller, but was even more unusual. .it had four sides of round rails, and was topped with a wide inverted "V". .it looked like a bungalow. I couldn't help but wonder if one of those wasn't similar to your mystery drying rack.
Wishing you a peaceful day! And try and keep cool!!
As I am from the other end of the world, I do not have too much chences to visit Salem, but this book would bring the spirit of the town to me!:)
Teddy has such great taste in owners, don't you think...
Happy Fourth!

By the way, the food for the blog tech's party looked so good that i had to give into some pms cravings!
I think noone of the people who read this blog can judge me. Yumm!
And i was lucky enough to taste your food. That granola dissapeared in just a few hours.
Oh the guilt!
hope you had a good 4th

The wooden cover with the carved celtic knot makes it look so authentic. And beautifully simple.
