The Magic of the Cards

 It was so quiet at work today that I left early. It was SO quiet that it was weirdly quiet, and yes we expect  quiet period at this time of year, but it was INSANE... Like a strange magic spell has been cast over everything, and since it's raining people are just away in hiding...
Rudh decided to get home and check the cards for their magic, letting the light sparkle from her to the cards, which could only be read after the spirits had shuffled them well... 

It's the simplest of magic, the kind that even the most novice of witches should be able to conjour up with ease.. Every witch has their own colour depending on the magic they practice and their personality, and Rudh's happens to be green as she's calm, friendly and down-to-earth... He boyfriend Frank, that she keeps as a headless Frank - thanks to a decor prop from Krescendo called Franky Faces at Satan Inc until November 1st - under a glass cloche when she's working her magic because he has a tendency to be a bit skeptical... Which is funny considering he's a head in a jar... 
Anyway, once her magic began to sparkle nothing else but the cards mattered, the Occult Cards - from Tardfish in a Necromancer design - in her hand started swirling through the air as they began to slowly give her the information that she required for the day ahead tomorrow...

The Engine Room is just the start of the Adventure!

You may know that I have a guilty pleasure in watching all different kinds of ghost hunting shows, but when I'm watching TV with my other half it can be hard to find something that we both want to see...  Dr Pimple Popper is an addiction, and we're excited about various new series, BUT we both love to watch the show Expedition Unknown with Josh Gates... All the adventures he goes on, and the archaeological aspects excite me, I've always wanted to go on a big adventure, I'd love to see some of the things that he gets to see... I'm going to let the Engine Room be the start of the journey...

I'm going to plan my journey in the warm luxury of the Clock Station - a backdrop from Synnergy - Lounge where the furniture is made from a gorgeously comfortable Barrel Set - available from Krescendo at ALPHA - and I dressed for the part, a Steampunk styled version of Indiana Jones... Ready to set off on a Steampunk Adventure - in my Art&Ko dress, with my Ministry floppy hat - people tried to warn me that it wouldn't be safe. That handling the Crystal Visions Orb - a pose prop in the full body pose set by piXit - was dangerous, but they didn't realise I'd be wearing my Barclay Hands - from Wicca's Originals - luckily the steampunk prosthetic helps me to grip the orb without threat of it's mystical powers...

Too Many Shoes... Not Enough Feet!

One thing that I LOVE about this time of year is the fact there is so much shopping to be done, so many pretty things to buy and collect as gifts, and blog, that I am one of the happiest girls on the grid hehe... The Weekend Sales have made things a little worse too, so many pretty things that a girl doesn't know where to start.. It can all be a little overwhelming. 
Takin the time to put together an outfit, it will be a little easier once she's sorted some of her Halloween Shoes - some new and some old - to finish her perfect look... 

Sittin by the window in a comfy chair, she started pulling shoes from the shoe rack in her Halloween collection, adding the new shoes that she bought recently in the sales... Some deadly looking Psycho blade heels - from CULT - some Maleficent Slippers which she slipped her feet into - from 1313 Mockingbird Lane - and the most amazing pair of Naamah Boots with the cute little Bat wings on - from PSYCHO.Byts... 
When a pretty outfit comes together with a pair of freshly unboxed shoes, it's the accessories that are most important hehe... Adding a pair of amazing new bracelets from Six Feet Under, there's just too many pretties...
