A Little Practical *Magic* Giveaway!

Apologies for coming to the blog party a wee bit late, but *magic* is abounding here in the studio as well, and sometimes it can be a wee bit...well, distracting, hehe. :)

But I'm so happy to take a break in honor of one of my favorite all time books and movies! In fact, "Practical Magic" inspiration has been swirling around in my head for weeks now...

"Spellcasting"...


"Midnight Margaritas"...

"My darling Girl.."...

I can't make up my mind which print is a favorite, so I thought I'd leave the choice up to the giveaway winner - you may choose whichever you like. :) All you need do to enter is leave a comment here, and I'll draw a name on Oct 5th. Be sure to leave me a way to contact you...

Back to the studio for me now (major show prep underway), but I hope to do a little blog hopping later. Until then, wishing you a day of magic and wonder!

♥ Carolee
PS - My Etsy shop is out of most of the Practical Magic prints now, but I'll be replenishing them after I get back from Michigan (the week of the 5th)

    monthly changes in her circle orb, lest that thy love prove likewise variable.” --Hello dear...if my name comes out of the magic giveaway hat, I will choose the enchanting #1 with it's fluttering prayer rising.

  66. Now that I finally made it here....oh my goodness!!! I have seen your PM art mentioned as I make my rounds and just love all of them. I couldn't really choose, but maybe Midnight Margaritas because it reminds me of this party. Thank you so much for being a part of this event and for offering such a generous gift. Your work is magical :)

  73. I bought `my darling girl' at the ghoultide gathering for my little one - I cant wait to hang it in her room. I'm thinking I could use a midnight margarita for myself! Thanks for sharing your talent with the world!

  74. Oh my, choosing would be so difficult. I identify with each one! but I have to say the last one makes me think of the movie-although what the Aunt said resonates so much with me. I love margaritas--but I think...I identify most with not only the figure on the first-but what's written on the border.
