A Sweeping Tradition (Happy Samhain)



2025


How many years does it take until something becomes a tradition? Good question. I don't have the answer. But I think this is one of mine. I've made brooms every year since moving to Chicago (sans 2020), and it's one of the things I really look forward to doing. This year was no different! 

What energy will you be sweeping out and sweeping in this Samhain?

My friends and I headed down to Pike Place Market, and in one of the cool, creepy, magic, majestic shops, I found this dude or dudette. The moment I believed they could have landed in Seattle all the way from Mississippi, I could not resist. I knew they had to come home with me. I'm still looking for the perfect spot to put them in my home, but boy, what a beauty! 😍
