Hello! Welcome. I am an artist, designer, author and book dealer who believes in magic. Ten years ago my husband and I bought a quirky fixer upper castle in the woods which has managed to both elate and frustrate us. This tmblr is about that journey. All pictures are mine unless otherwise stated. We call the castle, Ravensrook.

This little fucker has dug a huge hole under our foundation right by the drawbridge. There are stones everywhere and dirt. He ate half the front garden by the time we caught him. Today is eviction day. He’s going to have to build his den elsewhere.

Made lots of progress on the barn wall garden. I relocated the wine berries and decided to plant white turtleheads and culvert’s root in that corner. It’s looking great so far.
