I am writing to you because I have a very special treat for you! I have decided to team up with blogger Anna (Frosted Petunias) on a very special project. We are hosting a blog party together to pay tribute to our favorite movie PRACTICAL MAGIC ! We have gauged a lot of interest when we both coincidentally did posts within 1 day of each other, dedicated to that movie. So we figured a blog party was in order! So if you are interested... put on your witchy hat, grab your broom stick, start stirring your cauldron of ideas , and COME JOIN US ! <br /><br />Please follow this link for complete information on how to get involved:<br /><br />http://pmblogparty.blogspot.com/<br /><br />-Justina<br />La Boheme Magique<br />http://labohememagique.blogspot.comJustinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10191897287091197279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538248.post-13801327475141932032010-07-12T22:58:21.136-04:002010-07-12T22:58:21.136-04:00Hi Karen,

I love the Fruitlands Farm House, and I enjoyed learning more about the Alocott family-what an amazing journey their lives were.

How far is this from Orchard House? I'm unclear about distances in MA. One day I plan to make it to see Orchard House, and I think this would be an interesting trip, too. How neat that they had some of Thoreau's books. <br /><br />XO,<br /><br />Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538248.post-40994914247760628082010-07-12T10:47:54.923-04:002010-07-12T10:47:54.923-04:00Karen, thank you so much for sharing this.
