It's party time again ladies......

Time to get out those old blenders and visit our favorite witches in that white frosted dream of a house. If you participated last year I hope you'll decide to join me again this year. And if you're joining for the first time the rules are super simple.

Create a post that celebrates the Practical Magic movie or book. You can have a PM themed party, create a collage, vignette or favorite scene. Showcase art, jewelry, fashion, recipes, spells, decor or tell an inspiring story. Or you can simply share why you love the movie or book (or both). Feel free to visit last year's party or see my old post for ideas and inspiration.

You might also want to visit my blog party FAQ page here.

On the right sidebar I posted a link to scans of my old Victoria Magazine issue that featured the set created for the Owens house. You will also find a list of links to other PM related articles.

I will post some of my party ideas, preparations and anything related to the Owens women and their magical house here. You can receive updates by following this blog either by email or becoming a follower the regular way.

Why a Practical Magic blog party? I have been under the Practical Magic spell ever since it came out in October 1998. I was at the theater for the first show on opening day and I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've watched the dvd the past 13 years. I read and loved the book before the film was made, but like many of you it was the house, THAT house, and the set created by production designer Robin Standefer, that got me hooked.

So if you also find yourself blissfully obsessed with all things Owens, join me again for midnight margaritas on Saturday, September 24. We can celebrate the official start of Fall with our favorite witches and look forward to the rest of the Halloween season!

The Practical Magic blog party is open to all active bloggers. To add your name to the party list please leave a comment on this post and make sure to include your email and blog address. Grab the button on the sidebar and add it to your blog. The list of participants is also on the sidebar. If you don't see your name posted within 2 days, email me and let me know.

Post your Practical Magic party on your blog by Friday evening, September 23. That way our international partiers can get started right away. I will have a post here for you to add your permalink. My actual party post will be on my blog, Frosted Petunias. Then we will spend the day (or week or more) flying around on our brooms, enjoying all the magical parties and dreamy delights and visiting witchy friends both old and new.

This party is for all you Owens fans out there, whether you have been a fan from the start or just discovered the movie for the first time. It's a celebration of sisterhood,  friendship, creativity and fabulous witchy style. So go and dust off that old blender, check on your rosemary and start slicing up those limes. Oh and don't forget your broom!

PUT THE LIME IN THE COCONUT

Once more round the kitchen table ladies.....
