From Vintage Seance to Salem & Binx



Well folks, it's time for a change. After blogging on Vintage Seance for ten whole years now, I feel ready to give what Vintage Seance has been a new home, a new name, and a bit more TLC too - but not to worry it's still the same little ol' me behind the blog...

Meet Salem & Binx.
(Click Below)
For all things festive.

For the last year, I've been absent from Vintage Seance, working on an entirely new website, a brand really, called Salem & Binx. Much like Vintage Seance it'll include lots of blogging about Halloween, but in addition will include blogging about all of our favorite party holidays: New Year's, Valentine's, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas!


Think of Salem & Binx as your go-to guide for all things holiday. Seeing as there’s always a holiday on its way, or at least four beautiful seasons to live by, Salem & Binx is a one of a kind lifestyle blog offering everything from tips on entertaining, festive merch’ favorites, and so much more…



And that's not all - there’s plenty more entertainment where that came from - Salem & Binx Present… is the all-new accompanying podcast to Salem & Binx. Join me, the Salem & Binx blogger, and my co-host and bestie Ashley W., as we discuss our culture's favorite holiday movies and explore seasonal cinema...

Feel free to subscribe to Salem & Binx and you'll be one of my contacts! Now, I promise not to bombard you with tons of annoying emails, only once in a little while will I send one with a number of recent updates in it. And if you'd like to be able to comment on the blog, become a member! All you need to do it sign up in the members tab and you can comment on any posts you like, follow other members, and create your own profile!



After working on the website and blog for a whole year now - and only developing the podcast within the past few months - I've only recently made Salem & Binx live to the public. So far, we've got two episodes, a few blog posts, and a website that's still somewhat under construction, but it's a process and it's coming along. 

Although part of me is sad to not be blogging on Vintage Seance any longer, I am very proud of the new home my work and blogging will now have - it allows me to expand on what Vintage Seance has always been into something that offers much more in the way of entertainment, finding and sharing the incredible work of others, and of course the opportunity to produce a holiday-movie-themed podcast - I must say, I see it as a win-win-win. 

To you, my awesome handful of loyal readers and followers, you guys are what have kept Vintage Seance what is has been, and are what have made it into what it's becoming! Your support has inspired me to keep following my dreams into becoming something in-between a wannabe Martha Stewart and a wannabe Elvira, with a playful edge, and I hope that you will continue to follow me in my next adventure. 


And of course, if that's too involved for you - not to worry we're on all the social stuff to make it even easier to keep up:



PLUS you can subscribe to Salem & Binx Present... which is available on: Apple Podcasts and Spotify!


Overall, I want to thank the lot of you awesome folks for making this such a fun and meaningful project to me - a blog that has allowed me and my work to grow - sincerely, thank you. Here's to always keeping in touch, to always having something to celebrate, and most importantly, to all things festive! 🥂

#HaunterLife



Pretty bummed to say I won't be able to decorate much this Halloween, let alone have my annual party. Feels really not right. My inner Haunter is hurting from lack of expression. Let's just say moving sucks. But I've been getting my fill of Halloween decor and nostalgia by living vicariously through movies and Pinterest like any other white girl! Been building up all of my excessive Halloween boards, especially my nostalgic/Halloween geek board:

My Favorite Nightmares



Been having so many nightmares lately. It reminds me of when I was a kid, back when the nightmares were due to my indulging in the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series by Alvin Schwartz, illustrated by the amazing Stephen Gammell. I love looking at Stephen Gammell's work this time of year anyway, so why not revisit the old nightmares? At least they were more interesting back then...


    I usually share the classics, from the Scary Stories series, but here are a few rare illustrations from other books featuring Gammell's work. I found them on Pinterest (here's my #HaunterLife for more goodies) which led me to a great blog called Razorwire Pictures, featuring even more rare illustrations. It also included a few other Halloween-themed/spooky throwback books from childhood - not illustrated by Gammell, but are still part of a great trip down memory lane!
















Oh, and then there's these... I want them.

A Change in the Wind Says I



 The insane semester finally ended, but not before I got the ever-evil strep throat...



Thank goodness that hell has ended now! I was able to graduate just as I was getting better! Feels good to be done with school once and for all...


At a very transitional stage now. You know, where Dustin Hoffman is in the scuba outfit at the bottom of the pool? That stage. Using this free time to write, improve my health, and figure out which road to take. Here's to a whole new direction, but staying me, all the way!

Hello October!


In case you haven't heard, I'm replacing Bloody Mary...



No but really, I am the ultimate pumpkin spice-latte-ordering/apple-picking/fall-leaves-loving white girl. 
But hey, it's OCTOBER - that's what I do! Bust out the cider, candles, and Halloween dec's, I say.


More Autumn Fabulousness on my Pinterest! (Cause that's what white girls do...)
#Haunterlife for novelty Halloween goodness, and Autumn for all those pumpkins!

West


I think it's safe to say I want to make a Western, considering my new "West" board on my Pinterest is getting a little intense...

In Over Your Head?

    I sure have been! Sorry for being away from the blog for so long! And sorry that all of my posts seem to be apologies from me about not being on my blog as often as I'd like. Sometimes I struggle trying to be in a million places at once; disneyland, school, improv, writing screenplays, and still trying to fulfill my haunter dreams. Either way, I always know that no matter how busy we become, our haunter life still awaits. Even when the season isn't here, even if we're too busy to post anything, or even if we haven't had the chance to create some great art in a long time. Anyway, just saying "Hello" again, and hoping all my favorite haunter folks are doing well. Your blogs are amazing and beautiful and continue to inspire me and encourage me. Thanks for always being frightful, my haunter friends!

Ringing in the New Year!


Hope everyone had a great time this holiday season! Unfortunately, I've been busy at work most of the time, but I love checking up on all of my fellow haunters, and I'm glad see that they're doing well. Here's to a beautiful new year filled to the brim with curiosity and spookery!
