Midnight in New Orleans

Can you spot Esmeralde's ghost?

Aunt Queen's Cameo Collection Part 3

This one might be arriving at a critical moment.  Anyone who wants to howl about "AI Slop" is invited to sit right down and carve me this magnificent piece of jewelry, please and thank you:

Aunt Queen's Cameo Collection Part 2

Part 2 of Aunt Queen's Cameo Collection involves Pompeii.  Or rather, the ruins left behind after Mount Vesuvius erupted.  There was no way to get a scenic cameo of Pompeii with that volcano in the background without it reminding me of Mount Hood.

If you have read Blackwood Farm, you might recall the fascinating character that is Quinn's beloved Aunt Queen.  

Happy New Year!

A bit belated, but here is something else from a couple of years ago...

A-hem.

Is This Rowan Mayfair?!

No. This is not Mary Ann with the pot Rowan with the Mayfair emerald.

I just watched Almost Famous and couldn't help myself.  Sue me.

Inspired by Witches and Vampires: Mayfair Emerald Cameo

If you have read Blackwood Farm as well as the Lives of the Mayfair Witches novels, you'll no doubt be familiar with at least one piece of jewelry described.  The Mayfair emerald.  One does not have to read very far into The Witching Hour before they encounter the first description of this piece of jewelry.

Remembering Anne Rice

Today, Anne Rice will be remembered in her hometown, New Orleans, at an event put together by Christopher Rice and Eric Shaw Quinn.  Although I am unable to attend and having had a lot going on (being camera shy to begin with almost doesn't even need to come into it), I am still thinking of Anne on this day.  

Nottoway Plantation

On Thursday, May 15, 2025, we lost a rich and complex piece of history.  The mansion at Nottoway Plantation, which in recent years operated as a resort and wedding venue, was destroyed by a massive fire.

Yes, Season 3

Mayfair Witches Season 3
AMC/Immortal Universe

Just the other day, I was on Facebook, looking at what, exactly, I don't recall as nothing much happens over there.  But--up popped a new video from the official Mayfair Witches page (for the series, you understand).  At first, I couldn't figure out those were crystals, but the other items, the sage, salt, candles and Tarot cards, were pretty much a dead giveaway.

Will There Be a Season 3 of Mayfair Witches?

So far, there has been no word on whether or not there will be a Season 3 of Mayfair Witches on AMC.  Seasons 1 and 2 can be streamed on amc+, and Season 1 can also be streamed on Netflix.

Mayfair Witches S02E08 - The Innocents

Mayfair Witches S02 E08 AMC Networks

Again, get comfortable.  Bring a wedding feast, airline peanuts, whatever you've got.  This is another long one.

From IMDb: Rowan is determined to save Lasher; Cortland becomes an unlikely adversary. 

The Season Two finale of Mayfair Witches seemed to have been resolving some things, but not others.  In case there is a Season Three, which has not been announced.  If there is a Season Three, what would have to be resolved from Season Two?

Mayfair Witches - A Bit of Review During the Break

Mayfair Witches in 2 Weeks, AMC

*Something annoying happened to my formatting. I'm correcting it gradually according to my level of irritation.

While Super Bowl Sunday was in progress in New Orleans, AMC did not air a new episode of Mayfair Witches. Instead, we were able to watch the episodes already aired, in order.

We were also able to see featurettes that discussed some of the more interesting things about Season 2. Of course, I was quite fascinated by the featurette that discussed how the scenes that appeared to be playing out inside the dollhouse!

Mayfair Witches S02E05 - Julien's Victrola

Mayfair Witches S02 E05 AMC Networks

From IMDb: Rowan demands Julien's help in finding Lasher; Moira probes Cortland's mind for important memories.

Since it will be two weeks until Episode 6, I thought I'd get right to it.  Well, those things and no matter what anyone thinks of the show, I'm still going to talk about the model (let's call it that) of the Mayfair house in Julien's afterlife.  If you've seen my images and/or video of my 3D model of the Mayfair house of the novels, which is always very much a work-in-progress, you probably won't be surprised.

From IMDb: Rowan must find Lasher in order to right her wrongs, but even Sip doesn't know where Lasher is.
