I’m Chelsea.

Feminist/leftist born and raised in New England (I’ll never leave).
I’m a kitchen witch who loves reading, cold/wet weather, fairies, practicing hand embroidery, The Real Housewives, and my husband. I’m still in my emo phase.

Let’s be friends🤍

Going to a wedding in Nantucket this weekend, the dread.

Since when did weddings become a 3 day event? Welcome party at a bar the night before, the 6 hour wedding day, then brunch/watch football (eww) the day after. Just kill me.

🍂Autumn
by Stanislaus S. Longley

Watercolour depicting a woman dressed in classical style, flowing green robes, accompanied by two young deer. A single leaf flutters down from an autumnal tree, some leaves have already fallen to the ground. A blue sky, with clouds, fills much of the background.

I’m not a fan of weddings tbh, I’m not very social but I get why other people, especially whoever is getting married would want to do it.

I’m skipping the brunch. I just can’t.

Something lovely for the weekend!

Ancient Egyptian gold headband decorated with heads of gazelles and a stag between stars or flowers. Second Intermediate (Hyksos) period, Dynasty 15, c. 1648–1540 BC. 📷 The Met www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...

#Archaeology

Met Museum photo of an Ancient Egyptian gold head ornament viewed from the front against a grey background. The headband is made of hammered sheet gold, the ends of which have been tapered to a narrower width and rolled to form loops. A string would have threaded through the loops to fasten the band around the head at the back. The front of the band is decorated with a central head of an antlered stag, identified as the Persian fallow deer (Dama mesopotamica). The stag has two large antlers, large ears and a triangular-shaped head. It is flanked on either side by two gazelle heads. The gazelle heads have long ears and long curved horns which point outwards at the tip. Between the animal heads are four 8-pointed flowers or stars. Dimensions: height of central stag 8.9, length of headband 49.5 cm.

Dated to the Second Intermediate period (c. 1648-1540 BC) when northern Egypt was ruled by the Hyksos from the ancient Near East. Said to be part of a group of objects found in the Eastern Delta near Avaris, the Hyksos capital. The headband shows a mix of ancient Near Eastern and Egyptian artistic styles.

Worked my ass off all Spring and lost over 20 lbs. I know it’s normal and necessary, I’m going through the one process where you’re pretty much guaranteed to gain weight, but seeing the scale slowly creep back up is so demoralizing😫

Pic 4 is thought to be the oldest hanging wallpaper in the US. You probably think it’s dumb but I think it’s so incredibly cool. It was originally red but rusted.

We looked at scarecrows, toured old mansions of key players in the American revolution, drank lemonade and ate gelato. Perfect day with my favorite person.

Nothing I love more than an old New England town🧡

Scarecrows on Main in Wethersfield, CT.

The town is know for being the site of the first large-scale witch trials in the American colonies.

Ghosts and pumpkins surrounded by tombstones that say “feed hungry people” “rip food insecurity” “support food banks” and “rip childhood hunger”
