The author is me - Sarah Pogue - an artist, illustrator, writer and mother. The intention behind this blog is to share what I am learning as I pursue these passions so that it may be of help to like minded people. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I am so encouraged by the many people who are living consciously and striving to bring simple, natural, homemade enchantment into thier homes. I offer my stories, pictures and other handmade items to add to that growing spirit in our world.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Magic and Moss is also an <a href="http://www.magicandmoss.etsy.com/">Etsy shop</a>, which carries my books and children's art as well as soft, waldorf inspired toys and knitted accessories that go along with them.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bxYwMwXZdWM/TwSKn3Pxl_I/AAAAAAAAAmU/5xDhXjXJsj4/s1600/bunny+toy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bxYwMwXZdWM/TwSKn3Pxl_I/AAAAAAAAAmU/5xDhXjXJsj4/s400/bunny+toy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">My other</span><a href="http://archetypaltheatre.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: black;"> blog</span></a><span style="color: black;"> and </span><a href="http://www.archetypaltheatre.etsy.com/"><span style="color: black;">Etsy shop</span></a><span style="color: black;">, Archetypaltheatre, focuses on fine art (I paint portraits and landscapes and sculpt mixed media figures).</span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I hope you find inspiration and magic here!</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8719964170323357133-6335306965290031528?l=magicandmoss.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sarah Poguehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00457358373332115503noreply@blogger.com0
