I spent my Equinox with my Mom and my aunt, and luckily it was my day off. They took me to a wonderful little spice shop in NH called Pickity Place, it was cute and woodsy and witchy and beautiful, and mom bought me some fresh spices, a hanging candleholder for the fairy porch, and a Gothic plant: it's called an "Ornamental Black Pearl Pepper" plant.
