Spiraea Magic Carpet is a beautiful and versatile shrub that belongs to the Rosaceae family. It is a compact and low-growing shrub that reaches a height of about 2 feet and spreads up to 3 feet wide. The name "Magic Carpet" perfectly describes the appearance of this shrub, as its foliage seems to resemble a colorful carpet. The leaves of Spiraea Magic Carpet are small, oval-shaped, and have a vibrant combination of colors. When they emerge in spring, the leaves are a bronzy-red color, gradually turning yellow and then maturing into a rich green during the summer months. In the fall, the foliage turns a vibrant orange-red, adding a touch of warmth to the garden.
This is what I call the “you go to hell” symbol or a “hell hand.” It just looks that way doesn’t it? It says to me, “You see this guy Chauncey? He’s not going up, he’s going doooown.” Or it’s as if the hand is “chastising” poor Chauncey for all eternity. So this one made me laugh and scratch my head in confusion when I first saw it. While most hands carved onto stones are pointing upwards signifying a return to heaven, this symbol seemed just the opposite.

The Witch Haven
The Last Magician meets The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy in this atmospheric historical fantasy following a young woman who discovers she has magical powers and is thrust into a battle between witches and wizards.
In 1911 New York City, seventeen-year-old Frances Hallowell spends her days as a seamstress, mourning the mysterious death of her brother months prior. Everything changes when she’s attacked and a man ends up dead at her feet—her scissors in his neck, and she can’t explain how they got there.
Before she can be condemned as a murderess, two cape-wearing nurses arrive to inform her she is deathly ill and ordered to report to Haxahaven Sanitarium. But Frances finds Haxahaven isn’t a sanitarium at all: it’s a school for witches. Within Haxahaven’s glittering walls, Frances finds the sisterhood she craves, but the headmistress warns Frances that magic is dangerous. Frances has no interest in the small, safe magic of her school, and is instead enchanted by Finn, a boy with magic himself who appears in her dreams and tells her he can teach her all she’s been craving to learn, lessons that may bring her closer to discovering what truly happened to her brother.
Frances’s newfound power attracts the attention of the leader of an ancient order who yearns for magical control of Manhattan. And who will stop at nothing to have Frances by his side. Frances must ultimately choose what matters more, justice for her murdered brother and her growing feelings for Finn, or the safety of her city and fellow witches. What price would she pay for power, and what if the truth is more terrible than she ever imagined?
