High Fives - October 27, 2017




High Fives are articles or blog posts I have read during the week that I find interesting, and perhaps are pertinent to my research. Sometimes there are only a couple and sometimes there are quite a few.

Herbs & Verbs: How to Do Witchcraft For Real

Harry Houdini’s Ghost

The Haunted Dollhouse
~by Jenny Lawson at The Bloggess
This is the only blog I read that is not genealogy related, and this one I had to share.
I’ve always wanted to build a dollhouse, but Jenny takes it to a whole other level. This link is to the third post, so use the links in the first paragraph to see posts one and two.  






For more exciting weekend reading, see what posts these bloggers liked...
