Kitchen Witch

My husband asked me last week, "So Mary....um when are we taking down Halloween decorations?"

Halloween Decorations?...It's January. There are no Halloween decorations up. Then he pointed out my Kitchen Witch:



The poppet is supposed to depict a "good" witch who inspires productivity and safety in a kitchen. --from Wikipedia

An old European tradition, my mom always had a Kitchen Witch, they are good luck; Keep pots from boiling over, keeps food from burning, etc...

Just think how much worse off we'd be WITHOUT a kitchen witch...maybe I should get more than one?
