Hey there, fellow wanderer! Welcome to Ophelia’s Bazaar—where time, magic, and creativity collide in ways you never thought possible! ✨
*I glanced around.*
"Hi, I’m Cheryl, author at Cheryl.wTf and Head Business Witch at the Business Witch Academy. Before she gets back, I should tell you a little more about Ophelia🌈.
“She is kooky and silly, and older and wiser, than anyone I know. She's also a Doxie. You've never heard of a Doxie? I hadn't either until my life took a turn toward the really strange. A Doxie is like a mix between a dragon and a pixie - I think.
“She stands about 6 inches tall when on all 4 legs, but seems able to walk on two when she needs to. Mostly she looks like a really cute, tiny dragon. She has 2 curled horns and wings like a bat, and skin the texture of a salamander - mostly, but not always, you see, sometimes it’s scaly and sometimes she has fur. She’s pink and purple and blue and green and well, any color she wants to be, I think. You see, Ophelia’s appearance changes a lot. I think it’s mostly at will, or maybe it’s depending on her mood. She’s sort of hard to describe, you’ll just have to meet her. Then you’ll understand, she is….
“Unmistakable!
“I can’t wait for you to meet her. She should be back soon, I think. Ophelia doesn’t move through time and space the way we do - linearly. She tried to explain it to me one time, it involved spirals, and patterns, and something about dryer vents and socks. Anyway, it doesn’t really matter how it works. Just know that around here, not all who wander are lost and things aren’t always as they seem! Especially for those where time bends & imagination flows.”
*POP*
"What'd I miss?" Ophelia asked. Without pausing for an answer, she continued, "Are we still talking to our new friends? Did you tell them about me?"
"Yes, and yes. Though maybe you can answer a question for me. I heard a rumor that a Doxie's color can also be an indicator of your age. Is that true?
"I can neither confirm nor deny that statement." Ophelia responded with a twinkle in her eye.
“Did I mention she's a bit mischievous?”
“Am not!”
“I’m not doing this. I have a class to teach. Ophelia, have fun with your new friends, I’ll see you in the Quick Sell Mastery class this afternoon!”
“It’s Ophelia 🌈 here, and I’m absolutely thrilled you’ve decided to join me on this enchanted journey! You’ve just stepped into a world where candy lands turn dark and mysterious, cats with attitude guard ancient secrets, and the threads of magic weave together in ways that defy the ordinary. Trust me, it's going to be a wild ride, and I’m so excited to have you along for the adventure!
“As you may have noticed, I’m not your typical guide—I’m a time-traveling adventurer who sees life a little differently. Sometimes, I’m unearthing ancient knowledge, and sometimes, I’m simply figuring out how to keep that one stubborn cat from unraveling the fabric of reality (yes, it’s happened).
“I enjoy dancing with fireflies; playing Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock — did you know Spock once took out Wolverine with a Vulcan nerve pinch?
“What were we talking about? Oh! Right!
“If you’re a fellow wanderer with a penchant for the curious and magical, you’ve come to the right place!
“When I’m not busy keeping reality from unraveling (thanks to one very opinionated feline), I’m attending classes and hanging out with my friends at the Business Witch Academy…
Or I’m writing in my journal and scrapbooking pics of my adventures and all the awesome friends I make along the way…
As part of my work study program at the Business Witch Academy, I create the artwork, inspired by my adventures, that keeps everything looking magical! We've received so much positive feedback and questions about the artwork, that Cheryl, the Head Business Witch of the Academy, gave me permission to create a merch store and sell some of the artwork!
So, what is Ophelia’s Bazaar Substack all about?
I created this space to share the tales behind the art that I craft as part of my work study at the Business Witch Academy. Each piece has its roots in the adventures I’ve had while navigating this whimsical, sometimes treacherous, journey through time and space. You’ll find stories that unravel like candy vines, adventures that twist and turn through enchanted forests, and characters who, like me, are a little outside the realm of the ordinary.
What can you expect from Ophelia's Bazaar?
Magical Stories: Each piece of art comes with a tale straight from my travels—some whimsical, some perilous, but all unforgettable.
Exclusive Designs: Whether it’s a candy land turned sinister or a gothic cat with an attitude, my artwork isn’t just art—it’s a portal to another world.
Adventures & Insights: I’ll also be sharing some of my thoughts on navigating both magical and business realms because, hey, even time travelers and nomadic wanderers need to build successful empires, right?
Join me as we weave stories, explore the edges of reality, and unlock hidden magic together. I promise it will be a journey full of surprises, sparkles, and a few mischievous detours along the way.
