    May 9 2024

    The 90s were truly one of the best decades for witches, especially the Halliwell sisters of the hit WB television show, Charmed. With mystical flair, a focus on family and unshakeable dedication to girl power, it captivated audiences for eight seasons from 1998 to 2006 and continues to cast it's spell over millions. For Britany, a graphic designer, artist, and prolific Charmed collector, the magic of the Power of Three has remained just as strong as it was when she saw her first episode in elementary school. Since then, her love for the Warren Witches has grown into an impressive archive of Charmed memorabilia which serves as a symbol for both her decade of devotion as well as her expansive creative talents. Join the conversation as we discuss the influence of the Halliwell sisters, the insulting lack of official Charmed merchandise, recreating props from the show and much more!
