About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Katoomba, NSW, Australia

here I am in a little cottage that evokes the energies of my ancestral lands - a cottage on the moors of Cornwall, or on the cliff tops of Ireland or Scotland. It has a hearth. I am a hedge witch {of sorts}. I wear upcycled clothes, patchouli oil and Redback boots. I am a gypsy; an eccentric and a mystic [I often live with a foot in two worlds]. I serve my guests, tea from an old silver teapot. I love Vervain, yarrow, chamomile & mint. Star watcher and Moon gazer. story cloth weaver. keeper of family dreams and wishes. good friend and creator of life. herbal tea drinker and potion maker.

Plan ahead and dream of all the beautiful things that life has to offer

*housekeeping~April 26*

today when I remade my bed~I followed the vintage housekeeper's way ~ lots of layering * sprinkling lavender water on the pillows and lots of quilts, eiderdowns and blankets..... pillows in lovely old pillowcases .... burning lavender oil and opening windows to let the fresh air in !!! and a fresh glass of water for the night time
It sounds divine..... I am sure this must help with a restful sleep.
I am wanting to make a hops pillow...it is said that hops has gentle sedative effects

1/4 cup dried hops
1/8 cup dried chamomile flowers
1/8 cup dried lavender flowers
3 drops lavender essential oil

Cut 2 pieces of fabric ( i like to use an old handkerchief or an old doily ) * each about 8 inches square and sew around the edges to make a pillow * leaving enough room to insert a tablespoon.
Spoon the herb mixture into the pillow and sew it shut.

place the hops pillow either next to your regular pillow or beneath it.
place it beneath your blankets during the day so that when you turn back the bed at night the fragrant herbal aroma greets you and surrounds your slumber

sweet dreams
