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 ~ May 28

how I hate ironing !!!! I have one little indulgence in my housekeeping life and that is an ironing lady ~ all that time spent standing at an ironing board when I could be out in the garden. So I pay a lady to do the ironing for me..she loves to iron and I call her my ironing angel.
However, today is cold, so I am going to turn the iron on and proceeded to iron a pile of vintage handkerchiefs, pillow cases and supper cloths. I wet them down with lavendar water * iron and fold them. It will be such pleasure to do it * noticing all the fine hand work. Some I will put away for friends and some I will put in a lovely big pile in my linen cupboard. I like nothing better than a tidy linen cupboard * all the lovely things sitting there waiting to be used.
My linen cupboard is a huge built in with old timber doors that my husband restored ~ my touch ares the lavendar bags hiddne among the towels and sheets.

Oh no! don't get me wrong, I am not going to start doing my pile of ironing, just the lovely things.

I'm going to splurge and buy some lavender water. I have linens from both sides of the family and they're just stuffed in the hall closet now. Not good! You've inspired me to tidy up and leave them sweet-smelling.

You do me good, girlfriend!
