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

living ~May 13

oh today I had the best fun. I went to a local second hand shop that is full to the brim with stuff. Two floors of it. Upstairs is all the good stuff ~ china, silver and various collectables but downstairs are about 5 rooms...all a mish mash of boxes, old clothes, linen, shoes and odds and ends....so I scrounged for an hour. It was delightful. I sat on the floor and just went through piles and piles of old linen...and the old clothes are to die for, they really are..... genuine vintage not the reproduction stuff that lots of people pass of for vintage or retro. These were a step back into the past ~ exquisite pyjamas * old evening gowns * day dresses and cardis........ what did I buy ? a gorgeous old yellow sheet that has embroidery on one edge... I think I will make a bed cover from that... a few bits of vintage fabric...... a tablecloth and a divine belt actually it is quite kitsch but suits my personality to a tee !!!!! good old fashioned fun is what I had today

Lucky duck ! Sounds scrummy ~ I can't wait til I'm back out there having fun. I can just imagine you sitting there 'engrossed', and totally fulfilled.
