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 ~ June 22

Once again Wednesday, so I vacuumed,dusted and puttered in the lounge and sitting rooms. I would love to get a new lounge ~ the old original 1930's club lounge looks absolutely wonderful but it is the most uncomfortable beast I have ever sat in. I am sure it is full of sand. Just not sure which way I want to go with the lounge ~ leaning towards a comfy sofa and a few mismatched armchairs. I would love the lounge to be red and chairs in yellow, verdi blue and a few patterns. I really want to make some more cushions - lots of them - inviting, comfortable kind of cushions * cushions we can hold when watching a sad movie * cushions that we can have little naps on when we need to ..I just need to find some gorgeous patterns. I cleaned the fire place out and relit the fire in readiness for this week's cold weather. I am thoroughly enjoying the cold...maybe snow tonight !!!

I've already started to think about what type of lounge we are going to have once we move into our own home Robyn. I am a big comfort fan, and would really love something really big and squishy! Hubby likes leather though, so who knows what we will end up with? I can't wait to see what you end up getting. We have our wood fire on continuously now it's so cold...Mark keeps it going and always nice and clean, and it's amazing how warm and cozy it keeps this whole house. He'll be jealous if you end up getting snow tonight ~ he can't wait til we get colder!!

June 22 - I wonder if you did get snow? You know we had such long, beautiful autumn and it was a shame that we couldn't appreciate it because we all wanted it to rain so much. Now that it has, and the weather has turned cold, I think people are enjoying winter like they never have before.

You keep mentioning the wood fire and I wish I had one. I wouldn't mind cleaning it or chopping the wood. My husband used to chop wood for hours at my parents farm and it saved them having to do it when they got older. I'd love a big old wood stove, too. Still need my electric one for the hot summer days, though.
