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 ~ June 10

I had one of those days today. I woke up feeling overwhelmed, emotional and teary. So I gave into it and cried. Then my eyes got red and puffy and my nose looked swollen and I felt just as bad as I looked. So I took to my bed.

After wallowing for a few hours... in self pity and feeling oh so sorry for myself..I realized that I had to go shopping for the weekend groceries. Great !! going out looking like the Wreck of the Hesperus. So I put a bright cardi on, scooped my hair up and drove to Katoomba. Before I went shopping I treated myself to 3 pairs of bright stripey socks and 5 pairs of gorgeous undies. Trying to perk myself up ~ ha !! Off I went, up and down the aisles, hoping no one would notice how I looked and they didn't. Thankfully. Up to the checkouts and line upon line of people. So I just stood, waited and pondered.
Then I noticed a lovely looking lady.. so happy, trolley full of wonderful food and the most two darling little girls. One was dressed in a sweet floral skirt, purple tights and a red cardi ! And oh her hair was curly and the most divine auburn colour. She was helping mum load the groceries onto the conveyer belt..being very important at the age of 6. Her mum obviously knew how to spoil herself because in her trolley taking pride of place was a huge bunch of pink tiger lillies. So off my mind wandered ~ imagining her at home..puttering... setting the dinner table, lighting candles and those divine flowers in a big round vase.
