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

vintage pastimes ~ dressmaking


I would love to make myself a skirt out of a vintage curtain or maybe a gorgeous old tablecloth! teamed with a favourite vintage cardi & my hair up with a diamante clip - vintage chic
must go and look at Laraines' shop today to see if there is anything I like

I love the look of vintage chic Robyn, and what a great idea of making a skirt out of vintage curtain or tablecloth...I have a vision of you in my minds eye already!
Wish I could sew more than just a straight line...what fun.
I'm waiting on my basic new sewing machine to arrive just so that I can start sewing basic shabby throws and pillows ~ I should be able to manage those ;)

This is such a good idea, I've actually found great vintage cloth online at either ebay or tradme (nz) - it depends where in the world you are really. Also another place to look are in op shops (thrift shops).
