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

lots to do today ! as usual I am cleaning the bathrooms, changing our bed sheets and vacuuming & dusting the bedroom. And as I have said many times.... it is the routine of it that keeps me sane and routine that keeps my home fresh
I wash my sheets in a 'green' detergent with a scoop of powdered borax * lavender oil in the rinse water and hang in the fresh air and sunshine to dry! I buy a wonderful water soluble lavender water from the supermarket * a few drops is plenty
I love to slip into bed on Monday nights... those lovely fresh, crisp & clean sheets.
Even during winter, I like to leave our french doors in our bedroom, open during the day * just to let the fresh air blow through * fresh air is always good! Fresh flowers on Mondays are a must in the bedroom * just a few picked from the garden.... and later in the afternoon I light a small tea light * either lavender or rose, turn on my Jesus lamp and it's ready for our night of pleasant dreams

I'm doing exactly the same today Robyn, I must buy some of that lavender solution too.

I agree with the open windows and doors to let fresh air into the house. I loathe that stale smell that houses can get, all it takes is some fresh air every now and then to make a home feel like it is breathing. Yes, I want to get lavender water now too!

Nothing beats a clean, beautifully smelling home...I love using the soluble lavender water too ~ it's divine ~ I mix some up in a spray bottle and after cleaning a room, like to make a couple of light sprays on the window blinds/curtains.

Your post turns into a picture in my mind....its not clear, but something from a glossy page in a magazine...or a dreamy scene from one of our old 'Victoria magazines'. Or better yet, one of the scenes from the book 'Old Rose and Silver'. ms*robyn, you have perfected the art of homemaking...I love it!
