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

I love Fridays. They are usually the day that I get to putter. I am going to make a date loaf from the recipe that was my first mother in laws favourite - handed down to her from Nana Hawkins
*nan silks date loaf* - then I am going to do a little puttering around outside - I have a plan for my verandah. I have an old lounge out there and I want to cover it over with a vintage chenille and a few cushions. Add -some orchid plants, an old birdcage, a few vintage rose prints and a mirror.

now that sounds like you are making the perfect place to spend a fall afternoon with a nice cup of tea. I am trying to decide how I want to decorate my back deck for the spring and summer.

Sounds so cozy. I invision my enclosed porch furniture covered in a fabric with narrow blue and white stripes....a light slate blue. I hope to find some and do that job one of these days.
Thanks so much for the recipe. Date loaf is one of my favourite things. I loved reading your recipes and saving them to try. Great idea to share them and a lovely way to remember your grandma.
