a journey of self discovery. You just never know what we might see. Is that a fairy ring under that rowan tree? Look! - a hedgewitch, I wonder what she is brewing in her cauldron today. Oh, and look at that poor menopausal soul, she needs our love & understanding. We may take a stop at the creativity school or a wander through the garden. And maybe, we will take the time machine back to the past! But wherever we go, we will always take time to stop for tea.

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.

in a past life. . .


in the 80's - I was in love with Billy Idol * but I also went out and got my hair cut like Annie Lennox in the Eurythmics * yes ! really short and bleach, bleach blonde. dare I post a photo?
it is good to laugh at yourself, is it not? laugh and the world laughs with you - so they say, but if I posted a photo of my Annie Lennox era - the world would be laughing at me, not with me!
maybe we should start a weekly photo challenge
tuesday terrors or something like that - gee I could come up with some doozy photos!

Me too! Oh I loved the New Wave music and still do. But right after my daughter was born in 82 I took the scissors and did the Olivia Newton John look!
I`d love to see the picture of you.

I lived in Little Tokyo in Los Angeles in the 80's and did the whole club scene. Danced with George Michael, spotted late-night Michael Jackson sightings...the 80's were the BEST and so were the fashions and hair. Sure, it's popular right now to make fun of the shoulder pads and Big Hair and Bling, but it was a COOL ERA and I'm happy it was mine! Ahh...Billy Idol! Did you by chance see Adam Sandler's the Wedding Singer? Billy Idol has a cameo appearance in the movie and I was just MELTED when I saw him! With a Rebel Yell, she cried MORE MORE MORE!

This is a good idea! Ms. R...I liked Billy Idol also...I use to have a large poster of him on the side of one of my cabinets...(back in the 70's)...now I'm liking (in lust) Dave Navarro....

Billy Idol is STILL my guilty pleasure. He's ageless. And Annie Lennox! Well, 'nuff said. Far out female.

Love Billy. Saw him once and all I remember is an old boyfriend stalking me there! Yuk. I also remember a little boy about 2 with spiked hair and cute little jeans that was just adorable! I always wanted to spike my hair, but it is too curly and all the gel and mouse in the world never helped keep it straight! Grrrr. It would rather turn out like a fro..... But I did wear the sweade boots with choke chains around them--grin.
