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.

making a note . .


you know sometimes when you get a great idea and never act on it? next thing you know, someone else has found that thought from somewhere deep in your mind and they have run with it.
I had a 'dream/ thought/ vision/idea - call it what you will but I am going to put it down here so that I remember. Now, I don't know if it has been done and if it has - well - so be it. And if it hasn't been done & I inspire someone - wonderful! but I am going to do it anyhow - just have to find me some pieces of clothing
take a vintage cardi *or new* and embellish - a quaint saying embroidered somewhere, change the buttons to vintage, unmatching, sew some braid, trim or pompoms along the bottom and you have a unique, stylish, out there piece of clothing - much along the same lines as altered art, although I guess you could say it is a type of altered art - watcha think?

Heavenly idea! Just think of all the possibilites with this--you could take a plain jane item and really dress it up, or have a really feminine and sweet item end up with a little edginess to it for a great twist. Your creativity is really flowing lately! I can't wait to see where this goes!

Would love to see it. Be sure to post it when you are done. You ARE going to give it a try, right?? Thanks for your comment at my blog. If I were in Australia, I would come do the painting on your wall for you...I'm a muralist and I've only been doing this illustration type art for about a year.....or less! So thanks lots for the compliment!
