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.

unveiling ~ ze cardigan

at last I can show you that cardi that I was altering. I have a large collection of buttons ~ thanks to my nan ~ I think I have about 10 large jars of vintage buttons ~ all shapes, sizes and colours and I am sure not one matches ! lucky I didn't want matching ~ I have been known to sit for hours with all the buttons on the floor, trying to find matching ones for some project I have been working on. Oneday ~ I want to go through them all and get any matching ones together. good therapy! SO ~ a new spring cardi, 5 vintage buttons & 1 metre of new floral braid equals:


I still have to find a little quote to embroider on the front

ps ~ sorry for the photo quality

I like what you've done with it. Great buttons! There's a shop in NYC called Tender Buttons. I could spend hours and hours in there! xo
