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.

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.

introducing dear Mona

this is Mona - my gift for tonights patchwork party - we all take a gift, put it in a draw and pick one each
she was going to be menopausal moaner but she is just too darn cute to be a moaner, me thinks! I have had such fun with her. You know, I am so happy that I have re-discovered my love for making dollies - I did it for many years and I guess I got burnt out ~ but now I am having fun creating & I truly believe these dolls are art....
Mona:
from her gorgeous vintage diamante belt buckle (sorry, the photo is blurry)

to her cute vintage ribbon & beads around her neckline


right down to her little black tuille petticoat underlay

Mona! I think you are just PERFECT!!

She is just so gorgeous anyone would be pleased to receive her. She looks as though you could have a really long conversation with her. She doesn't look like a menopausal mona to me, she looks quite the gal about town who you never know what she will be up to next.

Oh MY Gosh. She is fantastic Robyn, you are brilliant.
Menopausal..perhaps?
Moaner......never!
She will be a delightful companion to whomever is lucky enough to get her.
If I'd made her, I would find it very hard to say good-bye..!
