About Me

My photo
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.

a picturesque walk through Nimbin Museum..

Nimbin has it's own museum. unlike any i have ever seen - ever.

at the front door is part of a Kombie - with a crazed looking man/model driving it, promising of what is inside..



this cubby house reminded me of a cubby I had when I was a little girl - the sign was even more poignant for me




I actually lay down on the floor to take this.. but you can do that in Nimbin and no-one bats an eyelid

I am going to make one of these! a perfect peace sign. peace, perfect peace.


beautifully peaceful. Buddha does that to me.

and sharing ~ a Virgin a day - Mary n Me:

this print sits on my art desk, surrounded by all that is me.. paint brushes, pictures of my ancestors & stuff.

join in!

Glad you enjoyed Nimbin. Always wanted to go there. Came really close many years ago at Byron Bay but travelling with daughter who had a different agenda. Was whisked away from these places and up to Queensland. Thanks for taking me there.

Good to see you back. And thank you for a fascinating tour of Nimbin. Many of the sentiments written here are sorely needed today! xoxo

What a fun museum! Not stuffy and I bet you didn't have to be quiet either. I love all the signs....there are so many of them and they say things so perfectly.
