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.

day 3. a gift for Mary


Sunday. what can I post I wonder?
looking out my window - our neighbours laden hydrangea bush

I want to go and pick one to put at Mary's feet in the little shrine in my front yard..to honour Her, to show how much I love Her.

and hope that when tourists walk past on their way to Katoomba Falls
they will see Her and be touched...

Dear Robyn, it is so wonderful that you have been joining in with the Art Novena every day! Today's post is straight from the heart. The hydrangea by Her feet is beautiful. In South Africa a hydrangea is known as a Christmas Rose - very fitting for the Mystical Rose, dont you think? I love your postcard!! What a creative idea. I will be in Avalon in September! I have signed up for the UK Sacred Art Retreat and will be going to Glastonbury after that. blessings

Even in summer, we cannot grow hydrangea here in Edmonton. Too cold for them. So of course I love it whenever I can see their beauty in more temperate climes.

What a lovely gift to passersby.

I completely agree with Rebecca. I miss hydrangea, I had them when I lived in Tennessee. Your photo brought a smile to my heart during this cold freeze Colorado is captured in.

Peace be with you!

I agree with Meri, it is a lovely visual gift to others,- things of beauty and grace always are, and your sweet display may give a pause for reflection in this busy life.

It is fantastic that you live at Katoomba falls and have 3 hens named Mary! I know that you inspire those who pass by....oh and you inspire others across the world as well.
