Potpourri and Fragrant Crafts

  Ron had gotten me Betsy Williams's Are There Fairies in the Bottom of Your Garden? from the witch at The Green Dragon that he buys me incense and candles from. The fabulous crystal rock hound sells specimens directly across from her. I'd bought a beautiful twin crystal from him, but Ron had gotten me a cherry quartz jaspar wand from him as well as carved animals. I had read the darling little booklet to him on the way to The William Penn Inn, which is a bit of a haul. We were so impressed that our private Beltane celebration will be the best ever this year. I also went looking for more of Betsy's work. She's a real herbalist in a world of fakes. My Grandma had a bookshelf full of Reader's Digest books, they were all the rage back in the day when people were real. I have only just started this book, but I love it already. I am sure that it will bring me joy for years to come, not to mention the gifts from my garden and walks to my favorite Peeps.

Old-fashioned Herb Garden

I want an old-fashioned herb garden like Joanna Furnace has. I've been working on it in small patches over the years having read a book from The Met about medieval monks and cloister gardens like in The Lady and the Unicorn tapestry. I have lavender, woad, soapwort, and have planted other things such as sage and thyme, but I want to plant a raised garden like this. I want to fill it with useful things.
