Happy 4th of July!

Today I give you permission to eat way too much homemade ice cream...

 to drip barbeque sauce on your favorite shirt...

 and to "oh" and "ah" at every firework!

Go ahead be a kid and enjoy the wonder and magic of this glorious summer day.  
Have a fun and safe 4th of July!!

Absinthe Faery

Ah summer!  The smell of fresh cut grass, the sound of cicadas in the trees and the start of Faire Season.  If you have never been to a renaissance faire or feary festival you are missing out on some wonderful summer fun.  These events are even better if you attend in costume.  Not sure where to start...here is some inspiration!

{Absinthe Faery}

headband { CrowningElements }

sandals { Sorala }

wings { MabinRhys }

dress { GoGothic }

Now get out there and have some summer fun!!

Blessed Litha

Are you ready for the trooping faeries!!  They will be on the move today and through the night, looking for a place to call home for a while.  Entice them to your garden with a bowl of cream or some honey.  Don't forget to spruce up the yard...add ribbons to the trees, a water fountain, twinkle lights, crystals...anything sparkly and fun.  Dance around your garden and rejoice in the abundance of summer!!

Today we honor the Sun God!!  You can learn more about Litha here.

There are ribbons in all of my trees, bubbles floating on the breeze, and sweet laughter filling my garden this Midsummer.  I have also been busy in the studio making pendulums charged with the wonderful energy of the Summer Solstice.

How do you celebrate Midsummer?
