Herbs and Flowers



We were shopping at Walmart this morning and what do I see sitting there? An herb garden kit! I've been wanting to try this again, (I had a similar kit years ago) I just hope they live. The box says "guaranteed to grow", but who knows with me?

Then I made my dad take me to Beadniks (gotta love that store!) so I could buy stuff, and I found that little egg shaped thing. It was called 'Fairies' Favorite Flower!' and said 'Believed To Attract Fairies!' I bought it without a second thought. Something as small as that is just wicked convenient, it fits right on my windowsill. It also says it's guaranteed to grow, but most of the seeds looked crushed.

Fingers crossed that I don't really have a black thumb! Have a good Sunday. <3

Medieval Faire

There was a Medieval Faire in a town near us and I got to go! Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera so I couldn’t take any pictures while I was there. It was fun though. There was a tent where people were making Herb Charms. I bought a Charm Against Fear for myself and a Charm for Joy for a friend.
I even got a book with them called Book of Medieval Magic Herb Charms. It has a list of common herbs and what they will bring you, and a list of what herbs are in which charms. I think this is going to be a very useful little book!
In the Charm Against Fear there is Larch, Pear, Juniper, Elder, Sage, and Fennel.
In the Charm For Joy there is Pear, Allspice, Cloves, Ivy, Orange, Bay, Larkspur, Rose, Lemon, and Juniper.
