Ostara Picnic 🌼 Violet Lemonade & Cottage Witch Crafts

"The sullen winter nearly spent, Queen Flora to her garden went, to call the flowers from their long sleep, the year's glad festivals to keep." - Walter Crane
In this episode, we’ll be celebrating Ostara by baking up some scrumptious lemon and thyme tea cakes and a sweet violet lemonade made with magical herbs and edible flowers from my garden. We’ll also be trying our hand at one of my favourite crafts for this sabbath - pretty painted eggs in a traditional floral folk style. So come join me under the blossom trees, 'Anne of Green Gables' style, to celebrate the Australian Spring Equinox.
I so hope you will enjoy the video!

[@debigriffin1604]

I’m so happy I found you lol! I love these videos! I’m more of a kitchen/storm witch myself, but I’ve got love for all! Your videos are so relaxing. Looking forward to many more!

[@theramblingrose_]

Hi Debi! Oooh a kitchen/storm witch? Sounds very enchanted. I tend to find different sides of my witchy personality come out as the seasons change. Around Mabon I become all dark and moody. There's something beautiful and comforting about reflecting mother nature in that way 🌸

[@lissajacob9244]

Oh my goodness what a beautiful video!! 🌷🌱🌻I am very happy to have found your wonderful channel!! You are a wealth of information and have so many talents to share!! I will look forward to each and every one of your future videos!! Blessings to you!

This is such a vibe! I’m loving all this lush greenery ❤ So beautiful!

[@theramblingrose_]

It's my imaginary world come to life. Living the cottagecore dream! But... I'll let you in on a little secret, Maggie. Those blossoms actually had the worst, most pungent smell ever! Hehe! Well, I'm sure the insects loved it ;)

[@debby891]

Oh how I enjoyed this💜💜💜

[@mistymint7983]

🌼Love your content, it’s really lovely to see the beautiful Australian landscape in the seasons 🧚🌼

[@theramblingrose_]

Oh thank you so much! I'm so blessed to live in a part of Australia where the changing seasons are so beautiful. Although, I must admit, there are times I long for the endless summer of Far North Queensland. I really love papaya and dragonfruit!

Thank you so much Lola, that's wonderful to hear. I'm finishing up a new episode today, all about sowing a secret garden... I hope you'll love that too. Blessings to you xx

[@BrittanyS143]

Do you watch Jeri Landers? She's an artist like you and she puts together her secret garden in the eyes of Beatrice Potter the famous never forgotten writer of Peter Rabbit!! Jeri book illustrations are just phenomenal. I know you will like her and maybe get inspirational ideas, I know I did! I took screen shots of many frames that are just gorgeous. I'll have them developed and blown up some and hang in my dream shed!

[@theramblingrose_]

Oh no I haven't, I will be sure to check her out! Sounds amazing, Brittany. Thanks so much for watching - sending big hugs from my little corner of Australia ❤

[@HeavenlyCircus]

Just discovered your channel. It's beautiful!

[@theramblingrose_]

Oh thank you so much. It's just so nice to hear such lovely feedback. I'll keep working on more xx

[@ericaemmett7069]

Your lemons are looking great!

[@ericaemmett7069]

And if you learn how to follow a recipe, please teach me how ☺️

[@theramblingrose_]

@@ericaemmett7069 aha! My favourite recipes are the ones I know off by heart, and it's just intuitive and sometimes... experimental! I've been having fun with preserved lemons and pearl cous cous this week - mmmm!

[@lovelysxl]

Can we get a closer look of your beautiful quilt?

[@theramblingrose_]

Ooh, I think you'll see her again in future episodes... maybe in Tiny Hideaway?? ❤xx
