Winter Solstice Seasonal Swap

Beautiful, thoughtful Faerwillow over at To Fall or Stumble Upon has set up another exciting Seasonal Swap!

For those creative, artistic ones amongst us, what a wonderful way to share your handicrafts; for everyone else, a chance to reach out and greet another like-minded spirit.

Look no further for an enchanting way to celebrate this most magickal of seasons with friends. Take a peek into Faerwillow's wintry wonderland here. 

down---to---earth

down---to---earth, is one of my favourite blog reads and I heartily recommend to those of you who haven't yet discovered Rhonda Hetzel's daily posts, about self-sufficiency and the simple life, to take a look. 

As an aside, these photos have nothing to do with the post.

Just thought they were pretty.

When I first entered blogland a mere matter of months ago, Rhonda's was one of the first blogs I found and I have subsequently gone back and read through her archive of informative, no-nonsense writings, finding each one as refreshing and filled with common sense as the next. 

Her blog and forums provide an online community for like-minded people to share ideas, recipes and tips about living economically, simply and naturally, with care for one's environment and one's own soul along the way. Truly inspirational reading and I would definitely guide you towards her tips on budgeting and stockpiling food if, like me, any of you are trying to be a little more money-conscious!

This week she has kindly featured my contribution to her series of posts about readers' workspaces called 'This is Where I Work'. Thank you Rhonda and happy reading, folks!
