Thank you so much for this tremendous list. I’ve been itching to crochet again for a while now, so the sun coasters are the perfect sized project to get me back into it.

Thanks again and I’m glad to have found you.

I might also add that I am completely in agreement with you about paper plates being underrated in crafting, which is a shame because there are so many fun things you can do with them. I think they were probably one of my favorite supplies to use when I was doing the craft time with the kids at work pre-Covid.

A little surprise is sent your way, I hope it reaches you in time for your birthday.

I cannot believe the days are getting shorter, I’ve just gotten used to the light, now we are nearing darkness again, sigh. I hold on to my love for autumn, Halloween, Christmas and Winter – despite the darkness and cold weather.

Have a lovely day, dear. 🙂

Hi Autumn, you’re very welcome! I enjoy our chats too, it’s great to have a blogging friend and it feels like a real sense of community visiting others’ blogs and connecting. 🙂

I did enjoy my lunch! Your lemonade sounds lovely too. 🙂 I don’t often make my own lemonade, so when I do it feels special.

My pleasure and I’m excited to hear that the first in the series may be coming soon! 🙂

Aw, thank you! I plan to enjoy summer. Ah yes, I can see why autumn and winter would be preferable for you in that case. 🙂 Autumn is my 2nd favourite, a lovely time of year. There is something beautiful in all seasons though. <3
I'm glad it's started to warm up there (we are seeing some warmer weather in the UK too).

Thank you, I had a nice Litha. Wishing you a wonderful summer and season between Litha and Lammas! 😊

Oooohh, Laura, you poor dear! I am so sorry that you had to undo surgery this year. Though my tonsils have never caused me any issues, my sister’s were a bear for her as a child so she had them removed at a rather young age.

I hope that you have been able to really relax and recoup in the wake of your operation and that it won’t be long before you are feeling good as new again, my friend.

So true about *finally* needing to whip up a homemade herb drier. I have made a few over the years, but am without one at present and really should remedy that before 2022 draws to a close.

From the bottom of my heart, I wish you a swift + complete recovery coupled with a joyful winter ahead.

It is my heartfelt pleasure, sweet soul. Thank you abundantly in turn for your awesome support and for sharing in the wonders, magic(k), and timeless soul of each turn on The Wheel of the Year here with me.

I hope that you had a fantastic Litha (despite unseasonably cool, damp weather that day, mine was terrific) and that these all-too-brief days between the Summer Solstice and Lammas/Lughnasadh are filled with sunshine, laughter, joy, and blessings for you and your loved ones.

I hear you, my fellow fall + winter adoring friend. Though I do find that there can be a sense of bittersweetness to the return of shorter days (especially in years such as this that sorely lacked decent springtime weather) and often wish it could stay light later at night for a few weeks more.

Alas, the seasons will always do as they please and in parting ways with the brightest half of the year, we get to gear up for the joys, beauty, and magic of fall – which, to my mind, is well forth the sun setting a few hours earlier.

How awesome that you have become all the more enamoured with tea towels (plus tea in general). I am quite a fan myself and love swapping seasonal ones in throughout the year.

May this summer be one of your loveliest, happiest, and most serene to date, dear Debi, and lead to an even more amazing fall! 🎃

🖤 Autumn

Thank you very much for your terrific comment! I so enjoy the chats we swap back and forth while visiting one another’s sites throughout the year.

Your summertime lunch sounds fantastic! We have, for all intents, only started to get decently warm weather here this year in the past few days. I’m thinking a hefty pitcher or two of lemonade (possibly with the addition of strawberries, raspberries, or fresh local peaches) is in order on this end, too.

Thank you big time as well for letting me know that you’d be on board with a sabbat recipe post series. I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag, but I *may* already be working on the first entry in that series. Mum’s the word until it launches though. 😊

My heart smiles for you over the fact that your very favourite season has returned. When I was much (much!) younger, summer followed fairly close on autumn’s heels for me.

As I’ve gotten older (and also in part due to the impact of extreme heat on some of my medical conditions), winter has edged its way into second place. I still love summer dearly though and am looking forward to making the best of these few, all-too-brief weeks of sunshine and vibrancy as far as the eye can see.

I hope that you had a splendid sabbat and that these gorgeous sun-kissed days between Litha and Lamma/Lughnasadh smile abundantly on you. 🌞

Ooohh, same here, dear Meg. There is just something so endearingly sweet and nostalgic about those darling maple seed dragonflies.

I too will be keeping my eyes open for fallen maple seed pods this summer and fall during my nature walks and hope to find some so as to try my hand at this lovely project.

Big hugs & many heartfelt thanks for all of your wonderful blog comments this spring. 💗

🖤 Autumn

You are mightily welcome, my dear friend. Thank you, truly, for being keen to learn more about them.

I fully understand that for those outside of the Pagan/witchy sphere, they may hold little interest or personal significance, so receiving positive back such as yours from a non-Pagan/witch means a great deal (and is such a beneficial source of encouragement for future sabbat related posts).

I hear you! I too would be hard-pressed as to where to start on this delightful list of Litha craft projects. As a huge lover of sea glass, the wind chimes featuring this lovely beachcombed treasure leaps out at me – as do the sweetly charming maple seed dragonflies (plus plenty more!).

Many thanks again, Hilary. May the coming month be a time of tranquillity, sunshine, and oodles of happiness.

🖤 Autumn
