The Card and Vine

#bathtea is coming back to #TheCardandVine 🛀💧🌿 #newproduct #comeback #craftlife #herbalist #herbalremedies#bathtime #relax (at Bel Air, Maryland)

#Faeriecon is in full swing! Come to the main vendor room and visit us. (Mention this post and we'll give you 10% off!) #flyingointment #witchesofig #fairies #fairieslivehere #dreampillows #oilylife #goblin #craftfair #craftlife #sale #handcrafted #handmade #witchcraft #witchesofinstagram #pagan #paganism #druids #druidcraft #wiccanlife #wiccansofinstagram (at Delta Hotels by Marriott Baltimore Hunt Valley)

Almost done with setup for #faeriecon and I'm rolling home. Wish me luck this weekend! Hope to see some of you there. (at Delta Hotels by Marriott Baltimore Hunt Valley)

Today is a shower fizzy production day! Using #rosemary I've grown and dried this summer from my #backyard #containergarden to boost the #essentialoils in the Energy #showerfizzies recipe. Check my bio for my online store to grab some before #faeriecon comes and eats them all! Fully expecting these to sell out, since the rosemary and #lemon blend will be dynamite as a #hangover cure. 😜 #TheCardandVine #herbalist #herbalremedies #witchcraft #witchesofig #witchesofinstagram #homestead #craftfair #craftlife (at Bel Air South, Maryland)

I'm making about a bazillion of these #dreampillows for #faeriecon next weekend, while the husband unit plays the new #mario game for #nintendoswitch--this totally counts as bonding time. Right? (Right?!) #TheCardandVine #herbalist #herbalremedies #insomnia #luciddreaming #craftfair #craftlife #mugwort #hops #witchy #witchcraft #wiccan #witchesofinstagram #witchesofig (at Bel Air South, Maryland)

Sooo I may have taken over the dining room table for #faeriecon product prep. ^^; I love you, husband unit! #forgiveme #craftlife #TheCardandVine #beprepared

Why yes--that would be a new label on the #meditation balm. Isn't it fabulous?! It even has an ingredient list on it, too! Buh-bye, business cards with ingredients. And in case I wasn't clear when this product was first released: it's a #witchy beginner's #flyingointment made with #mugwort, based on #medieval ingredient lists and the #plants I grow in my own #backyard. (Once I figure out how to keep the dogs out of it, you bet your bottom dollar that #nightshades are coming to my #garden.) #witchcraft #herbalist #wiccanlife #druid #TheCardandVine #craftfair #faeriecon #astralprojection #hedgewitch #artisan #handcrafted

I have had this #africanviolet since I was nine years old, planted with my mom during a #4H class on #plant propagation. It has survived multiple moves and the shattering of its original flower pot--thanks #homedepot for being right around the corner to save the day! It now lives at my day job desk, and it has now bloomed for the first time since its rather traumatic repotting. I think it's happy. 😍💜🌸 #nofilter #plantlove #herbalism #herbal #gardeninglife #gardening #garden #gardening2017 #houseplants #violet #bloom

There are finches that flit in this #forsythia hedge, but I didn't see any around this morning. Oh well. Wish I could curl up in the bushes and stare up at the sky through the branches all day.

My #mugwort patch is coming along! I don't know why I worried about it, since it's frankly a hardy weed in most people's yards, but I never know what'll take #inmybackyard. In the meantime, I'll be visiting @amyblackthorn's house soon to bail some mugwort hay 😋💚👍 #wildcrafting #wiccan #druid #druids #herbalist #herbalism #witchesofinstagram #flyingointment #meditation #gardening #gardeninglife #gardening2017 #witchcraft #witchy (at Bel Air South, Maryland)

First #craftfair of 2017! From now until 1 pm, so stop by and say hi! 🙌🌿❤ #fair #middleschool #fundraiser (at John Hanson Middle School)

So this #Friday, we'll tackle #lemongrass #essentialoil. Before opening my #Etsy shop, I used lemongrass in cooking--specifically a spectacular #salad with lemongrass and candied walnuts--but hadn't thought it had therapeutic properties.⠀ ⠀ #EssentialOilBlends that contain lemongrass are especially great for #natural #skincare, because the oil's properties help draw together slack skin and wrinkles. It's also a great natural #deodorant, and is included in many #incense recipes and #organic insect repellents. ⠀ ⠀ If you're looking for a clean and refreshing #fragrance, then lemongrass essential oil should be one of your top choices. Do you use lemongrass often?⠀ ⠀ #TheCardandVine #EssentialOilEducation #diffuser #essentialoils #planttherapy #youngliving #doterra #oils #diffusethis #summertime #aromatherapy #diy #oilylife #herbalism #organic #vegan

Last night, I wrapped a whole bunch of these #rosemary #lemon #showerfizzies for the #craftfair this Saturday. They smell so good, and the crumbs from the trays fizzled as I cleaned out the sink. :) I love it when stuff I makes works well. The scent eases my #tensionheadache and helps my sinuses clear from #allergies in the shower.⠀ ⠀ #bathbombs #aromatherapy #homespa #springshowers #etsyfinds #herbalism #spa #etsystore #mothersday #etsygifts #essentialoils #oilylife #wiccanlife #wiccan #lush #herbal #plantmagic #plantlove #herbalremedies #herbalist #herbnerd #herbalism #herbology #TheCardandVine

This particular #Etsyshop is one of my very best favorites of all time. Dosha at RabbitwoodAndReason.Etsy.Com actually did my #wedding #jewelry as a #custom order at a very reasonable price. (That hairpiece at the top? Yeah, that would be the hair combs that match my gown and wedding ring.)⠀ ⠀ She creates designs that you can't find anywhere else. Every single time I go out wearing any of her creations--#earrings, #necklaces, to work or on a date night--I get stopped by random strangers wanting to know where I got it from.⠀ ⠀ So, here's where I got it from, guys! For all your #Victorian and #medieval jewelry needs, head over to @RabbitwoodandReason--and tell Dosha I said hi!

A new batch of lemon and rosemary #showerfizzies hardening up! Smells so good in the house. 🍋🚿🌿 #bathbomb #bathtime #Etsy #etsysellersofinstagram #aromatherapy #essentialoils (at Bel Air South, Maryland)
