I saw a similar recipe for a spring wand, You placed the ingredients in nylon net and then wrapped it around a budding branch of yellow birch ( fresh cut!0
Gonna miss these enchantments of yours, can i say yes to a new portal of magic? :)
the closest I can get is to buy myself a bunch of sweet smelling daffodil, which I love and know that spring will be here soon.
pxx.
PS I agree with sorrow about another portal.
I can nearly smell it !!! Lovely !!!!

Oooo could use a little springtime here.
Gloomy and cold outside today.
I admit, your talk of spring is making me itch to go out and play and to fill vases with bouquets of bright flowers.
Today it will have to be painting of flowers with my feet in the fire and the princess cinnamon at my side. Snow is on the way ::sigh:: It is an inside day.
=^..^= love, diamond heart-daisy
(and the princess cinnamon)
