Summer Solstice Floral Crown

If you want to celebrate the Summer Solstice with natures beauty, there's no better way than a "do it yourself" floral crown, here's how: 

What you need:

A variety of fresh flowers, trimmed them down to 3-inch stems

2 pieces of 16-gauge floral cloth wire

Green floral tape

Floral sheers would be great, but you can use good scissors.

Now bend the two pieces of floral wire together and make a circle that will fit the intended head.

Then use tape to wrap the overlapping sections to create a base for the crown. 

Design 15 small clusters of 4-5 flowers and wrap the stems together tight with floral tape. 

Position flower clusters to the wire base  and wrap tape around the stems so they hold on.

Continue layering each cluster around the wire base until it’s filled.

As The Wheel Turns - The Summer Solstice

The Summer Soltice is on the way.

The gardens are beautiful, and summer is almost here.

There are picnics, the hiking, walking in the park, swimming, the barbeques, the joys of Midsummer.

Litha, the summer solstice Sabbat honors the longest day of the year. 

There are many different ways you can celebrate Litha, but whatever celebration we choose, the focus all about the sun. 

Because of the sun, the crops are growing and we can watch nature bask in the long sunny days as we enjoying the outdoors, spending more time with nature.

Midsummer marks the beginning of the Sun's dying strength before beginning its slide into darkness and we experience the longest day and shortest night of the year.

Welcome May

The month of May was named after the Greek goddess Maia, who was associated with spring and growth.
