in the spirit of the holiday, the wandering herbalist will be at the "puppy love" show at willow this thursday night, february 11th. a percentage of all sales made during "puppy love" will be donated to chicago canine rescue, a favorite local shelter. it's the perfect time to shop from your heart, for your love!
here's how you will make your own doggy voodoo doll:
choose your dog... all the fabric is re-purposed, usually from shirts purchased at goodwill or the salvation army...
then choose your "voodoo"... here are a few options i'll have... clockwise, starting from the top left:
calendula- to bless a departed soul (good for someone who recently lost a pet).
rose- for love... lots and lots of love!
comfrey- for safety during travel (perfect for a pooch who is stuck in cargo on a plane).
hawthorne (berries)- gets love flowing (for crabby dogs or dog owners)!
nettles- for adaptability and to be able to flourish where needed and loved (perfect for a foster dog who is moving on to a permanent home).
meadowsweet- for love spells! fun! also to cheer the heart.
you can also add a sweet, personalized note...
then we'll add the herbs/note/both, and sew it up...
and there you go... that voodoo that you do so (sew) well!
"puppy love" happens at willow on thursday, february 11th from 6 to 9 p.m.. there will be trunk shows featuring local accessory designers, my doggy DIY craft, a silent auction, wine and beer, and all-around fun and frivolity. *ummm... have you met amy- the owner of willow- yet? she's nothing but crazy fun!!*
