From the Delightful Book ‘Snips and Snails and Walnuts and Whales’ by Phyllis Fiarotta. (My Great Aunt was called Phyllis. And I’m Philippa… and my Sister in Law is Phillipa… and her Aunt is Phillipa… That’s a lot of Philling.. don’t you think?)
I love the little intro Phyllis has written – about not finding many people wearing leaves and flowers in their hair in YOUR neighbourhood. We all know that she’s not talking about Fitzroy – because I think flowers and leaves are the least of hair ardornments in this neck of the woods.
Things I Have Seen In People’s Hair In Fitzroy
- Pencils
- Beetle Hair Clips
- Nits
- Rubber Bands
- Knitting Needles
- A Rat
- Money
- A Whistle
I hope the weather in your parts is conducive to a Daisy Chain workshop today! The daisies are soggy where I come from!
