About —of rosemary and time
—of rosemary and time is an anthology of unfiltered reflections around the mess + magic of imperfect motherhood, creative living, and reconnecting with Mother Nature. Hand-scribbled between rural Italy and the UK countryside, —of rosemary and time is an exercise in noticing quiet beauty, embracing slow living, and practicing the art of distilling magic from the mundane everyday.
Why is it called — of rosemary and time?
The name is inspired by a line from an old folk song, “Scarborough Fair” — parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. A lifelong childhood favourite of mine, it somehow became the theme song of my motherhood experience when I began humming it to myself and making up new rhymes while pregnant with my first daughter. The enchanting melody and the whimsical references to fairylands and garden herbs of this lullaby charm my baby girl into sweet dreams to this day. And for me, it remains a gentle reminder to cherish every ephemeral moment and an invitation to soften, lean into nature, and believe in magic.
