Beeswax anything has become a tradition in our household. We dip tapers, roll sheets into tapers, dip nature items, and use it in salves and wood polishes. Have I missed something? Well, as the cold creeps in with a breeze, I find myself shuffling around in house shoes, and no longer flip flops. Fleece and wool clothing begin to surface. And the aroma of beeswax keeps our souls warm.
The images and scents we display help to remind us of our own inner light, as our gaze shifts inward during fall. The place where we are warmed from the inside out. We created a Fire Fairy to put with our Nature Table. A table that is ever changing with the seasons. It includes the felt decorations sewn by me and the children, the hanging beeswax dipped items, our knitted gnome friend Sam, and his Community’s harvest. The kids and I have a story we go by every week about Sam the gnome and his forest friends. This story continues the entire year, and we act it out on our nature table. Our nature table is located on the top of a small bookcase. The bookcase contains all of our natural, wildlife, outdoors and homesteading books and magazines. Along with a bug container, some finds in nature, and a magnifying glass and binoculars. Our nature table and stories are the heart of our Circle Time together. How do you use beeswax? What does your nature table look like?
