Today I am absolutely delighted to be welcoming the lovely Kelly, creator of Happy Whimsical Hearts, to the blog. Today Kelly is sharing some thoughts about Waldorf, a philosophy which has fascinated me for a long time. I adore the handmade toys, the emphasis placed on nature and the changing seasons, and the calm, gentle rhythm of the Waldorf lifestyle. I’ve learnt so much from reading Happy Whimsical Hearts, and I’m beyond happy that Kelly is here today. Thank you Kelly!

Autumn to Winter…

Immersing ourselves in the feeling of each season…
The sense of excited expectation as we observe life bursting forth during Spring…
The heavy heat of Summer and the splash of cooling water

Crunching leaves and drawing in the earthy scent of Autumn
And embracing Winter’s chilly freshness
