Once upon a time, there lived a girl in the forest. She spent her days in a small cottage nestled among the trees, writing the fairytale story of her life online. Hello, I'm Ariel, and this is where I post all my potions, crafts and charms....

I love to work with natural materials found in the forest, hemp, wood glue, buttons, felt, herbs, acorns, pinecones, paper, dollhouse furniture, glitter, leaves, emeralds and more...

My favorite thing to make is granola- the hippie's version of kandi and trade it with my friends of the forest. I hope you'll make some too! Please read my storyblog, The Forest at secretsoftheforest.com
