a gift never forgotten

International Faerie Day -- June 24, 2015

a gift never forgotten

an awakening of the soul

an introduction of the daydream

an remembrance of the time ago

a gift never forgotten

Patricia
for flowers that play in the moonlight
for sashays with the bumblebees
for lullabies that float in the warm breeze
for whistling to the dance of the northern lights
for holding my hand in timeless tomorrows
for powdering my eyelashes with faerie dust
in loving memory

Perfection!

The life of a butterfly, 

Oh what I wouldn't do to live in her garden.

"'Just living is not enough',

said the butterfly,

'one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.'"

An Instant Connection?

It is always and amazing feeling when someone has gone through hundreds of pages and though thousands of listings...and here they stumble onto not one but two of your wee faerie items and picked them to be shared through a treasury of theirs!

I would like to thank Blue Rose Dreamer for featuring our wee Magical Faerie Door and Petra of the Northern Line of Faeries in their Magic Treasury.

On top of all of that....I have read her Handmade Artists profile and you know what....except for me not knowing what Downtown Abbey is...and that I have unfortunately never been to a Renaissance Faire before but have a dreamed of going to one, well for most of my life...I feel that we could just sit down for hours and well take about everything we have in common. And trust me it would take more than not just one cup of tea...but possibly even a few pots!!

Thank you so much Blue Rose Dreamer....

Please do drop by and check our her Magic Treasury...and well, now that you are there...do drop by her Handmade Artists Shop as well...and well...be prepared to be awed and be ready to fall in love!

Blog Background...

After too many to count tries....I absolutely LOVE my new blog background from Schonee. It is like the icing on the cake...the best part :)

A Care Package from Home??

I have been trying to decide if I can really call this parcel a 'care package from home' as isn't the definition of home....like from your Mom?? Well this parcel today came from my beautiful daughter and her family.

All the great goodies in there were a wonderful surprise. I received chocolates of all sorts...including a container of After 8 sticks which I might add are already in my tummy :)   A superb selection of hot chocolates including some weird tube of 'stuff' from Second Cup called 'frrrrozen hot chocolate'. Now I must admit I am a wee bit curious on this one but Brandi says I will fall in love with it. But for now, I chose to have a cup of hot chocolate flavoured french vanilla and chocolate in the mug I bought myself just the other day. It is like she knew I had a new mug.......

Also in my box were 13 of my wooden trinket chests. I was a bit surprised though that these ones are bit smaller then the ones I normally purchase through the same store?? Either I will have to learn how to pack all the miniatures in a bit better or I am thinking that these ones will work perfectly for the smaller the doors and my other chests will be used for the larger doors. Thinking business like....shouldn't that be the way it is?? I won't compromise the 'idea' of the trinket chest but I will put in a few of the smaller things instead of the larger trinkets. Yes....good thinking :)

And she also sent me up my bestest and most favourite paint brushes. Now yes, these brushes come from 'Dollarama' but they are the only ones that I love to use. Not only are they the most coolest looking paint brushes I have ever scene...but they paint really well too!!

And some of the prettiest stick-on butterflies ever!!

And finally....we come to the best part of the whole package....my 23 bottles of paint picked out by my granddaughter Rebecca who will be 2 in September. I am going to put a big 'R' on each of the lids so that when I go to use a bottle of paint and I happen to pick one that she personally took off the shelf for me....I will smile and all of the wee little faeries in the nursery will smile along with me. Thank you Rebecca :)

Meet Sharin - Mascot for Enchanted Pathways

This wee little faerie was given to me from a lady in San Francisco. She sent me a note that went something like this....

"is the little gal settled in with you? she lived with me for about 20 years.....when you connected with me the second time - she said she wanted to go to the Fort Smith Fairy Clan - and off she went!"


To have a stranger share such a precious gift shows me that people do believe. They believe not only in faeries but also in generosity, love and compassion. In return I have made a Petal Faerie for Sharin out of the flower petals I had purchased from her. I hope that my little faerie will bring her as much happiness as her faerie has brought me.
