Turning Green on a Teacup

spinning around on a porcelain teacup (disclaimer .. please do not spin too quickly, as i cannot be responsible for faces turning GREEN). 

squishing your barefoot toes in the grass (disclaimer .. please do not do squish after freshly mowed, as i cannot be responsible for faces turning GREEN). 

climbing on tree branches to reach the highest apple (disclaimer .. please do not eat the fruit that has fallen on the ground, as i cannot not be responsible for faces turning GREEN .  

smelling the pretty coloured flowers (disclaimer .. please do not touch your nose to the petals, as i cannot be responsible for faces turning GREEN).

wishing for an ice cream snack (disclaimer .. please do not eat the coloured dots on a mushroom, as i cannot be responsible for faces turning GREEN).

catching a butterfly in a net (disclaimer .. please do not try to ride on the wings, as i cannot be responsible for faces turning GREEN).

taking off your socks (disclaimer .. please do not smell, as i cannot be responsible for faces turning GREEN).

nibbling on fresh pea pods (disclaimer .. please do not mistake for lima beans, as i cannot be responsible for faces turning GREEN).

cleaning off after a nice warm bath (disclaimer .. please do not mistake cotton for a fern, as i cannot be responsible for faces turning GREEN). 

and after a very long day of playing and your eyes cannot stay open any longer ..

turning down the covers to dream (disclaimer .. please do not nudge the chameleon sleeping in the middle of the bed ...AS THEY ACTUALLY WILL TURN YOU GREEN).

now wouldn't it be fun to live on a teacup!!

What are those? They couldn't be??

When out and about with Faerie Amma last week she came across these....what do you think? Could these really be dragon scales? Are there more than just faeries living this far north??

Carol & Donnetta's Faerie Seed Pod Babies

Last weekend the nursery was visited by Carol and Donnetta. They were served warmed apple juice spiced with cinnamon sticks, given fuzzy slippers to wear and fresh chocolate chip cookies.

Their original intent, I do believe, was to just come on by and see the nursery. But thankfully they stayed for more :)

Here are the little seed pod babies they made.....

Carol was busy making her faeries for her girlfriends Mollie, Valerie, Dianne, Carol and Andrea. She made one for herself too :)

This little cutie was made by Donnetta (mind you she did help Carol out her batch...and might I add, she sure got the wire wrapping down pat!!)

Thank you ladies for dropping by, I had a wonderful visit with you both.

Teacup Nurseries

Well I attempted my first Teacup Nursery today and there were many lessons learned.

1. Need to learn how to eyeball the amount of floral foam that it takes to fill a teacup!
2. Loose moss goes everywhere!
3. Need things to add to the nursery!

Things I have bought today for the nurseries:

1. More houses.
2. More moss.
3. Railroad moss.
4. Mulberry flowers.
5. Butterflies.
6. Polymer flowers.
7. Polymer faeries.
8. Railroad trees.

These were definitely fun and easy. Definitely need to do a few things differently the next time around that's for sure. The moss needs to be adhered somehow. Thinking that I will pre-glue it onto a piece of regular copy paper that way all the wires for the decorations can easily poke through it. I would like to have different critters then just bunnies but at the moment can't think what else? Can't wait to see the little faeries. Depending on how they look will completely change the look as I will no longer be adding the little houses and it will just be a wee little faerie in a flower garden (technically still a nursery though).

Town Office Shadow Box

Firstly...THANK YOU to Debora for her ideas, vision and help. There is no way that I could have done this without her.

Tomorrow we will be taking down our shadow box to be placed in the town offices' front lobby display area. I was the first one to respond to their 'Call for Artisans' to display your local art work in one of their cabinets. This will be a great opportunity for the Faerie Nursery to have our products shown locally and free of charge for 6 months.

I hope you enjoy the pictures and all of the hard work that went into it. We still have to design a banner to go across the front of it that will say Enchanted Pathways Faerie Nursery - Petal Faerie, Wooden Doors and Trinket Chests.

All of the moss, tree branches and tree mushrooms are local fauna that we have found on our little walks with the puppy dogs. The table is actually a dried mushroom positioned upside down.

We decided that Sapphire would be the best little faerie to represent the Nursery. She not only is the town's new marketing colours but in all of her glitz and glamour she loves to organize all the events that happen in the garden. With her in control you can always be guaranteed that everything is in its place and ready on time. So we are positive that she will take great care of the shadow box while at the town office.

Success!!

The guardians at the faerie nursery today were out and about in the woods today. 

Not only was it a wonderful, sunny spring day but we found faerie pods!! 

Some were pretty disguised in with the local flora and fauna but when you 

know what you are looking they seem a bit easier to find. 

After an hour or so we were able to bring back to nursery about 20 seed pods. 

We will let these pods dry out so the wee little faerie babies have nice new beds. 

We even had help from Fionn (Jack Russell) and Ciaran, both being very helpful on the hunt. 

 

Twins!!

The nursery has been blessed with a set of twin petal faerie babies. There are now 12 extra little faeries that need to be taken care of by the Enchanted Pathways Faerie Nursery staff.

Sure hope the adoption papers get here soon so the little faeries can be placed into loving homes.
