I have sooooooo missed you all!!

I must admit...I have missed being here on Blogger....

I know that I had moved my Blog over to my website but I miss this whole community of Blogger and the friends that I have made here.

So~~~~~~~I BACK!!

I am so eager to get back into the swing of things and I have so many new and great things to show you...but where to start! How to start without either draining myself or making things so muddled that you as the reader can't make heads or tails out of what I am trying to tell you, show you or share with you!!!

So...for this my first posting as being back on Blogger....

Please drop by my Facebook page to get your name entered into my draw to win your very own Magical Faerie Door Set gift prize. This prize was put together to thank all of my family and friends of the faerie nursery on Facebook that have gotten me to the fantastic milestone of 2000th fans! I know...what an amazing number!! I can hardly believe it myself!

www.facebook.com/FaerieNursery

Now, I know...what you are all thinking...sure in that massive number of 2000...they are not ALL family or friends. No indeed they are not. In fact I bet the number is closer to 200, if even for those that either follow me or....probably closer to only 20 that actually comment and participate on my page. But you know what....out of that 2000...I have made some new friends...friends that I actually talk to, friends that make a quick comment on one of my silly postings that make me say 'thanks for being here with me'. Those friends...well, they are family.

So please, why don't you become one of those friends of the nursery....you too can enter the draw even if you don't want to participate or play along with the faeries....but you know what...just maybe once you get there and get to know us...you just might want to stay for a bit...join us for a cup of tea with cookies, or maybe you are more of the adventurous type...the ones that like spontaneous pillow fights, sorry that was to be faerie dust fights! Oh yeah...trust me they happen...and we all go home trying desperately over the next couple of days...shampooing the daylights out of hair just so when you go outside in the sunlight, you don't blind anyone with your 'radiant hair'!!

Here are the photo from the gift prize....and yes, anyone can enter....shipping is free worldwide...but as always....there is the fine print...****Please note: Faerie Doors and associated products are meant as collector items ONLY. THEY ARE NOT TOYS. Please keep out of reach of small children, as the mall parts are a potential choking hazard.****...WOW, I'm glad I got that out of my system.

There are three questions that need to be answered. Hmmm well actually one action and two questions! But guess what? What you say? I have made it super easy. I wrote the answers down right above the Rafflecopter appellation form! I KNOW!! Silly ole me, but that's my way of saying...come on, you can enter too!

Just look at that Magical Mini Faerie Door and all of those fun miniatures for you to share with your Faerie!! So please, drop on by our Facebook page...become a friend of the nursery and enter your name into the draw.

I am just sooooo happy to be back with Blogger....please stay tuned for more exciting things to come!

Welcome and Introductions ~~ Facebook

2014 - Facebook

So I have always tried my best to welcome everyone personally to the nursery, I know that between trying to keep track between doing updates on the iPhone, iPad and the Mac and now finding out that the Facebook 'like' counter includes not only 'individuals' but that there is a drop down box that shows 'pages' that like you too! Now this particular option is not available on my iPhone or if it is my screen is just too tiny for me to even want to see that small arrow for a drop down box. So this is me, Faerie Amma, welcoming everyone that I have missed to my Faerie Nursery.

I don't ever try to sell anything to anyone here, even though all of my e-commerce sites tell me that that I am supposed to be using my Facebook business page as a selling tool. I am here to interact with you, to show you sparkly things, to tell you silly stories, to let you know what mischief my faeries have been getting up to, what I have bought now! All those kind of good types of things...not being pushy and saying buy this, buy this...sure....I know in the end....that I am a business...but I guess that I am just not that good at that part of the business end....oops! But by all means..if you are interested...all of my products are available through my website .... there...did I satisfy what I'm supposed to do...will they get off my back now!! Back to the fun stuff :)

I have a wonderful helper...her name here if Pixie Sapphire or you can call her Brenda..but she's not supposed to answer to that name on here! Are you Brenda...oops I mean Pixie Sapphire. Umm..okay, so I started getting a bit overwhelmed...I know, you mean me! No, never me...so I gave up just a little bit of control. Okay...everybody. Stop. It's okay. Just breath. Relax....Now close your eyes for just a few seconds...Did you see pretty sequins?...Were they pink? Were they orange? Oh no!....If you said they were green, go back, close your eyes again.... Okay, open them.... What colour were they this time...Pink? Orange? There we go, we are all on the same page again...That was close!! Okay..so Pixie Sapphire has full Admin rights to the Facebook business page and she helps me with a few postings now and then. Did you see the photo album just a couple of days ago...the one where I went shopping AGAIN! She did that! Yuppers....she did. Now all of her work, she will sign Pixie Sapphire. I don't want anyone to think that I have left the country, that I am doing my hair, or that I have been superglued to the table and hubby dearest is trying to figure away to get me undone! Okay..think we are all clear on this topic...okay..I know a few of you still have your eyes closed...OPEN them now.....silly silly silly.....

I have two wonderful Faeries that help me in the field so to speak....Faeries Georgina and Malinda (okay....oops...that kinda gave their names away as that is their real names but ummm oh well). These Faeries are my life line here....they are my Sparkle Tattoo sparkly glittery experts....plus they never stop smiling! Thanks ladies :)

Then there is the hubby...well, okay, he is well, he is everything. There really wouldn't be a faerie nursery if there wasn't the hubby. 'Nough said 'bout that as he knows that he is my everything but he also doesn't like to be in the centre of attention (note.....that is why I put him nearer the end of the introductions and the centre..huh huh huh...great thinkin'   I know!! I know!!).

And me, well I am Faerie Amma...and when I don't have my make-up on, well then, I am Emmanuelle, the artist/owner of the Enchanted Pathways Faerie Nursery. And this is my little faerie nursery getaway. I am surrounded by twinkling lights, hanging vines and flowers, crocheted hummingbirds, pretty pictures of faeries, tiny trinkets that I have collected throughout my whole lifetime, children's books I bought just for me, little rocks I have picked and stored away in pockets since I was little and tons of supplies to keep me busy for a lifetime. I owe who I am to my family and friends...but most of all, I just want to be like Peter Pan and to never grow-up so I can play with my children, Matthew & Brandi and my grandchildren Rebecca, Dominic and Stephen Jr.

Won't you come and play with us too?

Faerie Introduction...

As this is a VERY northern faerie nursery, located just above the 60th parallel...a new line of faeries are being introduced.

Living in the land of the Midnight Sun and then having the most amazing Aurora Borealis (northern lights) ever....the inspiration of having faeries that represented these two awe astounding wonders of nature that only happen in either the northern or southern hemispheres was just bound to happen.

Soooooo without further adieu coming soon to my website, I would like to introduce to you.....

The Aurora & Midnight Sun Faeries  

These faeries stand approximately 5.5" in height and their ballerina styled dresses can measure anywhere from 4-5" in width. The dresses resemble both the Midnight Sun and the Aurora Borealis in nature. Each faerie comes standing on a hickory slice that has been branded with the company icon, titled and has been numbered for collecting purposes. No two faeries will look alike as they are each made from hand here in the faerie nursery. They will come with their own numbered papers and will be packaged carefully from the nursery to your home. Please join me in welcoming these new faeries to the nursery.

Website Changes

I have decided to try to make my blog the 'hub' for anything and everything Fae.

You will notice that there are two new tabs located on the top menu bar ~~ NEWS and FAE

NEWS ~ will be updated as I find interesting and cool news items to share. Please feel free to share any news items that you find.

FAE ~ Faeries and Elementals -- this will become an encyclopaedia of the world of Fae. You are welcome to submit your definitions and upon approval each entry will be given full author credits.

I hope you enjoy my new features  :)

PWK Fall Fair & Tea

What a wonderful turnout today. It was so nice seeing returning customers and meeting new ones :)

First of all....a MASSIVE thank you to Georgina for sitting with me today. You made the day perfect.

Second of all....a MASSIVE thank you to my hubby for his help both in the nursery and today (plus having to live me....deserves a wee bit of a mention as well).

After living here now for 2 1/2 years it's amazing how many people I either knew or have seen before (being such the caterpillar type of gal I have become {not so much a social butterfly anymore}) that walked through the doors.

The Faeries were all behaved sitting in the new tree branches and on their platforms on the table. The Seed Pod Babies were happy in their new platter (note to self, Georgina always imagines them swimming, so I think I will pick up some tiny blue marbles or something that they can sit on to give the illusion of floating). The cases for the miniatures worked perfectly and everyone was able to see them and we didn't have to worry about wee little fingers getting ahold of anything (legally, a very important note). I will say though, that the hit of the afternoon was our new line....the Faerie Princes! Everyone had to pick one up and check them out.

We had put out a copy of the new catalogue and people were so impressed with it. Even got a few asking if they could purchase one. As this thought did not quite enter my mind when ordering them, I will make a mental note for next year to perhaps print off a few that can be made available for sale.

A big shout-out goes to Meagan at the Northern Journal for the story she did about me and my little company for Small Business Week in our local newspaper. I must have had a least a dozen people recognize either me or my company name and state that they had read about me and wanted to learn more.

Georgina organized a secret draw for anyone that purchased an item. She even punched out little 3D faerie figures on the ballots for me!! Congratulations Jennifer Hudson, I will be calling you shortly and making arrangements for delivery :)
