Anything you couldn’t explain was magic then.

It’s easy to believe in magic when you’re young.  Anything you couldn’t explain was magic then.  It didn’t matter if it was science or a fairy tale.  Electricity and elves were both infinitely mysterious and equally possible – elves probably … Continue reading 

Be gracious especially when your computer crashes.

For the past week things around the house have been crazy. There are times when energies build up and all of a sudden everything seems to go wrong. But do they go wrong or is our perception gone askew. When it happens all at once you may feel the universe is conspiring against you. Maybe you believe you are experiencing a run of bad luck. In the past I would have agreed until I realized just recently nothing ever happens to you that you can not make into a positive. This is not about faith and religion; it is about knowing. I know there are fairies among us just as there are angels, spirits and guides both animal and ancestral. They assist you when you need help and show you the truth when you ask. It is a subject most people ignore because they are afraid of being labeled crazy or a new age fanatic. So why do I know these things are real. Simply because I have seen them myself. After this past week I now do not question the positive lessons in everything that has gone right, not wrong.

It started with my computer crashing, a fatal crash. It was acting up again and just as I was attempting to restore the system I lost power just for a minute but at a crucial point. I tried to get the system back up but it was beyond my capabilities. So I found someone close by and took the computer there to hopefully be fixed. It turned out to be a neighbor. He did what he could, added some things, saved my files and gave me some great advise. I am grateful my guides helped me find him. Just before calling him I had spent an hour or so looking for any info or discs that would have come with the computer to help my dilemma and had torn apart the house only to not find anything for this computer, old one yes. I finally gave up  my search and stopped. I sat down quietly surrounded in the chaos and asked for help. It was Spirit or maybe the fairies or guides that guided me to get the help from a neighbor. No longer seeing the situation as a problem and found the blessing in this experience, I met a wonderful person and my computer is working better than ever with all my files saved. The next day I received an order covering my cost and more. This is happening all the time not getting money but answers and I know it is because I have changed my perception. Yes I tore apart my house but now I am reorganizing it and the energy in the house is flowing.

Years and not an easy ones brings me to this realization. You can read all the books and watch all the videos and attend all the seminars but until the switch is turned on you are only a believer. When things start making sense is when you know it is so. Words are not enough but you know the feeling when you arrive. Gratitude joy happiness even when your computer crashes.

 

Opened Between The Weeds Boutique.

I have opened a new boutique for Between The Weeds. For now it is a showcase for my mystical woodland fairy houses. I am hoping this boutique showcasing my woodland fairy houses will lead to a broader client base, people who believe in fairies as I do. These mystical abodes are very magical. They take hours to build. The pleasure I get from the finished sculpted artwork is immense. It is my joy and passion to explore the realm of unseen imagined beings.

As a spiritual being living within a corporeal body it is my imagination that allows me to see and experience the realm of fairies and earths magical energies.  Maybe it is just a thought in my imagination or is it reality because I believe it to be real. Until recently science and spirituality were worlds apart in theory, now scientist understand quantum relationships between energy fields. So why can not my fairy houses have fairies living inside? Could they just be existing in another energy field, a realm outside our reality, but are more advanced in their thinking so they and others can visit back and forth at will. Or is it a realm which was always there but we chose to forget how to reach? It is something you have to decide for yourself.

If you believe as I do then my fairy houses will absolutely delight your fairies that I know come to visit you and yourself. Please come and visit my new boutique at Between The Weeds.

Great gift idea for woodland weddings.

bed woodland fairy house

Bed before added to fairy house.

Briar, head fairy at Between The Weeds,  is busy at her drafting table with plans for some of her newlywed friends. It is a lot of fun having someone so energetic assisting me in the fairy shop these days. This is one of the newly constructed woodland fairy house wedding cottages in my fairy shop at BetweenTheWeeds. What I like the most about this woodland cottage is the detailed work on the sides and the custom fabric bed. I have added a few more photos here of this sturdy mystical tree magic fairy house.

Fairies have honeymoons too. A woodland cottage fairy house constructed by hand out of branches twigs and wood form this enchanting honeymoon cottage. Inside is a painted custom bed for two with canvas linens and a teal ribbon throw across the bottom. Next to the bed is a table from a branch. On the other side of the room is a chair and table with a clay pot hanging from the rafters for light. There is a chair at the foot of the bed and a bark floor. Moss is growing around the edges and twigs soften the one wall. Both side walls are painted a pretty shade of Indian Sky.

The outside of the house has bits and bobs of sea glass and raffia and a blank piece of wood across the front (for personalizing the house) with the name of the newlywed couple or date or just a sweet blessing to mark a special day. The back is formed with split branches and the sides are split branches moss pebbles and cones combined.

Outside measures 12″ x 11″ x 8″ roughly.
Built over a wood carcass and weighs about 4lbs.

These are my original designs and I hand craft each piece for my woodland fairy houses..

New Faerie Cottage in the Woodland Fairy House Shop.

Have you ever seen a better looking faerie cottage than this one? Briar explained to me just the other week she knew of a fairy in need of a one room cottage. Of course I had to oblige and created this woodland shabby chic style cottage. The walls are painted white and there is even a royal blue mattress on the four post bed. Honestly I wouldn’t mind one for myself. Would you like to know more about the chic fairy who lives inside and is willing to move to your location, cottage and all. Well buy the house and with it comes a tiny bio of this whimsical little faerie.

Now isn’t this a house you would like to buy? Visit my shop at BetweenTheWeeds.

The branches are nailed into place and the main carcass is glued and nailed. It is very sturdy.
