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.

Can be placed inside or out. Outside it will last for about 1 to 2 years and in for a little girls lifetime. I like to spritz my houses to keep the moss supple. It is not preserved and has no chemicals and if in the right environment has been known to start growing.

Measures: 10″ x 12″ x 8″h. and weighs about 4lbs.

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

Woodland Fairy Houses

Fairy Terrarium with chair.

Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.
~William Butler Yeats, “The Stolen Child

I have just finished another little fairy house ready to be furnished for the woodland fairies that are sharing my home. I can not wait for them to pick out the furniture. They have taken up residence in my living room and the racket they are making. I finally had to lay down some rules and restricted them to the living room for the evenings, they taunted poor Tucker with all their shenanigans.  All night long, giggles and music float on the air up into my bedroom. At first it was fun to hear the whispers and to see a flash of light as they shimmered from their realm into mine. I know once they are settled in their new woodland fairy house things will settle back down to normal. Well my normal at least.

Check back and see the completed house and maybe the fairies will allow their pictures to be taken too.
