Gathering wood for fairy houses.

"Fairies' Banquet" (1859) by John An...

I truly dislike wind. It always makes me feel anxious. In the midst of severe summer thunderstorms strong wind has been a daily occurrence. The blessing is the wind knocks down these wonderful lichen riddled limbs from the huge Beechwood and Oak trees. I often wonder what people might think about this crazy woman dragging these limbs home. In my mind they are precious gifts from Mother Earth Spirit and with every storm there is always a gift waiting for you. A rainbow, a cool breeze, the smell of crisp cleaned air, water to feed the plants and animals and my tree limbs. This morning I found a beautiful twisted branch that I am excited to work into a fairy house.

I have neglected my fairy friends and I am back working in the shop cutting and creating my woodland houses for fairies and magical beings. It is time to settle in and believe again. Stay tune to catch the first added to the shop at LRStudio

Hang a painted pot in gratitude.

In this world of ours we forget to say thank you to all the friends we can not see but are still very much there making nature come alive. So when I saw this picture on Martha Stewart I thought about my fairy friends and wouldn’t they love these painted pots.

I love the way they hang on the wall but I think I would prefer pots that cascade down the porch post or along the rail of the deck or in my case I am going to attach pots to boards and run them vertically for a living screen on my covered deck. I know my little wrens will find them very tantalizing and probably build a nest in one or two. Oh wouldn’t that be nice.

Fairies are wonderful to have around the house and they help me with things all the time. Just this week the town was replacing water valves and I was told my water line had a problem. I knew if I asked the right questions and stayed calm I would find the truth. Instead of allowing the situation to get anxious and upsetting I sat down quietly on my back covered deck and asked for help. My help came in two-fold first the fairies protected my water and the line and the Divine Mother sent me a wonderful gentleman plumber who set my concerns to rest. My water is flowing clean and fresh and I am grateful to my friends, all of them.
