Fairy Pranks.

 

 

Bucket-headed dog

This past week I made a life changing decision. The decision is not the purpose for writing, it is what happened after I decided. I guess you would say I am a bit of an eccentric thinking person. I mean after all I talk to fairies. I also talk to inanimate objects (they don’t talk back, happily) and animals are drawn to me.  Nature and I are one. People talk about angels and spirit guides, how to connect. I feel if you can not connect to the basic elements or other living energies also occupying our world, how can you be one with your angels and guides.  Is it possible?

Back to fairy pranks, if you have followed my writing you may remember me saying the fairies hid my bucket. I spent (I better not say how long) a considerable amount of time looking for my bucket. No reason but I wanted to make sure it was handy because soon I would be needing it. Some time had passed and I thought enough. I want my bucket and I want it now. This is where some one might think me eccentric but I stood in the middle of my living room and plainly told Briar(my fairy friend) she needed to tell her friends to return my bucket. I needed to start making my recent decision into reality and my bucket is part of that, so if you please. Within the hour I went into the kitchen and right there under my sink was my bucket, complete with brush and rag waiting for me to use. I said a heart-felt thank you. I picked up the bucket and filled it with water and soap and off I went.Elsie Wright with a fairy

Since then more things are showing up, such as two computer discs I have needed for months and a book I thought I had lost in one of many moves. Now I can not place this all at the feet of Briar because Briar is one of many beings that surrounds my life.  I am quite certain fairies work with angels and guides and many times fairies do not get the credit for work they are responsible for bringing about, this goes to angels guides or spirits. Just as there are many different types of species here, there are many beings from different realms and dimensions also, some around us. Some playing pranks and some are just outright grumpy. For myself I will keep believing and talking to things I know are there even if I can not see them except as wisps of light or maybe as a stranger that suddenly appears in my darkest hours.

Bring fairies into your life with a fairy house.

Woodland Fairy House

Newest Fairy House at BetweenTheWeeds Shop

I love to create fairy houses. Why? Because I know fairies exist. Fairies were once easily seen and the veil between our realms was translucent.  Now only a few are honored by the presence of fairies but we all can if we would let them in. Fairies are angelic helpers so to speak. They are here to assists our spiritual sides. My fairy is known to me as Briar Goblinwitch. She comes to me in my dreams and loves to help me on my path. She and her friends also love to tease me. At the moment they have hidden a bucket but in time it will show up.
Maybe you would like to develop a relationship with a fairy or a fairy clan? I can definitely tell you when you place a fairy house in your home or in a garden it is the first step to having magic come into your life.
This is one of the newest little fairy house I have in the shop at Between The Weeds.A little bit of a wee woodland house but has so much great energy. I love the stone I painted of a Dog-Tooth Violet on the side. The woodland fairy hose is ready for your own little touches and maybe you inner child’ imagination.

Feeling stressed? Fairies will help.

Fairy – "Take the Fair Face of Woman"...

Think of fairies as Angelic Little Helpers because they are just that and all you need to do is ask. It is why a adore fairies. They are always eager to help and are the go to beings when you are feeling stressed and drained of energy. It is very simple. Get your tired weary body outside preferably under a tree with your back resting up against the tree. You can meditate, think or speak what is on your mind or write down what is bothering you. Be sincere with your words thoughts and request. If you are fortunate you may see the fairy that is taking care of your request. Depending upon what it is either a faery may take it to one of your spiritual guides or angel. I always feel lighter.  So what is stopping you from asking the FAERIES to take away your stress!

Some more little tips to help cleanse your body and spirit.

Take a sea salt bath.  Love more often! Meditate on acceptance!

Painted Cottage Box As Seen In Smurf Movie.

Maybe you read the post about my boxes being used in the Smurfs Movie. Well thanks to another Etsy shop owner who also featured her box I have a photo of my box as seen on-screen. The first shot shows her lovely box and just in front of hers is mine (Notice the arrows).

Painted Cottage Box by Laurie Rohner for Between The Weeds.

The second is a scene with my other box up on the bureau in the back.  I have marked an arrow pointing to the box.

Painted Box have one custom-made for you at Between The Weeds.

I have worked on my painted Cottage Farmhouse Garden Boxes and you can see them in my etsy shop at Between The Weeds. I think they are beautiful birthday gifts or wedding gifts. As you can see no two are ever alike because I draw by hand the design and then hand paint each floral design. Imagine a crafted box made by my hand and then hand painted and finished all for under $100. You are giving someone a treasure to remember you by, a fantastic keepsake.

Fairy House Story

Today how about finding out a few secrets about my fairy houses. First they are created from the magic of nature fairies and Spirit. My hands and eyes are merely the vehicle used to bring them into this earthly realm. What I receive is joy while creating some very unique whimsical enchanted houses. I have them tucked around the house in safe keeping until they are needed by a fairy elsewhere. I know full well when Spirit is ready for them to go they will bring absolute joy to the new magical beings. But until then I create.

Fairy House Bits and Bobs

When I start creating a fairy house I build a frame made from wood, pine cedar poplar whatever I have in the shop. That is my contribution. From this point on the magic takes over and the creation takes place. I cut pieces of cedar siding branches and twigs and start to glue nail and fit them into place. Next I will tear apart pine cones and flatten bark that has been pulled from fallen branches that I discover on walks with Tuck. Moss shells and pebbles are glued in and the house starts to form its own personality.

Woodland Garden Fairy House Cottage

Building the fairy houses is a loving creative process but it takes hours to create one house. Each house is decorated also with fairy furniture. Some is chic and elaborate and some very whimsical and woodland. The interior is unique to that house and of course one of a kind.

Nighttime journey inspired by angelic beings and fairies.

Have you ever experienced in your life a sensation that makes all your hairs stand up as if the air is charged? Thoughts become heightened and your gut or heart center is screaming as loud as it can, listen we have a message for you. Very recently I noticed things around me, little lights, and at night there were bumps and bangs that I could not explain. Nighttime does not spook me so bumps and bangs I usually think is the house settling or an animal outside.  But then came four nights ago, I was climbing into bed and very quickly from my left side was a white wisp shaped about the size of a person’s head and as I turned to see what it was it vanished. What I saw was this mist move quickly into nothing as if there was an invisible door and it was going through it. The image was only about two feet away from me so I felt a little unnerved. That night I experienced vivid dreams where I was living among fairies and angelic beings and ancestors I knew but never met. It was a pastoral light filled place and magic very much present. Old magic the kind that comes from nature and energy lay lines. I felt an overwhelming sense of love, creativity and bliss. There was no urgency and there was no real form but I knew what the forms were around me. Then time caught up and my journey ended.

I did not remember right away what had transpired during the nighttime journey because my brain and ego had to digest and filter. I now understand it was an angelic being who came that evening to prepare the way for me to take this needed journey into their realm. I was shown why it is important for me to stay with the path I am on. It is my purpose to create. To look at the world with different eyes then most and to feel what it is I feel. There is a specialness about this higher self being named Laurie. Maybe you can see that and you agree but if you do not I am perfectly content with knowing that also. My creative work is my spiritual self and Spirit working through this earthly body. I am the observer and my work is what I experience as the observer.  It is the magical dance between the realms and it is the world I live which is between the weeds, where fairies and angelic beings live.

I had forgotten the joy my work gave me and became overwhelmed with creating to make money. This is not the higher self, your heart center, or your purpose. It is ego. After this journey I have discovered what it was about my work that made it unique to me. My designs are polished upscale and contemporary but have a comfortable feel like a cashmere throw has on a cold blustery night. I also love boxes and small cabinets. My work is moving towards building oodles of cottage farmhouse boxes and cabinets with my garden woodland delicate designs. Even my fairy friend Briar is thrilled because there is nothing that excites the fairies more than flowers. She still wants me to focus on some more fairy houses too.

This is one of the new boxes I have created since the nighttime journey.

Fairy Wish Hand-Painted Heart Pillow is enchanted with fairy magic and a simple inspiring word ‘grow’. The pillows are hand sewn and slightly stuffed, made of cotton canvas painted with acrylic paints and ink and heat sealed. Attached is a natural wool heavy yarn. This pillow the fairies picked spring fresh colors of pinks blues lavenders and sage green ( that matches the wool). On the back of this pillow is a field thistle.

Size of pillow: 9″l x 5.5″w x 1.5″d.

Though the fairies inspired the making of these new pillows the style is influenced by my love of farmhouse cottage chic. Hang the pillow on a door knob or nail or the knob of a dresser to remind you to keep growing. Age should never stop anyone from remembering to grow.
