Fairy Friday: Faith, Trust & a little Pixie Dust

People sometimes ask me why do dreams not come true? Mostly I’d say it comes from not believing that they truly CAN! All you need is belief in yourself and anything is possible… and a little pixie dust never hurt anybody!

So have a little faith in yourself. Love,

The Truth About Pixie Dust

I’ll tell you a secret, for those that can hear. You know all that pixie dust that humans hold so dear? I have to confess, not to spoil your fun, but I must admit the dust is mere mess. When cleaning day arrives you will see, the tiny fairies dust their homes. The dust that falls through the week is collected and saved. There is just so much magic fluttering around them all the time that it gathers atop their tiny dressers and tables.

Its really the ultimate way of recycling, because from good spells come more good spells.

Look at all this positively precious pixie dust! Its just the right size for a little fairy princess!

Snow fell in the night

Good morning snow! Its a wet day here in the Enchanted Forest. All the fairies are throwing teeny snowballs and shaking out their wings.

Fairy Friday: Fairy Crystals

Fairies love collecting small treasures from the earth. Especially tiny crystals that fall from the gems on the Rainbow Cliffs in Azuria. They use these crystals and gems as sun catchers, to spice up a soup and as healing remedies.

Did you know that Amethyst (the purple gemstone) relieves stress and strain, soothes irritability, balances mood swings, dispels anger, rage, fear and anxiety.  Alleviates sadness and grief, and dissolves negativity.  Amethyst activates spiritual awareness and opens intuition (Charms of Light).

Us fairies love receiving these symbolic gems as gifts. A gift of a Sapphire represents truth, faithfulness and honesty. They increase the ability to communicate, release depressive moods and bring calmness, mental clarity, clear vision and peace (SunRay).

You can use crystals in your everyday life, too! I like to collect a whole rainbow of crystals, but Amethyst and Sapphire are two of my favorites!

Whimsical Wednesday: Find your freedom!

Find your freedom by scenicglory on Etsy

Love this print by scenicglory from Etsy.com. What a creative and whimsical collection of downloadable artwork she has listed in her shop.

I find my freedom by laying in the grass under the shade of an evergreen watching the birds fly high above me. How do you find yours?

Færie Camp: Clothes Pin Færies

Its Færie Camp week! Our færies are learning about all sorts of things. They’ve learned that one thing færies love to do is make something out of scraps of other things. Just like recycling!

Today we made fairies out of yarn and clothespins. Then added scraps of cloth from the sewing classes at Tagaloo as a dress and wings!

Fancy Færie Prints

Do you like to draw? I do! I make paints out of smooshed berries from the forest and use teeny feathers from birds flying by for brushes.

I found these super sweet færie paintings today and just had to share them with you.

Today, draw yourself as a færie! Think about what flower petals you would wear as clothes and what you might decorate your hair with. Maybe dew drops or a wreath of fallen leaves.  I drew this picture of myself for you.

I would love to see some of your fairy drawings someday! Until next time,

Furnishings Fit for a Færie!

I was scanning the internets today on my teeny færie computer and I stumbled onto these adorable Færie home furnishings on Etsy.com.

My personal favorite is this tiny stage coach! Just get a squirrel for a horse and you’re ready to go… though your trip might prove to be a bit…. well, unpredictable.

Færies are famous for making things out of what others would see as nothing! We make our clothes from fallen flower petals, forks from twigs and if we get a leak in the roof its nothing that a maple leaf and a little mud won’t fix!

Take it from someone who knows! Fairies love surprises! What things can you find in the forest near you to help the faeries in your yard furnish their homes? Must get back to my work. Until next time,

Summer Lemonade

There’s something entirely refreshing about lemons in the summer. Even just a lemon squeezed into a glass of ice water quenches my thirst on these hot summer days.

Here’s a recipe for lemonade to cool you off this summer. I usually cut the sugar down though, because I like tart lemonade!

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups white sugar
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups lemon juice

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled.
  2. Remove seeds from lemon juice, but leave pulp. In pitcher, stir together chilled syrup, lemon juice and remaining 7 cups water.

You could even make some extra spending money by organizing a neighborhood lemonade stand! Enjoy!
