MORE SPRINGTIME FAIRIES IN BOXES!

 Spring is being really stubborn here in Massachusetts. Winter just hasn't quite given up and since it is impossible to go out and start getting my garden ready, it actually snowed all morning, just enough to make a person think they are going crazy, I have been busily making another group of fairies.  

 Hmmnn, that was a long sentence...but there is no other way of describing the situation around here.....

 These fairies come in wonderful boxes shaped like acorns , a pear , a paint decorated egg and one just hanging on a geranium! They are removable from their boxes and can be carefully positioned if you like.  Each one comes named and they range in size from about 3 inches to almost 4 inches. If you are interested in purchasing any of them , just email me and let me know.  You can pay by bank check/ money order or I can send a Paypal invoice.

FOR SALE! FAIRIES IN YOUR HAIR!

FAIRIES IN YOUR HAIR, ON HEADBANDS!

This past Christmas, I started making fairies and putting them on headbands for my granddaughters and grandnieces and other little friends. They were a big hit! I guess fairies are in demand when you are a little girl. My granddaughter, Evelina is convinced she is a fairy and wears her fairy dresses over her Winter clothing. A fairy Princess can not be seen without the appropriate outfit, no matter what the weather. Hear that, winter!

So I have been very busy for the last couple weeks, making "Fairies in your hair", to sell. After my last post, I had people asking me if I sold my little Fairy headbands and I thought that I would make a bunch and see how that went. I have 11 fairies on headbands for you to choose from at the moment. Each one is pictured and named, so it is easy for you to let me know which one you'd like.

The fairies are made by hand, by me. The fairies have hand painted faces and wool roving for hair. Their little jackets are made of 100% wool felt and embroidered by me. Hats are made of acorns.
Each one is unique, no two alike. They each seem to have a personality and it is great fun positioning them on the hairband! The little girl that wears one of these headbands, should know that her fairy will go where she goes, whether that fairy is asleep on her head or just relaxing and going along for the ride, while enjoying the view, or maybe watching for whatever is going on. Fairies love seeing new things and going places when they can hitch a ride on someone's head. All little girls know that!!

So scroll down and take a look, just in case you might know a little girl that would like a fairy in her hair! Each one is $45, you can contact me by email and I will send an invoice through Paypal.
Thank you !!

FAIRIES IN YOUR HAIR?

FAIRIES ON HEADBANDS!

I have been busy for a couple of weeks, making my favorite thing. Fairies! I did a post last February on making these particular fairies. I talked about how make them, so I am not going to go into all that again. It isn't a terribly hard thing to do and it is something that you can use your own imagination to create a fairy all your own . A really fun thing to do, especially when the weather is crummy and cold outside.

I was watching one of  my Granddaughters playing with a fairy that I had given to her, and she kept sticking it on her head, pretending that it was landing on her and riding around up there. I started thinking about it and thought wouldn't it be funny to make some and put them on headbands ! Fairies could relax or just sleep in a little girl's hair! Genius!!

 So I ran out, bought some headbands and started making fairies. My friend, Sharon, has a beautiful granddaughter named, Riley, and we were on our way to visit her family while antiquing in Pennsylvania. I brought Riley a fairy headband. That was more then a year and a half ago, and she has been wearing it everyday. Success....at least with one little girl.

This year I decided it was time to make a few more for gifts. Here are some of the ones I made for my little friends!

POPPY!

VIOLET!

ELSA!

ROSIE!

CHRISTMAS MORNING !

Oh, Sister! Our stockings are full of special things!!

The little Wooden Sisters were not disappointed! 

They found their stockings sitting on handsome Mr. Clock , with his Christmas headdress of princess pine and dancing paper children. 




 Yes! Even little wooden dolls, can expect a Christmas surprise....all things are possible when you apply a little imagination!  

Life is a mystery, forever explored....... as is faith....

Elena! Quick , pass them down to me! 

Eugenia, this is a great story..."Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house"!
Elena, I got a new dollie! 

DECK THE HALLS AND TIS THE SEASON!

Are you searching for someone?

 Yesterday , I finally started dragging out all my Christmas things , with the idea that I could decorate quickly ( yeah , I can be delusional ) and then move on to other things that need to get done before the actual day. It took several days and I still have a few things I want to add. Add a couple of little wooden sisters into the picture....... They were into everything as you will see when you scroll down!



 First, I brought out my favorite Christmas thing and that is my antique wooden creche. It took awhile to figure out exactly how I was going to set it up, but pretty soon, I was all done.




The creche charmed them!

The wise men

 There were wise men on elephants and leading camels, carrying gifts for baby Jesus. There were Shepards herding sheep and lambs.

The shepards and their flock

Oh come all ye faithful!!!!!

Attempting to decorate

Ooooohh, this is the prettiest one! I can see myself....

   

How about this ?

 The tree was next. This year I decided to keep things simple, which meant only one little feather tree.


 The little sisters thought it was the most beautiful thing they ever saw.  Helping can be a good thing and also a not so good thing.....



 After, I hung up an old pair of stockings on the mantel in the old kitchen fireplace.

 The sisters figured out that goodies were going to end up in those stockings. Off they went upstairs to the little doll trunk to search for the perfect pair.

They disturbed a wee brown bear who was hibernating in with all the doll clothes.  He was surprised, but intrigued by these two sisters...

We should get lot's of goodies in these stockings. Brown bear can come too. We may need him!

Here hand this to brown bear. 

Bears' are good climbers! careful now!

Perfect!!!

What do we have here? Chocolates , gumdrops and peppermint?

Careful Eugenia! 

Gumdrops and peppermint ! My favorites!

Do you see anyone? I think we are safe....

Mmmmmm, yummy yum...

Merry Christmas Brown bear! Have a nice sleep and we will see you in the Spring.

Merry Christmas to you Elena!
And to you too, Eugenia!

And of course, A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!
