Two Fairy Houses :: Fairy Tea House & Earth Fairy House

I made fairy houses! If you could use some magickal company, one option is to place a faery dwelling in your home and soon enough someone wonderful (or two or three?) will inhabit it.

Full view of the house. 'Fairy Lamps' is a mysterious and pretty song from a 1914 song book.

Little mandala art I made.

Interesting art on the walls of the pixie lounge. Also, space for adding any fae items one may wish, or you can put your fairy here if you have figurines and such. The petal is a book holder for miniature fairytales.

'Something Nice to Look At' and 'The Pie and the Patty-Pan' by Beatrix Potter. The former is written in excellent rhyme :)

Adorable vintage kitty! And Charming poetry on this page! :P

Step into the mystery and attract a bright spirit to bless your home, and to enjoy this shabby chic Fairy Tea House!

Oh and there's another apartment available:

A natural, wondrous fairy house for a calm and earthy spirit to come live here.

Baby deer ready to play with the fairy (or fairies).

Dragonfly guarding the magic crystal! Picture is not doing it justice here, sorry. The crystal is not glued so you can pick it up and carry with you if you want.

Leaf bed. Cone is there for holding the fairy's jewelry when she sleeps. Also she can hide whatever secret things she has in the depths of the cone.

Bedside reading. This is from the Tale of Mrs Tiggy Winkle by Beatrix Potter. Exciting story and lots of cool pictures.

Feather bottle to store magic faery dust in.

Another book, The Frolicsome Kittens, written in rhyme and illustrated beautifully.

Charms that you can wear as a necklace! They will jingle a little bit as you move and remind you of your resident fairy throughout the day.

These houses are yours if you want! One or both. Pay what you think is fair! y!

Much love.

Dreamcatcher Drama

Remember a while back when I posted the instructions on how to make a dreamcatcher? My sister Kaisu wrote it as she's expert at all fabulous nature things. Here's a reminder of a snowy catcher she made:

I wanted to make one too and followed Kaisu's instructions, step by step. Somehow I just couldn't figure it out:

I posted this pic on my Facebook and inspired my other sister Minna to make her first dreamcatcher:

As you can see, her catcher is quite multisupernovadimensional, and has a dried flower on it. Here's Minna's story:

Here's my first dreamcatcher. I walked in the forest next to our house with the flute ready in my mouth, to play a little thank you song for the tree. As soon as I step in the forest, even before I played anything, I found a perfect bending branch in the ground, so I didn't even have to cut it from a living tree. I continued walking in the forest a little bit, playing the flute, trying few sticks from the ground, they all broke when bending them. Then I saw a tin box in the ground, took it to the trash and decided my exchange with the forest wouldn't end more perfectly ♥

Seeing all this dreamcatching going down, our mom Heini got inspired as well and made her first one:

That's a cute little bird bead in the middle. That bird punatulkku is very common in Finland, bullfinch in English.

Mom made another one with moss from the forest:

Craftically speaking, I have decided to move on and leave dreamcatchers to those who have what it takes. This is my new project that's spread out all over the living room floor:

Tomorrow my friend Danielle will borrow me her sewing machine and I'll be able to really get cracking. I'll let you know if anything comes out of this. I'm very excited though. Do you have any crafts or arts projects/ideas you've been planning or working on lately?

Craft Corner: Fall Lovelies

Fall is by far my favorite season. The beautiful weather, changing leaves, crockpot recipes, SEC football games, and, of course, Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes make it simply perfect. I also LOVE Fall crafts. They just add the perfect touch of warmth to a home. So I thought that the perfect way to kick off my new blog would be to share this fantastic collection of Fall Crafts found on the fabulous website I Heart Naptime. Choose a craft, grab your kids or girlfriends, and start creating! Every moment spent together is a cherished one...why not have something adorable to show for it in the end? Happy Crafting!
