A Fairy Census

It's been awhile since I posted about our Little Friends. But then, I think they are hibernating in these parts. I have heard rumors (via the Kitties, so who knows how true those rumors are!) that they are planning a development in the Spring. 

Back to the subject at hand....

There has been a Fairy census taken (wonder if my Little Friends took part?). The results can be read here! Or for questions answered or more information, go to The Fairyist.


Or to read abut the results of the census and other musings, go to Malcom's Musings.

A great source of information about those Little People can be found at this blog,  Living Liminally . In fact the writer of that blog released a book last year and has another scheduled to come out this year. And currently she is writing about Fairy Taboos to enable us humans to better understand and live side by side with them.

Fairy Thoughts...

The Festival of Faerie was F*U*N!!!!

I was so busy in my booth that I didn't have much of a chance to wander and watch. Fortunately my daughter was the official photographer (Pixie Press) for the festival and so I lived it through her eyes and the lens of her camera. 

My attire for these types of events is a work in progress. My persona is the Witch of the WildWoods. I have not found my name yet. I am Elven-ish so wings will not be a needed item. But I experienced Wing envy at the Festival. OH MY! There were some gorgeous wings! 

But I still don't want wings, they are just too cumbersome when working in a booth. 

One day I will have as complete an outfit as some of these Faeries.

The Bubbles...

Columbine the Fairy was the wonder behind them. She has the record for the largest soap bubble created in the state. 

She has two dowels between which is strung a net made of cotton rope which creates the multiple bubbles. 

To create the large bubbles, the cotton rope is in a large loop which is attached to two dowels only at the top of the loop. She also uses her own recipe of bubble mix. Here is a link to Columbine's website. 

As my grand-daughter said, "I want to live here..."

See You......

See you this weekend at the Festival of Faerie in Lafayette, Colorado! 

Solstice Blessings to everyone!

Festival of Faerie

Last year was the inaugural year for the Festival of Faerie in Lafayette, Colorado. It was so much fun to see and interact with the Fae Folk! And I am pleased to announce that this year should be even better! I am helping with the organization of the Festival this year. I'm super stoked to be able to put to use the skills I gleaned from my years of work with The International Rice Festival.
