Saturdays at home...AAAhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

2009-06-13T17:31:00.002+01:00

A lovely sunny day at fairy mansions and i've been mowing the lawns and strimming and napping and washing last years mud off velvet curtains for our small stall next weekend at 3 wishes festival in bodmin!!

Kerstee fairy is here and has been glittering and is as we speak packing up our exciting new range of fairy nipple tasties to take to the festies!!

Patrick,jessy-lou,esther,sabrina,jason and mandy fairies are all down at the isle of wight festival hopefully having a general fairy ball and spreading the love!!!

I am very very excited!!! My insurance cheque has come thru for my written off car and i haven't had any time or energy to look for a new one,but with my rental being picked up on tues i thought i should at least make some effort!!! I got the local paper (hereford times didn't you know!!!) and had a long look and found nothing to my purse or taste and then just as i gave up and went to shut the paper,i saw it!!! 17 year old jag,gas conversion £795 and the guy lived just around the corner!!! Kerstee fairy and i went round this morning and took it for a spin!!! it's brilliant and perfect and as the add said"economy with style"...So i have done it!! i am getting it on tues and i am going to paint it pink and throw glitter all over it while the paint is still wet!!! She is a beauty!!!! So thank the gods and goddesses and fairies that that was so easy after everything!!! Yay!!!!! She'll be commin round the mountain when she comes,she'll be driving her big pink jag,oh she'll be driving her big pink jag when she comes!!!! toot toot!!!! x

Love kisses and summery wishes to you all!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxloves youxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Fairy crash!!!! Still here!

2009-05-29T10:05:00.003+01:00

I am sitting in front of the computer today,a little dazed and confused and feeling a little fragile!!!
I was driving to a friends last night and we were to go out dancing!!! i was fully fairied up and felt great...I came around the corner just a few minutes from home and saw a car on the same side of the road as me,coming straight for me!! He seemed to see me and then come even closer on my side of the road and the next thing we smashed straight into each other!!!

I feel so grateful not to be badly hurt and very lucky to be alive !!!My car is written off and the poor old chap thought he was in france,(where he has just gotten back from) which was why he was driving on the wrong side of the road!! I have been very looked after by everyone here and while i didn't get to go out dancing I AM ALIVE AND HAPPY AND WELL!!!

THINK MY ANGELS WERE WITH ME!!
Big love to you allxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

New wings for katie fairy!!!

2009-02-25T15:25:00.002Z

It's been an interesting day here at fairy towers!! I spent about an hour on the phone with npower trying to find out why we have a bill for £820??? Blimey charlie!!!I mean really,and after that hour i am no closer to understanding anything!!!!

Thank goodness for cherry and katie fairies who stroked me and made it all better!! We then went out into the freezing cold to do some new model shots of new wings,knee high socks and stripey tights for the new mail out!!!! The things we do for love!!!
So that was cold but exhilarating and then after a very healthy lunch i asked katie fairy (who is visiting from scotland)to pose in her new wings that i finally made for her after the last time she was here,i had an amazing five massages off her lovely healing hands!!!

One other thing i wanted to say...I watched a japanese movie the other day 'kamakazee girls'which if you like kooky movies,is brilliant!! It messages in the movie are pretty great and one of the lines in it is 'humans are cowards in the face of happiness'.It really struck a chord with me and i think it is so true!!!
Any thoughts???
As always i love you all and send you lovely things in the ether!!!

Spring is in the air!!!

2009-02-17T09:10:00.002Z

Is it just me or does winter suddenly seem over and the promise and hope of spring is in the air??? Whatever it is,i love it and have an extra spring in my step this morning!!!

I had the most brilliant night out on sat night,a place called dex in Brixton had a valentines burlesque special and it was fantastic!!! Folk were all just so open and i met so many people and had such a laugh!!!There were lots of dress-ups,valentine stylee and the music was live and burlesque with the dj playing lots of amazing italian,hindi dance music!! Best night i have had in a long long time!!!

Cherry has just told me that it's hug an australian day on the 26th of april,think i will have to go and spend the day somewhere busier than here so i can make the most of that!!

Well it's a little chilly round the edges,i tell ya!!!Thank god for my log burner in fairy towers or i would be ready to move back to aussie by now!!!Me thinks i prefer the snow!!!

Off to london this afternoon for some party fun,where i will catch up with friends and dress-up and there will be dancing to be had!!Come on down!!Is it just me or do others find it hard to be inspired about dressing up when it is so cold????

All is good in the office today,starting on some serious wing making again after quite some time!! Can't wait to get my hands into all the glitters and i have some lovely new things to put on the wings that i picked up in india!!!

Have been looking through last years festie photo's and it is making me look forward to being in a sunny(fingers crossed) field all dressed up again!! Bring back some colour and fun!!!

Cherry has done an amazing job of putting all our galleries onto flicker(you can access these thru the galleries) so this makes them much better to look at and we will be adding more soon!! (including my india photo's!!!)

Alright back to work shelli!!!
Have an amazing weekend everyone!!!Wishes to you all xxxxxxxxxxx

2009-02-11T11:54:00.004Z

Another india pic,this is me in the palace at Jaipur,you can definately see too many palaces and forts in india but some of them are breathtakingly beautiful!!

Well all this cold weather is making me want to clear out the old!!! It's a great way to stay warm at fairy HQ... Out with the old and in with the new (whatever that is!!)
I have been clearing out and cleaning up and it feels great!The workshop is next,i am thinking of doing some painting and decorating too!!! Bright yellow me thinks!!

I am in the workshop on my own today and it's been a long time since that happened!! It's lovely actually,reminds me of the old days!! Cherry fairy is working from home to get all the galleries uploaded to flicker so we can add lots of new ones to make viewing easier for everyone!!! There are so many amazing pics on my computer and i want to share them all!!!

Still riding high on my holiday,think i might be for sometime!! i find whenever i talk to anyone about it,i feel so happy and infused with the spirit and love of all the indian folk that i met there and all the beauty i saw!!!

The sun is shining here and buds are starting to emerge on the flower bushes,and that makes me feel good!!! We deserve the best summer in the history of england!!! Please oh please!!! big kisses xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

2009-02-10T11:30:00.002Z

I have worn my wings in many places but rarely are they responded to so beautifully!! Alot of the time i felt like a female pied piper!!!
So here is another beauty for you!!!
Kisses xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Back from sunny spiritual india to a snowy blighty!!

2009-02-09T16:02:00.008Z

Hello my lovelies!!!!
I am fresh back in the fairy workshop after a glorious month in india!!!! I have found yet another home!!! I spent a month of swimming,lots of yoga(you wouldn't believe how much more flexible i am after a month of yoga!!!),incredible indian food and hanging out with beautiful indian folk!!! I was even adopted into an indian family and given cooking lessons and fed lots of delicious home cooked meals!!!! Oh and did i mention shopping!!! Oh my goddah!!!!

Pictured here is mohammed,the youngest of my indian family!!! Gorgeous!!!

I wore my wings everywhere and they went down so well,i felt like a movie star wherever i went!! They loved me!! I saw so much beauty and met so many people and had a complete overload on indian sweets!!(to die for!!)...If anyone is going i highly recommend going to udaipur city in rajisthan,it's a really beautiful fairytale city with really friendly people and i felt so at home there!!

So now i am back in the office and it was a bit of a culture shock at first!!
The snow is gorgeous tho and better than just being cold!!!
So i am now getting into creative mode and also feeling abit like spring cleaning everything!!
It's great to be home and that will be me in the mornings in my snug doing lots of yoga and breathing exercises!!! Keep it locked!!

Love to you all!!!
Shelley fairy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

New Years resolutions anyone??

2009-01-07T15:07:00.003Z

Happy new year fairy friends!
I do hope you all had an amazing fairy Christmas? I certainly did!.. I sat for 2 hours opening presents!.. I think a certain someone went a little over the top this year!
Anyway, its the new year now, the decorations have come down (oh no!!), and its time to make some new years resolutions! If you can't think of any, don't worry, I've got some for you!..
Number 1- Wear more bright colours! ..Number 2- Make more wishes! ... nd Number 3- Go and have a look at our new ted heads!
They're soooo gorgoeus! If you haven't heard of them, they're amazing wooly hats with cute little ears and they're soooo warm and snuggly, so great for this time of year! (Is it snowing where you are? It is here!! But sshhhh, were not talking about the weather!) ...Anyway, back to teadheads, we've not got many in stock so you need to check them out a.s.a.p before they all go!! I'm sure you all think I look wonderful in mine??
Time to warm my toes infront of the heater now!
Love you all fairies, heres to my first post for the Fairylove Blog! Woohoo! :)
-Cherry Fairy

Autumn Moon...

2008-10-14T17:19:00.003+01:00

Firstly, did anyone see the moon last night? It was SO beautiful...look out for it over the next couple of nights if it's clear - proper harvest moon, stunning.

Well, it's certainly been a wee while since I wrote in the blog...I was actually just looking over old posts, and it's so funny reading it, it's great because it reminded me of loads of stuff that happened that I'd just forgotten about. And summer seems so long ago already.

I'm currently preparing to leave the Fairylove crew...which feels like a massive step, but quite exciting too. It'll be very strange not coming to work in the fairy office every day...I'm sure it'll take me a while to get used to it. I'm thinking I'll head for the sun for January/February...MUCH-needed after the not-so-hot summer we've just had. This week we've got the lovely Katie Fairy down from Edinburgh helping out at fairy towers - I'm sure we'll rope her in to writing a blog entry at some point, so watch this space!

Shelley and I had loads of fun doing a photoshoot the other day, for all the new stuff we're putting in the online shop. It was the first time in ages that we've done one, and we had the best time! It was a beautiful sunny day, and we did some quite burlesque-style shots in the wood-panelled room with the sun streaming in through the window...here's a taster, but to see more, check out the new frilly knickers, leggings, burlesque feather headbands, and stockings in the online shop...!

Back on Track

2008-10-02T14:24:00.002+01:00

Hey fairies,

Another season closes and we have finally washed all the mud off the fairylove trucks and all the kit....phew. We thought we were gonna have it easier than last year but them whammee came Bestival. For those that were there....well you know! Probably one of the muddiest festies we've ever done.

All in all though we've had another great season and the new fairy staff have all got their wings!

Shelley is now sunning it up in Tuscany and Rosa and I are back in the fairy office arguing about whether to put the heating on. The leaves are falling all around and there are some big changes on the way. Biggest of all is Rosa's departure now set for mid November. Yoikes, better get recruiting!

Will be in more regular touch now the silly season is over.

You may have noticed that the fairylove profile page has disappeared from Facebook....we got kicked off because the profile did not denote an actual individual...bummer. the Fairylove Family Facebook group is still up so keep uploading your fairy pics there.

Back soon,

Jace x

A few muddy ones

2008-08-22T16:14:00.004+01:00

Hey groovers!

Well as Barry Manilow once sung....We made it through the rain!!! Last two festivals although not completely washed out did turn into a bit of a mud bath. At Green Man in wales the mud in front of the stall was 'soupey' and at Bestival it was definately more gooey.

However spirits on the Fairylove Team remained bouyant and there were a few stirling performances of fairies up ladders from Sabrina, Esther and Kathy. Meet them all here!

We're on another dirty doubler this weekend and again there's quite a contrast. One the one hand Green Belt more famous for it's Sunday Morning service than it's late night bar, and on the other Shambala which to my mind is one of the best festies on the circuit and certainly the first festie ever to really get hold of the dressing up theme. Last year the Fairylove fairies all ended up in a jacuzzi with the bubble bimbos from Bubble Inc.

That leaves me, Evil Boss Fairy back at HQ doing all the really hard work. Actually it's much my preferred option at the moment as I get to spend some time with Sam fairy now 6 and half weeks old.

Rachael has taken to motherhood like a fairy to glitter and I'm loving feeling part of a family. Sam sleeps well but does have the occasional wingey period, but hey don't we all.

still got a mountain of data entry for our prize draw still to do so I'll love you and leave for now...
Ya-Boo,
Jace xx

Flat out Fairies

2008-07-31T20:47:00.002+01:00

Hey Fairylovers!

Jace here. Well we've just built the biggest and best fairylove shop of all time. It's 6m wide and 12 m deep and is crammed with amazing fairy goodies. When you walk in the shop it looks like some has detonated a huge explosion in the middle of a rainbow! Top seeling products this summer our oue new range of frilly knickers, our amazing new corsets and eye lashes are flying out the door.

The new team are working like a dream and the old timers from last year seem to still be lickin' it up. Shelley and I are just so stoked that everyone is having such a blast on the stall.....everyone dressed up to the fairy nuines and having squillions of paparazzi photos taken.

On a personal note baby Sam Fairy is also loving life on the planet so far....he sleeps, feeds and poos.....and both Mummy Rachael and I are so looking forward to when he can crack out a smile which is not produced by a big fart being squeezed out!!

Will try to get some pics back up asap....back off to Big Chill site tomorrow....back soon!

Jace xx

Jasons pants!!

2008-07-23T18:29:00.004+01:00

Greetings fairies,
Leaf Fairy here..... I am stayig at fairy HQ this week and thought i'd tell you a bit about what they really get up to..... well it's all go here as we are well into the festie season now and everyone one can't get enough of Fairylove!
Yesterday started bright and early @ 6:30am with mr Cockrel waking me up but at least the sun was out so I've kinda forgiven him.

I then dozed for a bit and then finally headed down stairs to be greeted by 2 of the 5 hens (yep thats right in the kitchen!) hmmmm... what to do I thought, not knowing if they were meant to be there or not I looked at them for a bit, then one of them did a massive poo in the middle of the floor!! That made up my mind they were probably not meant to be in there so i, using my best chicken shepherding skills chased them out! After i'd cleaned up the poo and chased them out 5 more times (maybe I just don't seem that scarey to a chicken) Jason Fairy came in and made me some jolly nice eggs on toast (all is well)

On my way over to the work shop I noticed puck (the ginger cat) playing with a bummble bee, not the brightest of ideas so with my great fear of all bee/wasp type animals i bravely tried to part the two, as soon as i had he ran back again.... RUBBISH!! Then Sabrina Fairy came to my aid (all is well again).

Made it to the work shop finally and started my fairy poo packing. I was quite happy in my own little world then who walks round the corner but Jason Fairy in just his PANTS complaining that he was too hot! After the shock we decided that it made the day more entertaining having him run past every now and again.

The evening was fab,Shelley Fairy cooked some lovely food and Sabrina fairy joined us. After dinner Sabrina fairy and I decided to raid the fairy dress up room as we (after some wine) thought washing up would be more fun if we were dressed up and indeed it was! (much to Shelley fairies amusement)

Other exciting news (apart for the vegetarians amoung us,including me) was that after his bubble bee practice Puck caught a mouse! (I did try to save it but after getting growled at by Puck decided to give up and let Puck win)

Today I spent unpacking and stock checking deliveries and being buried up to my wings in eye lashes, feather boa's and frilly knickers!! Then Shelley fairy and I went to the local village as faries and made lots of people smile and confused a few. Just been packing more Poo but now have Fairy liquid (bubbles wooohoooo) so all is good in the wonderful world that is Fairylove HQ!!

BLOG CRIME

2008-07-14T16:59:00.005+01:00

Ouch!!

Yes father it was me, I did chop down your cherry tree....or rather...yes fairies it was my turn to update the blog and have failed most spectacularly. The dog didn't eat it, there were no leaves on the line, I havn't got food poisoning...in fact I have nothing to say in my defense. Guilty.

So guilty my tippy-tapping fingers are hot red with a sense of moral approbation. I did a bad thing...I left you..our dearest fairy friends in the dark whilst we the Fairylove team are off cavorting round the countryside havingfun at festies and starving you of info and insight.......here's a few pickies to try and make up for it...

Glastonbury Sunny Sunday...

2008-07-02T13:47:00.003+01:00

Well, what to say?! Tis Esther Fairy here, recovering from what was quite possibly the most amazing week EVER at Glastonbury. Being a Glastonbury virgin, I didn't really know what to expect and my my was I in for a suprise! completely in awe of the sheer size of this different world, it took a while to settle in, but within a few days it felt like home. For most of the time I was as high as a kite (metophorically of course!) as event after event unfolded!
I found the most gorgeous playmate, Mik Davis, only to then be asked by his band manager Joolz to dress up the legendary comedian Phil Jupitus, which was so much fun! Already starstruck, who should then be standing outside the FairyLove stall but the one and only Kate Nash, not at all inconspicuous in a bright yellow hoodie! Still buzzing from meeting Mr Jupitus, i ran out the stall and got some snaps of Miss Nash in a beautiful pair of FairyLove wings... What a day! After that, everything just seems a blur of feathers, sparkle and frilly knickers! It doesn't get much better than this!
I want to say a HUGE thank you to the Fairy team and to everyone that well and truely got into the spirit and freed their fairies with us, making the Glastonbury experience extra special.
Love and sparkles

Baby Sam is out!!

2008-06-28T10:37:00.004+01:00

He's burping,
He's farting,
He's crying!!

Blog-alicious...

2008-06-27T13:37:00.007+01:00

Morning!!! Well, it's certainly hotting up here in Glastoland. Yes, it rained last night, so yes things are a little soggy this morning, but it's very warm, and the forecast is good, and the mud is NOTHING compared to last year...and most importantly, spirits are high and people are dressing up! They say a picture paints a thousand words, so i'm going to shower you with photos from the last couple of days...

Oooh i wanted to upload more than that, but the internet connection is excruciatingly slow (i am in the middle of a muddy field, after all...) and my laptop is running out of juice, but worry not, for i shall be charged up and posting again very soon. Hold on to your hats everybody....woop woop! xxx

The masses arrive!

2008-06-26T10:05:00.006+01:00

Kathy Fairy here on the fairy stall on this beautiful bright and sunny thursday morn! For the past few days now I have been ambling round the Glastonbury sight with my fairy comrades spreading magic and love to our highest degree! During this time my jaw has been firmly stuck to the ground in amazement and disbelief at the sheer magnitude of this event. Every day i've been exclaiming that there are just so many people here! Really this is a meer sample of what I have to expect over the coming days.

It is getting extremely exciting in our magical cave and I simply cannot wait for it to be jam packed to the max, so that we can bring new fairies into the festival spirit! The dressing up has been well and truely inforced by our fellow festivalers in the likes of the Hurly Burly and we hope the rest of the crowd will join us. The dream team are indeed rocking the dress ups this year! (with much help from some fabulous new lashes!!!!)

We seem to have an ever-increasing wildlife reserve in our camp with baby bunnies and during our staff meeting this morning we were even visited by a shrew on the stall!

Back stage in our camping headquarters this morning, we found a perculiar looking object on the side of the truck. One of the fairies suggested that it could be some kind of fairy truck parasite, happy to be attatched to our magical waggon! At closer inspection and masterful deduction with our fairy powers it was becoming clearer to us what this alien type object was. Having not seen an object like this for a few fairy moons there indeed some puzzlement, the picture below shows what we all could see! Rosa and Shelley Fairy being cheif fairies of our clan knew straight away what it was! It was one of our feather eyelashes! We could only assume it had been there since the last festival season as no one has worn that particular lash so far this season! It just prooves what staying power our fantastical lashes have!

Whoop whoop its Glastonbury...

2008-06-25T11:04:00.005+01:00

Hello hello fairyfolks, lots of love from Glastonbury.
Its Mika fairy here.

With so much exitment in the air all of us fairies decided to crack on with setting up the stall, making it look amazing and finishing in time to have a wander around this oh so magical little city... I reckon we have done a great job. The stall looks fabulous, pink and ready for amazing times ahead. And we need to applaude the two guy fairies for a big big fancy changing room which looks like its only missing a discoball now.

Sooo... set up was done and all of us jumped in our first Glastonbury tutus and decided to raid every dress up stall we could find before they had even finished unpacking. Lots of fairyfriends joined us on our mission, such as Naomi who is in the picture above. Best outfit???? HAMISH. Throughout our little walk Hame fairy turned into a 20s housewife about to do the dishes, only to then top his outfit with some glittery pink leather-like 70s disco shirt - once again has Hamish taken his inner fairy to new hights... whoop.

Also along our way.. Shelley fairy is showing off her biggest and most colorful wings ever, Jess fairy is badly missed and not only by the rest of the fairy crew.., the Hurley Burley veggie-music-cabaret world has to become best stall and the sun is shining at Glastonbury. I know I need to get over this, especially as most of the fairies here had at least a few years of getting used to it but Glastonbury is so big. It is HUGE!! Loving it.

A new day is born...oh, and a baby!

2008-06-24T09:15:00.008+01:00

Good morning! Well, the top news item of the morning has got to be the birth of Jason Fairy's son! Born in the middle of the night...so HUGE congratulations to Jason and Rachel. And how lucky is that boy, he's going to have a Glastonbury Birthday for the rest of his life!! We can't wait to see photos of the kiddo...we're still trying to get our heads round the idea that we will soon see Jason with a baby in his arms (he usually recoils away from other people's babies!!). SO exciting!

Anyway, back to the more trivial news items...we made a good dent in the stall set-up yesterday. I put up the holographic silver ceiling for the first time this season, which involves lots of clambering around on narrow metal bars high in the roof of the stall...the closest I'll ever get to being a trapeze artist I reckon!

Kathy put the finishing touches to our lovely new display board, featuring the Fairylove Story, and lots of fantastic photos to give people a flavour of what we're all about...

Shelley decided it was all getting a bit too hot and sweaty in the stall, so stripped off and continued her work naked!

We'll leave you guessing what's hidden behind that huge box.

Well, not much juicy gossip to report yet, but it's early days. So to wrap up, here's a nice photo of all of us eating the delicious dinner that Kathy and Esther cooked for us last night...from left Rosa, Mika, Kathy, Esther. Till next time folks xxx

Live from Glastonbury!

2008-06-23T11:23:00.001+01:00

Oh my bloody goodness...I am sitting in a field at Glastonbury Festival (albeit with a green towel over my head so I can see the laptop screen properly) and I'm online!! Hamish got his magic dongle out for me and I've stuck it in my laptop (now now, no jokes), and with a mere half an hour or so of expert computer wizardry (ha) I've managed to actually connect to the internet! So here we are, and the sun is shining, and the delightful hurly burlies are just waving distance up the road from us!

It's a bit of an old squeeze behind our stall - we usually have space to park our truck behind (it's our stock room, and we're usually in and out of it all day) but this time we literally have this tiny triangle of grass, barely space to swing a cat!!
So there's gonna be a lot of trekking to and from the truck with big heavy boxes...unless we have a VERY kindhearted neighbour who'll let us squeeze our monster truck in behind them! Hame and Mooly have done a great job of doing all the boy jobs, like putting up the marquee - this is what it looks like this morning:

Meanwhile, Shelley has been making some minor adjustments to her amazing new wings - made especially for Glastonbury! They're are so huge, and look very real and fairy-like...can't wait to get out and about with everyone fully dressed up! Not a welly boot in site, woohoo!!!

Right, we'd better crack on with setting up the stall...so I'm going to love you and leave you with this beautiful inspiring image of me tiptapping away at the blog...I wouldn't want all this effort to go to waste, so make sure you check back for regular Glastonbury updates and I'll make sure I make it rivetingly exciting and gossip-filled, to leave you gagging for more!

Late-night fairy-ing...

2008-06-21T23:30:00.000+01:00

Evenin' all...it's nearly midnight and I'm still up in the fairy office, getting creative! I've been making some pasties (which Shelley has re-named 'Tasties'...a much nicer name. For those of you who don't know, they're like nipple tassles, but without the tassles! Burlesque stylee...). I've made Shelley a baby pink marabou pair, with tiny flower diamontes in the middle, and I've been working on a peacock feather pair for myself, which is proving quite a challenge. I've just finished one, but I think I'm going to have to fall in to bed very shortly, so hopefully I can find the time to make another tomorrow morning...can't really wear one on its own!! I was packing the big truck until 10pm last night, but it's now ready to roll to Glastonbury, so I feel justified in shifting my priorities to nipple-tasty-making!! Hopefully appearing soon on the Fairylove stall and online shop.

It's pouring with rain at the moment, which would normally have me close to tears, it being so soon till Glastonbury and all, BUT i've just checked the forecast, and it's GOOD!! Surely we deserve a hot sunny Glastonbury, after the last one...and the one before that..and the one before that...

Fingers, toes, and eyelashes crossed.

I'm taking my laptop to Glastonbury, and will do my best to update the blog daily with photos and tales of our adventures, happenings on the stall, and behind-the-scenes photos! Watch this space folks!

It's all about to go pop!

2008-06-21T13:43:00.000+01:00

Hey Fairies!

Counting down time now until Glasto...lots of last minute preps , but all being well the Fairylove trucks will be wagons roll from HQ tomorrow morning.

Me, Jason fairy up in London watching Rachael get bigger and bigger. I can almost rest my pint on top of her tummy. Now five days over due...be great if junior decides to make an appearance today as he will be an equinox baby.

Difficult to describe my state of mind...bit of a mix between excitement, apprehension and incomprehension! hey-ho...soon enough.

Happy fairy days!!!

2008-06-14T09:39:00.000+01:00

Hello me lovelies!!!

Such a beautiful day here at fairy towers!! Amazing!!! Summer is rolling in and I am hoping that it's just like this down at the Isle of Wight festie where rosa and the fairy dream team are doing a fantastic job of spreading the Fairylove!!!!

Yesterday Auriol fairy came with her mum to pick up her bespoke wings for her 21st birthday party!! She was completely over the moon with her wings that rosa and I had both worked on together! Her mum also bought herself a pair!! I think they are the tallest fairy wings we have made and so beautiful,they look completely real!!!

On Thursday night I went up to basingstake for a fairy book launch for Lee Weatherley's new series "Glitterwings Academy"...Books about a school,for fairies...(these will soon be available on our site and a good read for all!!!)

Nearly everyone at the launch wore fairy wings,about 50 and it was amazing to be around so many other fairies.....We met Lee when she first ordered a huge set to wear to her book signings and she has since bought 4 more pairs,including a set for her husband pete!!! Now a self confessed wing addict!! It was a lovely evening!!!

Went out dancing last night, Nizlopi at Prestiegne...They were fantastic!!! It was in a big dome,beautifully decorated....If you ever hear of them playing,get along and check them out!!!

Off to sit in the sunshine!! Huge wishes and kisses to you all!!!

FAIRYLOVE MAKES THE NEWS!

Studio photo's and champagne days!!

2008-06-06T13:07:00.000+01:00

Hello beauties!!!

All good here at glitter towers!!! Chickens are behaving themselves better and kitty's are pure joy!! I have just come back from 2 days up in kent where cariney fairy and i went into london for a photoshoot,hair and make-up session!! It was brilliant...Expensive but brilliant!! The invite was free for hair and make-up and the shoot but then to buy your photo's floors you,and i thought i was expecting it to be expensive!!! But for me it was great to be on the other side of the camera and they did a great job!!! Makes me want to set up a studio here at fairy towers!! We took a bottle of bubbly with us and just relaxed into it!!

Molly fairy and i are winging away in the office today and all our summer tu-tu's need sorting too,so plenty to do around here!!! Fingers crossed for good weather up at strawberry fair!! Just talked to rosa fairy and she said they are nearly set up,so they get the afternoon off!!

Looking forward to some gardening on the weekend,my vegie garden is going off the fairy ricta!!

Oh and has anyone else been enjoying aerobics!!! i absolutely love it and am having olts of ideas about fairy aerobics!!

For Who The The Cock Crows!

2008-06-04T05:32:00.000+01:00

Hey Fairylovers!

It's an early start here at HQ.....the next door neighbour's cockerel who has recently been servicing our girls has decided it would be a good idea to come and welcome the dawn by cock-a-doodle-dooing right outside the bedroom window. 5am. He may soon end up on the dinner table.

More chicken news.......one of the girls has gone cannibal and is pecking the eggs open. Shelley thinks she might have found the culprit....we think it's Atilla the Hen...hardly surprising really. Another one for the table.

And so groovers here am I tippy-tapping at the break of day trying to catch up on fairy office duties as we had a power outage for most of yesterday. For those of you who are fresh in to the Blog, I am delighted to announce that the Fairylove '08 summer festival season is now fuly underway!

Rosa took a team to Wychwood Music festival last weeekend and they all did a great job of spreading the fairyluuurve. Funny ol' festival though...we've done a few gigs on the Racecourse at Cheltenham, and I dunno, it just seems to lack a heart somehow. Organisers had created a traders section which ended up being more of just a corridor to the campsite and back.

Nonetheless all fairies had a great time launching the Fairylove summer prize draw, and congrats to Miika and Esther fairies who lost thier Fairylove festie cherries!

Another busy day ahead.....getting ready for Stawberry fair which is up next. Not one of my favourites as it is only a one dayer and is always just a little bit lary after 8pm. I've always wondered why drunk boys feel the need to actually piss ON the side of traders stalls rather than just on the grass!! Sometimes if you're really lucky you might even find a human poo next to the stall....sorry about that , but it's good you know that it's not all galmourous in a faire's world.

Our hearts go out to all the Sunrise Festival goers who had their festival completely cancelled. from what i hear other festies are stumping up and offering free entry to their gigs as compensation....good on you guys!

Managed to squeeze in a few hours with Rachael yesterday and only 2 weeks to go before my life changes irrevocably forever.....we're both a bit bored of thinking about babies and now just want to get started on the real deal, especially Rachael who thinks she is as big as a hippo. I tried fitting the baby car seat yesterday....what a pallarver......I have a feeling that nothing is ever going to be simple and stright forward ever again!

Chickens, Hens and festival virgins

2008-05-31T10:55:00.000+01:00

Hey Possoms!

Jace here.

I went to my first ante natal class the other day. We sat on chairs the wrong way round, ate jelly babies, listened attentively and were all very well behaved. Lots of information about birth process. Scary.

I had a go of the doll baby and simulated giving it a bath ....don't let go of the baby, whatever you do don't let go of the baby. I held on tight and mock washed like a proud new father. Just 2 weeks to go before B-day...no point in trying to imagine how it's all gonna be......I've tried...hundreds of times over the past few months. Just gotta chill out, keep the phone on and wait for The Call. Then it's a 2 hour drive to Rachael and the hozza. It's gonna be an interesting journey!

Aaaanyway, I digress. The Fairylove stall is up, stocked, and is fully fairied up and pushing out loads of love and magic at Wychwood Festival as I tippy-tap. The Dream Team on this gig is Hamish, Rosa Bloom, Esther and Mika. Esther and Mika popping their Fairylove cherry and by all accounts having a ball so far.

Meanwhile back at HQ Shelley and i are hosting a hen weekend for 10 fairy hens. They are currently having massages and will later get dressed up and go out on a fairy raid to Hereford town to scare the farmers on their weekly shop.

Pictured here are the fairy hens with the real hens.....birds of a feather!

Everything has suddenly speeded up around here, but feels great. Just to get the first festie done and the kit all dusted off again is such a relief. can't believe we've still got two more gigs before Glasto. I am sad to be missing Glasto but welcoming my first born son into the world will more than compensate.

Our facebook friends grow and grow and the fairy message is getting stronger. Odly enough I feel quite calm about everything at the moment. I know there's alot of hecticness about to come my way but maybe, just maybe I am managing my stress a bit better these days.

Breathing, breathing, breathing.

all-da-fun-a-da-fair!!

2008-05-26T18:00:00.000+01:00

Well, now, I have been at Fairy HQ for a week now and it has all been jolly super magical really.

My friend Mika Fairy arrived at Glitter Mansions last Thursday to meet all the fairy lovers and give a helping hand! She was rather overcome with excitement, even finding the bathroom a magical cave of fairy delightfulness!

We have all been getting ready for the first festy next weekend, sorting out boxes of exciting things. I had a lovely time covering sunglasses in glitter, ready for sale at a festival soon!!

Mika explored dizzying heights of magic whilst packing fairy poo and all in all it has been jolly good fun in the fairy office.

Outside of work hours we've also been having a superduper trooper of a time!!

On Saturday night we all attended the Hurly Burly 1st Birthday Garden Party. The Hurly Burly Cafe are good friends of the FairyLovelies and are a rocking festy stall! Look out for them at Glastonbury and other fields near you very soon!! They provided us with a marvellous array of delish veggo food and a caberet of delights. Shelli-I Fair-I and Jesse-Lou even made an appearance on stage at our biggest gig yet, which was very very excitemacating and a lil' scary too!!

Oh my goddah!!!

2008-05-22T16:33:00.000+01:00

How has this happened?? We have our first festival next weekend and also at the same time a group of 12 fairy hens coming to fairy towers!!Oh my goddah!! Thank gods and godesses for fairy helpers and rosa fairies!!! Who are right now as we speak in the stockroom splitting stock and getting all the stock into plastic boxes to pack the lord (our big truck) with!!

Jess fairy has maybe gotten more than she bargained for when she agreed to come and help us for the week!!! First job was tagging fairy knickers and then separating them into 2 piles and then a bit of respite in abit of fairy poo packing!!! Then deep into the depths of fairy t-shirt land!!! Whoever knew that being a fairy helper could go to such heights of excitement???? She did have a lovely long walk with rosa and i last night and then a big relaxing bath last night so all is well!!

Wings are being finished off,things arriving,stock being ordered!! Amonst it all my new chickens don't seem to be getting along very well and it's affecting thier laying power,which up until now has been fantastic!!! If anyone has any handy chook tips i would love to hear them!! Cats are happy,have changed tinks name to wishes and it suits her much more!!!

I am feeling ok,a little dazed and confused and wishing life would just slow on down abit but hoping we can get thru all this with little stress and with fairy stylee!!!! Have some folk arriving for b+b and photoshoot tomorrow and have lots of lovely things planned for the weekend!! Come on sun!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines...

2008-05-20T14:41:00.000+01:00

We've been working on a posh new leaflet for fairylove over the past couple of weeks. Rachael has done an amazing job of designing it, and we've been back and fro about a million times with lots of little tweaks and changes, and finally we're there! It's going to be sexy full colour, and will even be printed on recycled card with vegetable-based inks - pat on the back for us! We just thought if we're going to be producing that much paper, we should at least make it as environmentally friendly as possible. And I reckon it's gonna look so good that no one will throw it away anyway, they'll just stick it on their fridge/bathroom door/bedroom wall! Here's a sneak preview...if you want to see the whole thing, come and grab one from the Fairylove stall at the festivals!

Dead ducks, live kittens, and girlie shopping.

2008-05-15T15:05:00.002+01:00

Hey fluff bundles!

Well....theres good news and bad news.......the ducks, once thought to be gay...are not gay............

The ducks were doing the wild thing the other week and hey presto..ducklings. Beautiful little bundles of yellow and black fluff..so innocent, so cute, so vulnerable, so dead. Thats the bad news.

We're not quite sure which predator was to blame, but it certainly wasn't me...I just wanna get that clear right from the start. Anyway the've all gone, so we are ducklingless again.

However we are still kitten rich, but if they keep pissing in the house , not quite sure how long that'll last either. Personally I'm getting a bit bored of them already.

Still, I'll have a very small person to cuddle soon. I just hope he's as cute as a kitten.....maybe less hairy.

The house was over run with fairies again last Saturday as Sarah and a load of buddies turned up, dressed up and went shopping for fairy goodies. Squeals of delight from around the grounds.

Click on the image to see more.

Festie preparations seem to be moving forwards although I've had a coupla days of not quite being able to finish jobs that i have started. Ever have those days? Bloody frustrating, and stuff lying around on the floor everywhere. I blame my star sign and given nature. Aries; good at starting, not so good on detail and follow through.

It'll all get done for sure, nothing like a bit of eleventh hour panic to get the job finished!

We invite you all to comment on any aspect of this blog...we'd love to hear from you.....or are we just tippy-tapping hopelessly into the ether??????

Glittery eyelashes

2008-05-14T17:17:00.000+01:00

I've got glittery eyelashes today, from doing so much wing-decorating...I can see little sparkles every time I blink! I've been trying to get all of the wing orders underway so that I can get as many finished as possible before I'm lost to Festival World in just two weeks time....aaarrgghhh! From then on I'll be spending 5 nights a week in a field till September! Crazy.

I have regained my sense of smell at last, after my nasty cold (I walked into my flat this afternoon and thought 'hmm, I think I need to empty the compost bucket...ah ha, I can smell again!!"). Really looking forward to seeing Jess, Mika, Mel, and Sticky next week when they come up to visit Fairylove HQ...I'm planning on having a bit of a housewarming party to christen my flat.

We went on a great bike ride on Sunday evening, to Lewis and Mella's local pub. Morris went on the back of Lewis's bike, and was demanding dandelions all the way there and back, so that he could blow the seeds! Shelley mastered local pub. Morristhe technique of picking dandelions from the hedgerow as she cycled! On returning to Lewis's, we admired the newly-rigged lighting in the marquee that he has built for the Hurly Burly Cafe - whose 1st birthday we will be celebrating next weekend! Watch this space for photos...

It's been a lovely day here at the workshop with wings absolutely everywhere as molly,rosa and i all competed for space at the wing workbench!! Glitter absolutely everywhere!!

Have an amazing weekend everyone!!! Sunshine and sparkly happy wishes all round!! xx

Post-holiday update...

2008-05-07T13:05:00.000+01:00

Hello fairies,

I'm adjusting to life back in the office after my fantastic road trip adventure with Mella and Morris. We packed so much into 6 days...including feeding the chickens at my mum and dad's house! I've got a bit of a post-holiday cold, so my sinuses are aching...but the sunshine is helping. I've been catching up with all my emails and cracking on with some wing orders too...the wing board is looking fuller than ever at the moment!

I'm settling in well to my new little flat...and LOVE being able to commute (walk!) to work in my slippers with a cup of tea! I've been planting sweet peas and everything...though my skills as a green-fingered fairy don't have a brilliant track-record. But fingers crossed for flowers in abundance. Right, better get my glittery fingers back to the winging... xxx

New part time fairy and more big wings!!!

2008-05-02T15:07:00.000+01:00

I am working on another huge pair of 8 panel wings...Have finished the canvases but think i will leave the glittering for next week!! Spent a good deal of yesterday in the sunshine in the vegie garden planting beetroot and lettuce and listening to the chooks (aussie for chickens) happily clucking away!!! It's all happy fairy farms round here!

This is how she chose to spend her holiday and it was lovely to have her around...She was very shy about dressing up and asked me to pose for some photo's for her(i am not so shy!!!) and i really loved the pics she took...

Before she left the next day i told her it was definatley her turn!! I picked out an outfit for her and without too much arm twisting had her in it in a blink of an eye!!! oh my goddess,she looked drop dead gorgeous!!! We stepped outside to take some photo's and there was a beautiful rainbow awaiting her in the front yard!!! A bit of fairy magic showing her how gorgeous she is!!!!

Fay Fairy Woofing up a storm!

2008-04-24T14:34:00.000+01:00

Hey there world wide fairy's Fay Fairy here, i have been asked to give you all the low down on my week of woofing at Fairy Love HQ.
Well if I'm honest i did not know what to expect but nothing is as it seems here, i was asked on my first morning if i would lend a hand with poo packing! Fairy poo that is! an hour later i was elbow deep in glitter and chocolate and having a right old time of it. after that my poo day continued with the veggie patch mixing in cow poo this time and getting lovely and mucky to boot.
I having been having the time of my life glittering wing backs (which is allot harder than it looks) and sewing new ties on the curtains for the stall not to mention sorting out stacks of knickers ready to get funky designs printed on them.
Everyone is looking after me as if i am part of the Fairy family its amazing I'm not sure i want to go home, and my nights by the fire with the delicious Shelley Fairy will stay with me forever.
Any way I'm off to finish the curtains as Jason is going to teach me the fine art of Rainbow Halo making. I cant wait!
Take care - Fay Fairy xxx

Facebook and clear outs!

2008-04-22T14:30:00.000+01:00

Hey Fairies!

I've spent the last week or so tippy-tapping in Facebook world to help spread the word of Fairylove as far and wide as possible. Have been networking with loads of other fairy sites, festival sites and any other fairylove related peeps. It's been great contacting fairy people from all over the globe and hooking up.

Every morning theres a whole heap of replies to friendship requests and I have been mad busy replying to eveyone welcoming them into the Facebook Fairylove Family....spurred on by so many replies I went a bit crazy inviting loads and loads of potential fairylovers all in one go....all of a sudden......ooops!! Facebook have blocked our 'invite friend' feature. Bummer!

Oh, just whilst we'tre on facebook blah...rosa has just posted a couple of videos of Glitter Wrestling form last summer's festies..go take a look see! I can almost remeber that it was sunny once.

So........ this afternoon instead of tippy-tapping I'm gonna get stuck in to tidying the Cider Press under the office. this is a dumping ground for all the junk that gets generated form festies and whatever else is going on. There's a few dead bikes, broken mannequins, old sofas, and god knows what else. In fact I'll go down now and take a picture so you can get a before and after experience....it'll also encourage me to try to get it finished.

I'll get back to yous when it's been transformed.

PS Please feel free to join up to Fairylove Family on Facebook and spread the fairyluuurve!!

Amazing hen weekends and £400 wings...

2008-04-21T15:07:00.000+01:00

What a time we are having!!!

We had 10 delightful fairies here on the weekend for Jackies hen weekend...The friendliest fairies you ever did meet!!They all made gorgeous wings and had an absolute ball at fairy towers!!! They were a pleasure to have here,and once again feel like i have a whole group of new fairy friends....They all flew here from Jersey and 1 of them from Ireland!!

I have just raced to the post office to get a pair of wings in the post to be on the stage...We had a week to make them and Rosa bloom and i worked on 2 panels each...Our first joint glittering job!!! Got to the post office just in time to get them sent 24 hour parcel force...Phew!!! They were gorgeous and can't wait to see the pics of them in action on stage!!!

We have Fay fairy rocking up today to stay for a weeks fairy woofing!! She will be doing all kinds of fairy helpful things and probably getting her hands deep into some glitter! I am looking forward to my weekend which i will take sometime this week,now that jas is back from holidays...

Sunshiney Day

2008-04-15T12:56:00.000+01:00

Morning, kids...hope it's as sunnylicious where you are as it is here.
The broody duck is diligently sitting on her eggs in the floating duck house in the middle of the pond. A couple of times a day she sprints off the nest, runs up the grass quacking madly, scoffs a load of food, and then dashes back to the nest. Good on her! That's dedication for you. We'll get pics up here as soon as the little 'uns hatch, so keep your eyes peeled (mind you, we're not counting them yet...)

We've just managed to find a company who can print 100% biodegradable carrier bags for us! This is something we've been attempting to do for several years now, and it's only recently that it's become mainstream enough to be possible, so we're very excited, and hope that we can set a good example to other shops!

By the way there's only 10 days left to enter our competition...Name That Chicken!! There are four brilliant prizes of £25 vouchers for our online shop to be spent on whatever fairy goodies your heart desires! Check out the competitions page for details and to enter.

Thanks to Sarah Fairy for lending us 'He's Just Not That Into You!'. Shelley's finished it already, and I've started reading it now...it's a book that's well worth dipping into, even if you don't read it cover to cover. So get down the library/bookshop/internet and get a copy...I thought it would be a bit sexist and stupid, but it actually makes quite a lot of sense and leaves you feeling positive and in control!! Power to the girls! Got to be taken with a small pinch of salt, of course...but if anyone who's reading this has read it, get in touch and let us know what you think!

Fairy plumbers and rainbows galore...

2008-04-11T11:36:00.000+01:00

Was woken up by 3 plumbers this moring and let them into fairy towers wearing my pj's..Having a half day in the office today and then off to cheltenham to have a poke round the charity shops looking for dress-ups...Very much looking forward to some fairy down time.It looks like i am choosing 2 kittens this weekend to bring home to HQ,it's been a long time between cats so i am very excited!!! Have been getting lots of bespoke orders for top of the range wings (very big wings) so there must be something in the air....Sent 2 pairs of wings to japan yesterday,great to know that there are fairies everywhere!!!

The worshop is looking very cluttered in a colourful kind of way at the moment with lots of wings on the go!! We had a visit from gail fairy yesterday who bought us a load of gorgeous hand made corsets and flower headdresses...Keep an eye out on the website for a photoshoot soon!

So many rainbows around at the moment...Everyday we are having rainbows and had 2 days in a row when it was in the same place at the same time...Fairy magic and wishes all round....

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'...

2008-04-09T17:06:00.000+01:00

It's all rolling along pretty nicely in the Fairylove office at the moment - it feels like we're getting lots done and getting really prepared for the hectic Summer season ahead. It's getting towards that time of year when it feels a bit like there just aren't enough hours in the day!

Oooh, and the latest exciting news is that I've opened a Fairylove shop on Etsy! I think I've mentioned it before - it's a brilliant website a bit like eBay but just for handmade items. It is completely addictive, because it's so full of beautiful things...it would be so easy to spend a lot of time and money on there. Click here to see our shop up there...there's only a few pairs of wings and a couple of necklaces (like the one on the left) but we'll be adding loads more stuff soon. It's a great chance for us to get really creative making new things!

Woohoo I'm going to see Giffords Circus next month...it's the most delightful little family-run traditional circus that tours the UK every year. The costumes are always a real treat!

Fairylove gearing up for a ripsnorter!!!!

2008-04-08T15:13:00.000+01:00

Shelley fairy reporting after an amazing weekend full of lovely fairies at our interview weekend!!! Such a tricky choice...We had such a fantastic team last year and the vibe was very fairylove family....i mean just look at us!!!

So really looking forward to seeing what the new team will look and feel like...Just putting our new roster together,which will be made up of new and old fairylove members! All is feeling pretty amazing here at fairy towers with lots of exciting things on the boil in the fairy pot!! Energy feels really high and happy and there is good news in the air..I am loving my job and spending nights singing and doing up the manor...i dressed the newly painted snug last night (where i spend my nights cosying up to the wood burner) and it is now called the sexy room...
Great news last night that hamish fairy has quit his job and is coming on board with fairylove for the summer!!!Amazing!!! I can feel a bloody rippa coming on!!

Phew, what a weekend! We had 12 would be fairies come and stay with us at fairylove HQ for the weekend. Loads and loads of dress ups, lots of creative imagination and soooo many cakes!!
If you want to find out who came and what they thought about the weekend by clicking here.

Things are definatly beginning to speed up as the festie season approaches. Rosa, as you might know is moving on to pastures new in October so we have to climb inside her head and pull out all the relevent information we may need to know on all the bits she does for us. Could get messy in there......eek!

We'll be needing a fairy apprentice from that time so if you are fantastic, brilliant, amazing or know someone who is then drop us a line and find out how to apply for the best job in the world.

Blustery Day at Fairy Towers

2008-04-01T16:14:00.001+01:00

Rosa Fairy here. It's been a windy old day at Fairy Towers today...Winnie the Pooh weather, as Jason put it. I've been putting the finishing touches to some wings today - soon they will be winging their way to their new fairy owners!

I recently made my first ever pair of Top of The Range wings, a rite of passage for any fairy wing-maker! We were sent a drawing from a fairy who wanted us to make her wedding wings.
I pondered over the drawing for a few days before building up the courage to go for it, and the wings were several weeks in the making...but I was delighted with the result!

This afternoon we have a visitor due to arrive, who is getting the train all the way from Cambridge (which is a long long way away) just to come and buy some wings! Now that's dedication for you...

More Playmates & Fairylove HQ news

2008-03-31T15:38:00.000+01:00

Hey Fairies!

We've just updated our Playmates again. Our current Playmates our seen here transforming themselves..(yes, two at a time now!)..on Brighton Beach.
Head for the Playmates section of the site and don't forget to cast your vote again. These fairies need your support!

We just had an amazing weekend at Fairylove HQ. We invited a load of friends up to HQ to help with a bit of house preparations. Lots and lots of painting.........especial thanks goes to Matty and Sarah for the kitchen & breakfast room,
Emma and Mark for the glitter room, and Shelley and Rosa did a great job on assorted other rooms including a beautiful transformation of downstairs dunny!

We've had a chicken house sitting around doing nothing for over two years. Finally with the help of fairy friends, we at last got around to building a chicken run. Martin, aka Psycho Bunny, Jason, aka Evil Boss Fairy, and Tom, aka Super Fairy did the most amazing job of building a structure that absolutely no predator could penetrate. I think it might even be able to be used as a Guantanmo Bay overspill. Our first resident who appeared strangely overnight did not much resemble an egg laying chicken...

Another satisfied customer!

2008-03-28T16:26:00.001Z

These amazing wings were today united with their fairy owner. They were ordered by childrens' novelist Lee Weatherly.
Lee is just about to go on a tour to promote her new book, Glitterwings Academy.

Shelley reckons that these fairy wings are one of the finest pairs she has ever made! There are eight separate wing panels and the massive wing span makes them look incredibly realistic. Lee looked like she was going to take off at any minute!

Lee came to pick up her fairy wings at Fairylove HQ, staying the night in the newly refurbished Fairylove B&B suite. The four poster bed is now fully draped in rainbow organza curtains.

Rosa in da office!

2008-03-27T14:18:00.000Z

Hello, Rosa fairy here. Well nothing ever stays the same for very long round here...there are all sorts of changes going on in the world of Fairylove as always. I have just handed in my notice for the house I'm living in at the moment, so will be moving out in a month's time, into the flat that Jason has been living in next door to Fairylove HQ...he's just moved out to a house in Hereford...as I said, nothing stays the same for long round here!! My big news is that I have set a date for leaving Fairylove - 31st October - which will be exactly 3 years to the day since I first came to work for Fairylove as a fairy apprentice!

I had a near wing-disaster yesterday, after I accidentally used some dodgy glue that we bought by mistake, and it dripped all over the wings, and I then spent ages trying to mop it up with cotton buds, but it was just spreading and spreading...so eventually, after much help and advice from Shelley and Jason, we decided to rinse the whole wings under a running tap, to get all the wet glue off...which seemed to work amazingly well without damaging any of the existing glitter decoration! Woohoo...the wings now look as if nothing ever went wrong. Phew.

We've got the lovely Kathy Laffy Fairy here for a couple of nights...in fact she is sitting across from me packing up bags of Fairy Poo as I write this!

I found this photo the other day when I was sorting through a load of stuff in my old room at my parents' house...it's a photo of me in the Fairylove stall in 2001, at Womad Festival, the first time I properly met Shelley and Jason! I look quite shy don't I...

Shelley Speaks!

2008-03-19T10:07:00.000Z

Hi everyone..it's Shelley!!

I am back from fairy travels abroad and happily settled back into Fairylove HQ...I had an amazing time away, Australia was incredible!! I spent 9 days back up at Wanganui and had beautiful waterfalls everyday,surrounded by rainbows...there had been so much rain and the waterfall was full to pumping!!

To get underneath is to feel gloriously alive and full of life!! On my last night there was huge rains and on trying to get back into the hills to retrieve my bags so I could get on a plane the next morning, I was nearly washed off the side of a raging causeway!! Glad to still be alive,think the fairies were watching out for me!!

We had our 3rd Free Your Fairy on the weekend and it was fantastic...

A delightful group of fairies came and made wings,did yoga,sang and dressed up and ate gorgeous food all weekend long and there were some firm friendships forged!!! fairy power grows ever stronger!!

Lots going on here at fairy towers with ordering and organising for our summer season gets fully under way...some big wings being made in the fairy workshop and all us fairies are beavering away!!!! off to yoga now kisses to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tom Fairy - New Fairy Flaymate loaded

2008-03-12T16:16:00.000Z

Fairylove freind Tom from New Zealand today debuts as a Fairylove Playmate!

Tom took to our Playmate photoshoot likes a duck to water. We think he makes an amazing Fairy Playmate, and should he ever give up his day job, we believe he'd go far in the world of catalogue modelling. Cheeky smile, great abs for the underpants shoots and the camera loves him!!

Make sure you login and go vote for Tom in the Fairy Playmates hierarchy of fame.

Tom also features in our first fairylove film clip..The Adventures of Superfairy! this is still in the cutting room as here in the office we are still flat out organising, organising, organising.

Shelley has spent a good part of the day re-vamping the fairylove showroom in readiness for the weekend's course. Looking spectatcular!
Make an appointment and come and see for yourselves..we'd love to meet you of course!

In workshop world we're struggling with the new grade of wing wire......only in trained hands of a fairy wing making expert would anyone notice that the grade of steel is just slightly too soft. You have no idea how hard it is to get the right materials for top of the range wings!

Jason Fairy (me) slowly taking on board the enormity of becoming a father. Very much into the 'what are we going to call the baby?' stage now as relatives voy for pole position with names. Rachael's (fairy mum to be) latest suggestion is Moses......Mmmm sounds like a basket case to me. Still 3 months to go till baby birthday, and all well. Handing over to Shelley or Rosa for next blog..................

Shelley Fairy returns from overseas.

Shelley is now back in the fairy fold after a long trip back to Oz and to Fairyland to organise this summer festies's new range of items.

We're going to be expanding on our range of frilly knickers!! We are making our own range and are going to this summmers hottest item!

As always the bustle tutus are just getting better and better with a new range of colours.

If you didn't already know there's a new UK based fairy magazine been launched. We've got a bit of a feature in the latest addition. Click here for details of Fae magazine

Today in the office we were trying to work out the volume calculation in mm cubed and how to covert this into a volume measurements im m's cubed. Massive brain ache and abysmal failure...too long since any of us did any srerious maths. Answers on an e-mail please.

Our gay ducks seem to be adjusting a bit to having some girls on the pond and are seeming a little more adventurous now that it's turned wet again. Great weather for ducks...not for fairies!

This weekend we have our fourth Free Your Fairy weekend and we have a journalist coming from Spirit and Destiny magazine to come and take part and do a review so we'll all be on best fairy behaviour. Rushing around HQ tidying up and getting ready...doesn't seem much time left to make wings these days.

Staff wanted !

Hey-Ho fairies!

We are now recruiting for Summer sales staff for the festies!

Yesterdays mail out went wingin'it's way into cyber space last night. we've asked for everybody to give us some feedback about our Fairylove Playmates and to enter the caption competition so we wait with baited breath the creative flourishes from the Fairylove Family.

Shelley has one more week overseas organising the new stock for this year's summer festies....all sounding very exciting. This year we will be launching a new range of fairylove corsetry and fairy bloomers. Raining hard in fairyland, but Shelley sounds like she's still managing to get a daily massage around the pool into her working schedule. Tough at the top for Shelley Fairy.

I'm so glad I'm here in the freezing cold office. Still, I'm glad I'm not a duck. It's been so cold here recently, the ducks got their feet frozen into the pond. Couldn't move for hours. Nasty.

Preparations for the next Free Your Fairy course are well under way despite some nasty flooding to one of the bathrooms at Fairylove HQ. We've now got some rather alien like looking growths that we will tackling this weekend.
