Ceiling by David Wiseman

I am extremely taken with the beautifully organic interior installations of American artist David Wiseman. Working in porcelain, plaster and bronze he creates ceilings, chandeliers, wall art and other home accents inspired by the natural world that are just dripping with Faerie Glamour!

This cute little greenhouse kit contains everything you need to grow your own indoor fairy garden.

Magic Moonshadows

There is something quite magical about stained glass, and the creations of Magic Moonshadows are no exception. The stunning fantasy designs utilise fabulous jewel-like glass and some incorporate slices of agate, crystals and fossils. The artist Cynthia King makes full windows for installation in buildings, as well as gorgeous hanging panels, sun catchers, mirrors and metal sculptures with glass wings.

Low Impact ‘Hobbit’ House

Low Impact 'Hobbit' House

Inspiring in so many ways. this is a real family home built into a wooded hillside in Wales. It was constructed (by hand!) with maximum regard for the environment using natural and salvaged materials. The wonderful organic shapes and closeness to nature alone would make all the labour worth while, but when you factor in the £3000 costs it really puts things into perspective. Definitely a faerie friendly way to live!

Fairy Tale Bathroom Sink

Fairy Tale Sink

From Elise Bath comes this stunning Fairy Tale pedestal sink. The base is cast from solid bronze using the lost wax method, making each on a unique work of art. The pedestal takes the form of a tree trunk, with a fairy nestling in a hollow. Surely a luxurious statement in bathroom style, although I think you’ll probably need a Fairy Tale castle to put it in!

The Fairy Kingdom

September 14th, 2007

The Fairy Kingdom

From a workshop at the bottom of her garden, Catherine Henchie brings The Fairy Kingdom that little bit closer with her wonderful range of Fairy doors and houses. The doors are made from reclaimed timber and are delightfully quirky with lots of different designs. The houses are quite magical, with all the little details like wooden shingle roofs and frosted glass windows. There are also a range of accessories and furniture available, and best of all – Fairy footstep stencils (I’m sure it wouldn’t be considered cheating!). Doors can be personalised, or Catherine can build a special Faerie house just for you.

Mushroom Wall Shelves

Mushroom Shelves

Now normally fungi growing on your walls would be a cause for concern, however with these fabulous wall shelves you can achieve a splendidly forest-like look, but without the damp. The shelves are carved from Basswood and priced at $60 for the medium size and $75 for the large. From The Curiosity Shoppe, who also sell lots of other mushroom and forest inspired bits and pieces.

To Sleep Beneath the Leaves

Bed by Shawn Lovell

If you don’t have the climate for sleeping under real trees every night, you may be tempted by this beautiful four-poster bed. Made in metal by Shawn Lovell, it is extremely limited edition and comes with a correspondingly hefty price tag… but we can dream!

Market Hill – Fine Fairy Houses

June 26th, 2007

Fairy House from Market Hill

A one stop source for Fairy gardening supplies, Market Hill carries a nice selection of weather-proof fairy houses, accessories and tools to transform your patch into a wonderland. There is also a variety of other faerie related gifts to chose from – I particularly like the unusual stained glass fairy house night lights made by artist Suzanne Nicole.
