Meet the Faeries
Every faerie has a special story about how she or he came to be. These are some of those stories…
Pixie
Pixie was a true labor of love. I was honored to be commissioned to create a faerie to be the physical embodiment of an actual faerie guide. Pixie required a bit of extra time as I searched for the perfect vintage hankie in blue, sourced the requested hair color and worked to create wings in the requested shade. Pixie brings many messages to her human daily. She offers a reminder to trust your intuition and vision for your future.
Dandelion
Dandelion makes her home at Babcock Manor. She was born during the magical energy of the summer solstice. I often find her enjoying a summer day sitting in flower boxes watching the butterflies dancing in the air. She tells me her most favorite moments are spent in flight skimming over the creek that runs in the faerie wood. Dandelion rises early in the morning to greet the sun, just as it begins to edge over the horizon. She is delighted when rain falls during the evening, as she loves to sip raindrops off the leaves of the hydrangeas. She bestows her magic upon every living creature that calls the Manor home.
Daphne
Daphne is a special little faerie who decided she needed to join a lovely elderly lady whose memories of magic was fading away. Daphne was waiting patiently for me to notice her as I was wandering in the faerie wood. I nearly missed her call. She was needed to be the keeper of memories. She is a quiet little faerie who loves to sit and watch her sweet lady color. She asks little for herself and just wished to be the perfect companion. There is a simple blessing in sending a gentle faerie to remind someone that they are loved, they matter and magic is always with them.
Esme
Esme is one of the wise women of the faerie wood. She is as old as time itself. She watched the Manor built and often tells me that 1836 seems like it was just yesterday. As a young faerie she danced with the children who called Babcock Manor home. When night fell she sat on their pillows guarding the children from any bad dreams. She hid from adults along the little dog figurines the children collected. She has seen many children run and play in her woods. Time has aged her and her wings do not carry her as far as they once did. She misses the children playing in the wood. Esme is quieter now only sharing her wisdom when needed. We pass time together in this place we both love so much sipping tea and listening to the birds sing.
Rohana
Rohana traveled to Oregon to live with a wise woman and dance among her fields of sunflowers. Rohana is an ancient sage whose name means seeker of the path. She called the land of the Celts her home. She guided the Druids, watched the Roman Empire fall, and offered her magic to all in need. She followed a tiny group of faeries to the shores of Lake Erie and settle in to share her wisdom among the Wise Women of the Faerie Wood. She lingered for over a hundred years until she found where she was needed. She has a home now and can be found dancing in the light of every full moon.
Maura
Maura is most fond of hiding amongst the stemware at Babcock Manor. She tended to tease the Bengals before she left for her new home. I knew she would be busy causing mischief at her new home when I found her rearranging the glasses to her liking. Maura was created as a gift for a young woman beginning her career. Maura kept her from feeling a bit lost in her new office by reminding her that life is an adventure. Apparently, Maura took her mischievous ways with her to the office. Her favorite thing to do when the humans are away, is to create paper clip chains.
Terrwyn
Terrwyn is one of the oldest faeries to call Babcock Manor home. She was born when time was new and faerie tribes had yet to unite. She is a rare hawk-rider faerie, and was once a fierce warrior. As peace settled in the faerie tribes, she became the guardian of the faerie wood, and eventually Babcock Manor. She sits high in the tree tops on her favorite hawk Qila, watching and waiting. In the early morning, Terrwyn is often seen soaring with the hawks that make their homes in the treetops. She had hoped other hawk riders would find their way to her, as she misses soaring with her sisters. But for now she flies alone hoping the day will come when another hawk rider will join her.
Aurora
Aurora was created for a wonderful woman who herself sees into the magical realms. Aurora was a chatty little faerie full of stories with a fondness for oracle and Tarot cards. She insisted on a pink dress. She was rather anxious to be on her way to her new home but not happy about the mode of travel to get her there. Upon arriving she informed her human that she was not fond of traveling in a box. Aurora is not afraid to speak her truth.

I am ever creating faeries. Every faerie is created uniquely, by hand, one at a time. I make faeries to order and would love to make a very special one just for you!
