Shannon Pot - Exploring Sacred Faerie Sites and Mythological Sources. County Cavan, Ireland. (c) 2012 - photography by Leaf McGowan, technogypsie.com. The Shannon Pot is rich in folklore with many myths surrounding the origins of this wonderful place. One such legend tells the story of a young girl who was tempted to eat from the forbidden "tree of knowledge" that the magical druids had planted at the site. However, as she bit into the fruit a huge fountain of water sprang up, drowning the young girl and eventually cutting a swathe of water throughout the countryside. The girls name was Sionnon or Shannon and gives her name to the river that today continues to flow from this source.

I had a very special new addition to my tiny resin family arrive yesterday. Isn't she beautiful!
I've had a love affair with this girl since I discovered BJDs, and I couldn't believe my luck when I had the opportunity to adopt her recently.
She is my little faerie, she tells me she is most comfortable in amongst the flowers and the woodlands, but she is happy to be here all the same. I shall have to see what I can do to make her feel at home here.
She hasn't yet whispered her name to me. I think that will come when she truely feels at home, so we shall wait...
Thank you so much Emilie for letting me adopt her! She is just wonderful :)
Holly Faerie is a OOAK beaded art doll. She is bal-jointed and has 13 points of articulation. She is made of Japanese glass seed beads, organic cotton thread & fiber fill, ahimsa silk thread, and Swarovski pearls. She is about 9 inches tall. There is a lot of interesting lore about the holly plant, I posted a little about that on my website, if anyone wants to read it, here is the link: faeriedustdolls.wordpress.com/2015/08/17/holly-faerie/
Who knew? Seems everyone is wearing them these days. I suppose they make the clumsy learning-to-fly, kid faerie landings a bit cushier.

Participated in a burlesque event Friday on the theme "A Midsummer Nights Dream". This is what I wore. I didn't in any way stand out from the crowd, I was pretty conservatively dressed compared to most actually. :)
