"The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it" ~Albert Einstein
Hello. I am delighted you stopped by. Please join me for some virtual tea and virtual chocolate chip cookies.
Personal
So, I need to tell you some things about myself …hmmm.
It is really very difficult to start…trying to figure out where to begin and what you’d like to know. As I write this, I am listening to music…”Layla”-both versions by Eric Clapton and Loreena McKennitt, my favorite. So, maybe music is a good place to start…. I adore almost all types of music with some exceptions. Last week Cab Calloway’s “Minnie the Moocher” from the 1920’s was on my hit parade.
When I was a child and up into my teens, I had an operatic voice. I was a HIGH soprano. I could hit that high C note with ease. I never broke glass, though… I tried… but, never did. My parents had me take lessons. I loved singing, but hated to perform. I got physically sick before each performance. My parents, very loving and so wise, said if it did not give me pleasure, then stop. So, I did and never felt such relief. Now, sadly, I sound like a croaking frog when I sing. As Universal Law teaches us… with any gift bestowed upon you, if you do not use it and care for it, you lose it.
Odd, though, I adore pubic speaking. I have no fear whatsoever. I could be asked to speak at the Astrodome without warning and speak in front of thousands on any subject with ease and no nervousness at all. But, performing…eek!
Would you like more tea?
I am a Connecticut native and Connecticut and New England will always be my favorites. Right now I am living in Planet Texas with plans to move elsewhere. I have been here awhile but, I still feel like a triangle who will never fit into the square, no matter how hard people try to fit me into it.
To spark your interest; here are some tidbits about me:
I…. am an intuitive thinker; am psychic; liberal; can communicate telepathically with non humans, i.e. animals; work for animal rights, but am not an activist (I deplore violence of any kind); can communicate with humans and animals who have passed from this physical plane to the spiritual one, as well as elementals; have a photographic memory for the written and spoken word and for the visual; am an old soul who was part of the ancient mysteries; have healing hands; was born on leap year on a Thursday; love to garden; do T’ai Chi; am writing a book about mushrooms; am an artist, poet, and writer; write haikus; create miniatures, doll dioramas, and make doll stuff; am working on my PhD; have never had or participated in a blog, forum, flkr or the like…electronics are not my forte and I am very uncomfortable using them; and I own two shops on Etsy….Enchanticals.etsy.com and LunasLoot.etsy.com.
Business
I have, as I just mentioned, two shops on Etsy: Enchanticals.etsy.com and LunasLoot.etsy.com, plus I sell on eBay-Auctions- under the name of theartsyterrier.
Enchanticals is…
The place where enchantment resides…along with fantasy, imagination, creativity, magic, mystery, and lore. To enter, simply suspend your realities and drift through the myst and fog. Enchantment is always afoot at Enchanticals.
At Enchanticals you will find…
All kinds of enchanted handmade one-of-a kind creations such as miniature wizard/witch/faerie hutches and other furniture, wizard and faerie miniature bottles of potients, elixirs, and the like, elementals’ bottles, enchanted wands, miniatures, fashion doll vanities, and much more…
My handmade creations are made one at a time. There is no assembly line in my workshop. I keep no written recipes for paint colors or directions on how I made a certain item. That is why they are truly unique and one-of-a-kind.
In some of my listing for my handmade pieces, I begin with a little story. These stories are fiction and do not reflect actual facts. They are from my enchanted imagination. However, the details and descriptions about my handmade pieces are true and represent the actual details of the item(s) for sale.
I am a proud member of these fabulous Etsy teams:
* Dolls and Miniatures (DAM) Team
* Fantasy Artists of Etsy (FAE) Team
* MiniMakers Team
Four of my handmade enchanted creations have been featured on different Etsy Treasurys. A Treasury is a hand picked group of artistic creations which are showcased. It is an honor to be chosen by another artist on Etsy, who has a theme in mind, and then picks artistic creations by different artists in all mediums that fit her/his theme from among the entire artist community on Etsy.
LunasLoot is…
A treasure chest of… “Supplies Galore” to spark your creativity and imagination and high end “Vintage Goodies” to enchant and delight you.
At LunasLoot you will find…
• Supplies Galore for all types of crafts, art, collages, scrapbooking, sewing, altered art, etc. Most are vintage.
• Buttons, buttons, buttons, and more buttons ~ my lifelong love affair with buttons has resulted in my amassing a cache of buttons far too expansive for me alone to ever use, so I am selling some of them.
* Ephemera of all kinds …
• Vintage Goodies ~ A Bit ‘O This ‘n A Bit ‘O That… but really neat!
So, I invite you to visit, browse, and shop at Enchanticals.etsy.com and LunasLoot.etsy.com. Stay as long as you like and enjoy your stay.
And while there, let your creativity, imagination, and ideas run wild.
And remember; leave your reality and seriousness at the door.
I adore reading, especially books. I only read books that you hold in your hand, can smell the paper, feel the words, and touch the binding, not online versions. Since I am a voracious reader, there are really far too many authors and subjects to list.
Natures Splendour
When winters cold shadows are gone.
With wide open eyes from now on.
Invite the soft bright sunlight in.
To stir the soul lying deep within.
Stretch out your hands, and touch with finger tips.
The beauty of flowers, where the honeybee sips.
Then look around you, at the astonishing view.
Nature is evolving it's splendour for you.
So take her hand gently, and smile into her eyes.
Turn to the east, drink in the sunrise.
Wrap your arms around her, to make her heart sing.
Then whisper softly, it's spring, It's Spring
~Have a wonderful & magical weekend !! Blessings Balor~
The Lady of Spring has arrived on the Earth In the mountains and valleys I hear her call
Encouraging all to bloom by her touch
The touch of the warmest wind
I see her moving over the Earth
Over the melting ice and snow
Her green dress spreads across the land
Encouraging all to grow
She travels the hardest path there is
Through the darkness of our hearts
Through the winter´s ghostly grasp
She gives you a flower of light
We welcome Ostara, the Lady of Spring
May hearts be open to recieve her gifts
The gifts of growth, beginnings and hope
In our hearts and beyond!
Have a wonderful Ostara & Spring Equinox !! Many blessings to you & yours my friend !!
EARTHDREAM
I feel earth drums deep in the mountain's feet;
Compelling rhythm driving from the core.
I quicken to the flow of molten heat,
and sing with earth song felt in granite's roar.
And overhead, elusive secrets heard
in rushing air, bright lightning's stormy ring.
The wisdom of the dragon, cloud and bird
I hear in wind, and see in eagle's wing.
A roaring flame will dance and show it's gaze
and speak with firey language, spark and smoke.
My needful spirit feeds upon this blaze
and feeds the source with rowan, ash and oak.
The swelling ocean, graced with moon's soft kiss
will heal and bathe the heart within it's wake.
The clear blue source of flowing feeling's bliss
is found in winding stream, dark pool and lake.
This dream surrounds and makes our spirits one.
Learn from the Earth, her smile, her forests green;
To watch and listen, feel the visions come,
to find the center, find the worlds between.
Have a magical and peace filled weekend !! ~ Luv & Blessings Balor ~
In magic realms, There exists a truth,
We forever searching,
In realms above,
Looking for this truth perfect,
Our mortal lives to reflect,
Upon the past,
We must let go,
To be re-born in the present,
The here and now,
Our journey through life,
Is all but a dream,
A blink of an eye,
In the great cosmic scheme,
In outer realms,
The search for perfection,
We will never find,
It's only a figment,
In our mind,
This is the truth,
We must all realise,
Until we reach inner realms,
Where pure love and truth abide,
So seek not dear traveller,
Through time and space,
Accept what has been given,
With good grace,
For life is a cycle of re-birth,
Only hope exists,
In our lives on earth.
~Have a Wonderful & Blessed week dear one !! Hugs & Blessings Balor ~
