Mad Hatter Tea Party 4

Now this I loved , this  funky candle holder I got from Goodwill, and a metal candelabra style candle holder that fit into the ceramic candle holder.  I bought a pair  of the metal candelabra  ones at a yard sale. I put these together to make it  -- Mad Hatter perfect, so I just added flowers.

The guest of honor place setting. Blue willow vintage dishware, and coffee cup, single vintage red carnival glass sugar, with DIY rose water sugar cubes, quotes place cards, a special card deck paper flower, and special gift. All printed, and cut out by hand.  Limited edition Alice in Wonderland nail polish was the special gift. Matching the colors from the Movie with Jonny Depp playing the Mad Hatter.

Mad Hatter Tea Party , "2015 " DIY and Collectables - Photo's

These are items that I collected or DIY made.  For My Mad Hatter Tea Party. It took 2 months to prepare for this. It was a great undertaking by myself for the most part. But worth every minute.  This is the first of several blogs i did to show The results. The Bottle is one I saved back, and hand painted some flowers on.

This White Queen I found at Goodwill along with the other chess pieces. It must of been a patio chess set. they were  hand made possible too. They are made of ceramic.

These chess pieces I repainted a bit to match my theme.

Lewis Carroll, I found this tiny frame at a yard sale, I printed his photo off the internet.

The Red Queen also had some paint and the quote card I printed out as well along with many others for my table

This pretty paper flower and card I made. The cards can be printed of the computer I just searched for images I likes that fit my theme.

This is my rabbit hole. On the wooded trail there were lots of trees so we took branches formed a circle shape between two  trees along the path so you had to walk through to continue the journey. I marked it with print outs as well the entire trail is marked with cards before this rabbit hole. After you walk threw its all flowers fantasy flowers I made.

This is the arrow that points you threw the rabbit hole

This set  a bit past he entrance of the rabbit hole after you went through it marked a comer of to he trail.  I made both items here. The little door was a piece of wood I had already. I added a drawer pull I found at a shop. The potion bottle I had I just decorated it. The Quote card I  I used quote from the book.

This is the first direction when you enter the path at the very beginning of this adventure. Total trail length !/4 mile of wooded trail.   I printed this off the internet too.

A lovely hand made paper flower, I used buttons for the centers on all of them  

Here is a tube full of my flowers I think I made close to 200

Lots of beautiful paper flowers

I really loved these they came out spectacular. You can find DIY instructions on the internet , Pinterest, or even by print out kits on Esty, I got one.

Treasures of Tuatha De Danann

Gifts  to the people from the Tuatha De Danann

The Elemental gifts comprise of four directional energies and four ‘Faery Instruments.

The Four Treasures of the Tuatha De Danann, give you the ability to anchor these energies in the landscape as Matrices of light.

The Stone;

 is used to channel more directional energies. When working stone circles is to access memories and knowledge that are in the stone. Such stones can be used for fertility points to hold the energies in the earth so that the energy flows in the right direction.

The Sword;

 is used as an acupuncture needle and can be used with earth, air, fire, and water, depending on what work is required at a site and on which level it is required. It is used as a symbolic opening, or closing, of earth vortices. It can anchor solar light, open points beneath water, anchor solar energies in water or the land, etc. (Think of Arthur when he loosed the sword from the stone!) To my mind, he was showing that he was a proficient energy worker, and able to do this work of opening sacred places. It wasn’t a physical sword but an energetic one!

The Spear;

 is used as a channel for more directed energies. When a stone, which is supposed to act as a feeder stone, channelling solar energies into a stone circle, has been disrupted, the use of the spear can make the circle whole again by  binding together the stones as if all were still there and functioning as a whole.

The Cup, or Cauldron;

is the ‘holder’ of vital feminine energies in the landscape. It is the wisdom and knowledge of the Divine Feminine and the nurturing energies of water for healing and life.

The four treasures, which are ‘gifted’ to people are the Harp, the Pipe, the Drum and the Horn. Once you have received one of these gifts, in energetic form, you are then gifted with the ability to use their energies when doing earthwork. When you have received one of these gifts, you will find yourself using them without any conscious intention of doing so. When a site needs these energies you will see them happen, all by themselves. They  bring Nature back to a harmonious relationship with human beings.

Harp;

 It gives you the ability to change the vibration of atmospheres in nature.

The Pipe  ( Three holed flute)

is used to change the colour frequencies in certain locations

Putting a place of calm, healing nature where once was greed, power and destruction.

Horn;

Receiving the Horn is like getting the Elementals  phone number.

The Drum;

 is more earth - centered. It brings the deeper tones of the earth into balance

They remind you of your connection to the balancing forces of nature beneath your feet.

(Had to use a picture of the horn from Narnia)

Forests: Fables, Folk Stories and Fairytales

                               Forests; Fables, Folk Stories, and Fairytales

Most of our woodland here is of the evergreen variety; Fir, Cedar,  and Spruce. Real fairytale forests, where the light is dim and the ground is soft and velvety with mosses and deep, deep layers of dropped needles. There’s a kind of silence that’s very particular to a Coniferous forest. The low boughs and thick carpeting deadening any outside noise. All you’ll hear is the odd crack of a breaking branch or the call of a bird. There’s an atmosphere very specific to this type of woodland. For those who spent time alone in  a forest such as these they have seen what I've seen. Thus these truths were  created into story's. Stories  that are centered in forests are those where adventures unfold amongst the trees: 

The Wind in the Willows springs to mind. Who could resist the beautifully  - illustrated storybooks of childhood ; Jill Barklem’s -  Brambly Hedge books, Winnie the Pooh,  or The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,lets not forget Beatrice Potter.

My favorite forest in a story, Mid Summer Nights Dream, By William Shakespeare

A Midsummer Night's Dream

1935 ‧ Romance/Comedy ‧ 2h 25m   

watch it if you get a chance its magical.

Narnia

Something cold and soft was falling on her. A moment later (Lucy) found she was standing in the middle of a wood at night time with snow under her feet and snowflakes falling through the air.

C.S. Lewis (1950)

The Enchanted Wood

Loomed up big and dark. The trees spoke to  one another softly. Wisha, wisha, wisha," they said.

Enid Blyton "The Magical Faraway Tree (1943)

The Forbidden Forest  

They walked for nearly and hour, deeper and deeper into the forest, until the path almost  impossible to follow because the trees were so thick.

JK Rowling, Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone (1997)

The forests of Middle Earth

There was a silence, for suddenly the dark and unknown forest, so near at hand, made its self felt as a great brooding presence full of secret purpose.

JRR Tolkien, The Two Towers (1954)

Red Riding Hoods, wolf infested forest

She ran off the path into the woods looking for flowers. each time she picked one 

she thought she saw a more beautiful one a little ways away off and ran after it, going farther and farther into woods.

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm (1812)

The Forest of Wonderland

"Curious and Curiouser"

Lewis Carroll,  Alice in Wonderland (1865)

Sweet Fairy Photo

This photo I posted earlier,. It is truly amazing. I cropped it out of a larger image, and applied a blue filter so detail is easier to see. 

It appears to be two Fairy's, a boy, and a girl. I'm going off the type of clothes. It just looks sweet, and sensitive not sure what's going on, but I got the feeling of kindness between the two. I had sat in this location about forty minutes. This day was overcast, and quite dark in the forest. Very quiet that day but comfortable, and not to cold. I love this picture it's my second favorite that I've taken. Enjoy
