About my Cajun Fairies

I use a pre-made 10 inch muslin doll to dress my Cajun Fairies.

I'll have some new  Cajun Fairies on ebay soon.  :)

I have a process in which I re-stuff the doll and strengthen them with more muslin to make my Cajun Fairies firm and bendable.

• Their gossamer wings are made from white tulle. Each Fairy carries a bag of Cajun Fairy Powder, not dust, and has her own silver magic wand made from a silver pipe cleaner.Each bag of Fairy Powder is made by me, and the fairies come posed on their own doll stand.
  All of the Cajun Fairies love crawfish, crabs, sea horses, star fish, sand dollars, Mardi Gras beads, hot sauce and pinecones. They collect marbles. I don't know why, but they love marbles. Maybe because they're shiny.

You can tell a Cajun Fairy by their eyes!

From the stories I heard, the old-folk said they saw them with shiny eyes,
and what they described as a black antenna between the eyes, but they were small folk and human in form. Some saw them with what they described as copper eyes, some as nickel eyes, and others said they saw glass eyes. It's the eyes that most folks were stunned about. But, all of them said the Cajun Fairies had white hair.

• I designed my Cajun Fairies around what I heard being described.
  I have no "one way" to dress my fairies.
  They all have the shinny eyes and black antenna that I heard described, along with the white hair. Other than that, I pick up a piece of fabric and other things I have in my stash of stuff and dress the Cajun Fairy.
  Each fairy is different because of the eclectic way I dress them.

Folk-lore has it that the good Cajun Fairies can hear the voices of souls who have passed away to the other side. When a dearly departed soul speaks to a good Cajun fairy, they fly to the aid of the loved one who is still on this Earthly plane.

• Good Cajun Fairies are extremely positive beings.

Called the feufollet in French, the Cajun Fairy legend started along the bayous of Louisianafrom people seeing a ball of fire shooting out into the night sky from the swamps.

The lights were known as the will-o-the-wisp, fairies, spirits and sometimes the ghosts of loved ones. People didn't understand this ball of fire, and named it the feufollet, which means “foolish fire” in French, and said it was the soul of a new born baby who had died before being baptized, and it was lost. Everyone saw the fairies in a different way. I designed my fairies around the legends I heard about their eyes.

About wicked fairies? Yes, they do exist! In the book, Robes Pierre was the wicked one, but I don't make any wicked fairies!
There's enough evilness in the world without spreading the energy of a wicked Cajun Fairy. Hope that you never meet up with one.

All of the Good Cajun Fairies come from The Land of Sha Bebe.

They are different from EVERY other fairy in the world.

AND RAIN~!!!!!!!

It rained SO much today! How much? SIX inches in our next parish.  My street doesn't flood, but some streets in New Orleans will flood. Waiting for the news. It just didn't stop.

It was a good year this year with American Idol. I usually start watching and don't care to finish to the end to see who won, but this year, I got into it. *lol*

Both had great voices, but David Cook won.  :)

I'll be back later

Hope everyone is feeling good tonight.

I have been on here for only a year and so far have never had one whole week go by with no sales. WELL, this is the first week I see nothing in my sales column. We're in a REcession, and I'm SO not hoping that this time will end up in a DEpression. I've read about it, and it doesn't read too well.

Hoping all of you are having a good day so far.

Behind our bayouside house.  I love this scene. I was born about five houses away from this house. My brother and I played along the bayou side and in the sugar cane fields.  :)
