I still have the mark on the end of my nose,
Footprints from the fairy`s toes,
I think they`re speckled,
But some say they`re freckled.
There was a fairy on my nose!

With perfect timing of ghosts ghoulies and dark imagination I have just received the most wonderful Halloween book gift, from the author Jasmine Becket-Griffith a long time artist friend whom I have greatly admired from the start of her breathtaking career in Gothic Art. Not a book for the lighthearted but for anyone who appreciates Art in all its forms, this book is a triumph for Contemporary Artists that exposes every facet, with every continent and artistic medium represented it is an unique vision of the Gothic asthetic of dark disturbing appeal and a sure fire winner for artists that deserve mainstream recognition.
“Thank you Jasmine, keep dancing in the Dark! Congratulations”

“Every child is a Fairy deserving an enchanted childhood, my picture shocks even me, yet this is reality and is happening now in the 21st century. Please take a moment to take in such horror and allow your conscience to stop this happening. A regular donation to Save the Children will help to ease the pain and suffering of children, the fairies of our world.”

The UN are meeting on 25 September 2008 to discuss the goals they set to tackle poverty. We want them to 'get on track' with their goal to cut child deaths by two-thirds by 2015. Progress on this goal has been slow – 10 million children still die every year, mostly from preventable causes. That's appalling.
We want you to join tens of thousands of people around the world who are demanding that the UN uses this meeting to 'get on track' to stop millions of child deaths. At the current rate the goal won't be met until 2045. That's an unacceptable 30 years late!
Add your voice by sending a message to the UK's Ambassador to the UN, urging him to make sure the September meeting results in concrete actions to cut child deaths, not more missed opportunities.
Recently returned from the Ireland Show in USA to his studio in Dorset and the Gallery of Secrets, owned by Peter Stone Jewellery, the producer of magnificent sterling silver and gold faerie Jewellery and Courtney Davis, world famous Celtic artist Courtney Davis and author of over 50 books on the subject published over the last thirty years, is considered the greatest living authority on Celtic Art in modern times. He speaks enthusiastically about the ever increasing demand for his work, surprised at the prices some of his originals previously held in private collections are fetching now at auction, it is evident that the upsurge of interest by over 38 million Americans with Irish ancestry searching for their Celtic roots and the folklore that surrounds their origins of their families is pushing the demand for Courtney’s work as highly desirable and into important collections throughout the USA. ” I have so much to do and just not enough time ” is how Courtney summed it up , clearly a man whose original work is in greater demand than ever. I asked him about the new licensing and manufacturing deals that I had heard about with a major fashion house and airline but it seems for the moment he was not ready to divulge too much information. It seems we are going to see a lot more of Courtney’s work in the Celtic boom ahead.
BBC Radio Northampton Radio producer Julia Morgan a lover of fairies herself and with her own fairy grotto in her garden was looking for others with a similar passion was delighted to find help from David Riche with Fairies World so close by.

We are so glad that spring is at last chasing away the winter bugs and
that Aimee is recovered from all the bugs that took up residence last
month. She is making good progress with the immunosuppressant which
we hope will be stopped in a week or two. that will make such a
difference as we have travelled almost 2000 miles between Dundee and
Glasgowover the last few weeks as the doctors have kept a close eye
on all the bugs, the graft versus host disease and her blood counts.
Our greatest piece of news though is the arrival of Princess Emma – a
gorgeous little Yorkshire terrier pup who we have all become so very
much attached too. things have been going well and Emma has settled
in well – but – the poor mite suffered an accident a week ago when
Emma took a bad fall and broke both her front legs. ! She has had her
operation and is now at home where she is the focus of a 24/7 delivery
of TLC led my Aimee who has hardly left her side. Aimee is really the
only one who will let Emma feed her. The vet thinks that if all goes
well in the next few days Emma will be able to have her bandages off .
So we hope you like the photo of Aimee and Emma which was taken before
her accident when we visited the Scottish Yorkshire Terrier club – we
four are now five
Stumble it!
