Hello everyone......We are so excited to have our little Fairy Furniture and Fairy House in Faerie Magazine's latest issue, the Summer issue, which just came out; (it's available at Barnes and Noble and Borders Books). We thought that they were going to just do a one page story, but when we got the magazine and found our article, it was 5 pages long!!! We were so thrilled. And it is such a wonderful article......the pictures (which we sent them) looked so nice the way they displayed them. So, we hope you will be able to see the feature story on us......it's really wonderful. There is also information in the article about ordering our new film "The Enchanted Treehouse, Keepers of the Old Tree" and our email address to contact us. Hope to hear from you. Our movie is available now to order; you can order it on our new blog: www.enchantedtreehousemovie.com. Hope you have a wonderful day!!

We have been working for nearly a year on our beautiful film called "The Enchanted Treehouse, Keepers of the Old Tree" and it is now nearly finished!!! Our sons are working on the music and the final editing now so the movie will be ready to purchase on August 4th!!! We are so excited!! It has been an interesting and unique experience working on this film, especially because it has been a wonderful family project......as we have worked on it with our sons Michael and Matthew. Matthew is an exciting filmmaker and did all the directing, filming and editing. He also helped with writing the story and did great voices for some of the characters. Michael is a wonderful composer and his beautiful music will be throughout the entire film. So, it has been a truely blessed experience making this film as a family. The story is about a little girl named Sarah who discovers an amazing, beautiful fairy-like house in the forest! She meets the curious and charming characters who live in this magical house and learns the story behind their surprising forest home. There are many wonderful and funny turns in the story and a mysterious ending. The credits even are filled with unusual creativity and humor!! If you are interested in purchasing our film, you can order it through my other blog at: http://beautiful-art.blogspot.com. The movie is $17.95 (with $4.00 shipping). It is over 45 minutes long and is a perfect film for anyone who has a great imagination and is a child at heart!! Hope you'll visit my blog to read more about it and see the photos. Will be adding short video clips of the movie there as well soon. You can also see a "trailer" about the movie on my blog, too!! "The Enchanted Treehouse, Keepers of the Old Tree" is an unusual, exciting and wonderful film that will surprise and delight you and touch your heart as well as amaze you withincredible artistry and beauty!!

Mike and I have always wanted to go to Ireland or England as we have ancestry from those wonderful countries. Mike is half Irish and I have lots of English ancestors. (We love learning about our family history!) We thought we'd put a post here about our love of these countries and how we would love to go there. As artists, it would be a dream come true to be able to go to Ireland, England or Scotland to work as artists......even if just for a month or two!! So, we thought we'd ask if anyone here at Enchanted Folk might be looking for the help of two wonderful artists!! Here's what we could do, although we're open to other ideas, too!

We would especially like to go to one (or all!) of the above countries to build our Fairy Treehouses.......for an organization, for a school, for a charitable group, for a museum or for a city project of some kind. We would gather materials from that country and create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind Fairy Treehouse that would be left there at the location chosen. We would especially love doing this kind of project to raise money to help children or people in dire situations, but even just to beautify and bring joy to others would be an opportunity that would be such a blessing for us!!

We would also love to teach art at a school.......Help run a gallery, shop or museum...... Help with a traveling art exhibit (would also be interested in doing this with our own nature art, of course).......Work in art therapy........Work as assistants to other artists......and I'm sure there are other ideas as well. We love using our talents and creativity to help others and would so love the chance to go to England, Ireland or Scotland to work in the art field in some way.

Please contact us if you have such an opportunity. We would be happy to send you our resumes, references, ideas, etc.

We are so excited to share with you about our new movie!! It is called "The enchanted Treehouse"! It is about a little girl who discovers a magical fairy-like house in the forest! She meets the curious and charming little people who live there and hears the enchanting story about this wonderful forest home. Then the characters who live there show her the many beautiful and amazing rooms of the forest home. Many delightful surprises are everywhere and a mysterious ending. Our movie will be available August 4th and can be purchased at that time from our website at: www.enchantedtreehousemovie.com or you can email us at: enchantedtreehousefilms@yahoo.com. The movie is 45 minutes long with some funny and curious credits at the end. We are so excited. We have been working on it for almost a year. What is really exciting about it is that we've been able to work with our two sons on the movie......our younger son is a filmmaker and our older son is a composer so it is truely a wonderful, family project!! (There are other people involved, too, of course). So, hope you will visit our website and my blog (http://beautiful-art.blogspot.com) to see more information about our wonderful new movie!!!

Would love to hear from you!! Have a beautiful day and remember to do something nice for someone else!! You never know how your kindness could turn someone's life around!!
