Tumblr of the Fae

Musings and meanderings of the creative force behind Faerie Made; A West Asheville NC based business offering artisan soaps, botanical perfumes and natural body care. I am also an avid foodie, locavore, wanna be urban homesteader and have a pack of dogs who make me laugh daily. I am living the life I love and loving the life I live.

I love the @northashevilletailgatemarket ! Every Saturday April through November from 8-12 it’s like a mini festival where you can shop for your weekly groceries and fine arts and crafts. I’m there with my #faeriemade soaps and body care and my #faeriefabrications handwoven items. ** * * #828isgreat #avlmade #asheville #ncmade #madeinasheville #madeinnorthcarolina #shoplocal #makersgonnamake

Yesterday was lovely, but a bit breezy. Took 3 of us to get the tent set up so it wouldn’t blow away. Sales were good and everyone was in a celebratory mood. I like my local @westashevilletailgate market. I’ve been vending there at least 15 years! * * * #tailgate #market #shoplocal #828isgreat #asheville #handmade #local #northcarolina #faeriemade

I know at some point we may have spring, but i just finished up these pretty scarves. Primary colors are greens and gold and blues. One has a black pattern 8 inches by 75 in long and the other in a lovely gold/taupe at 8 inches by 71. They are all tencel which means silky and drapey and delicious. $90 each not inc shipping. * * The taupe one has been sold. I’ve done my best to take the pic in natural light. * * * #handmade #handweaving #weave #weaversofinstagram #weaving #handwoven #tencel #scarf #scarves #silky #beautiful fiber #fiberart #yarn #makersgonnamake #faeriefabrications #avlmade #avlcraft #madeinasheville #ncmade #madeinnorthcarolina #madeinusa #womanownedbusiness #womanowned

The love of my life heart dog, Temperance. We are both lucky we have each other. ❤️💚💜💙 * * * She has Addison’s disease and is heading into remission from immune mediated thrombocytopenia. She’s cost me thousands of dollars and hours of anguish. * * * She’s counter surfed and stolen handwoven towels to chew on. She ate her dog sister Fleur’s championship award! She chewed up my favorite tarot deck. * * * She’s also the funniest dog on the planet. She makes me laugh daily and she loves unconditionally. If everyone could have a dog like her, they’d count themselves lucky. * * #heartdog #loveofmylife #dog #poodle #standardpoodle #dogsofinstagram

Market was good today! I sold 4 of my handwoven towels so I felt okay buying a few ounces of this local alpaca to spin! 😍 * * #alpaca #roving #spinning #spinner #makersgonnamake #yarn #yarnaddict #shoplocal #northcarolina #asheville #828isgreat

Calendula balm all labeled and being shrink wrapped today. This is such a amazing salve for your cuts and scrapes. And on tattoos? Oh yeah. I infuse olive and rice bran oils With calendula flowers. And to that I add Shea butter, cocoa butter, and beeswax. A little bit of lavender and Teatree essential oil makes this an excellent salve for you to use. * * #natural #handmade #salve #herbal #calendula #naturalhealing #essentialoils #faeriemade #plantmedicine #madeinusa #madeinasheville #ncmade #madeinnorthcarolina #asheville #tattoo #tattoohealing #tattoobalm #makersgonnamake

Morning edits of my perfume labels. Drinking coffee. Using my 2007 MacBook because it has the software I need and I use only for editing labels. This sweet computer keeps going on and on and on. My pc laptops were only good for a year or so. * * #apple #macbook #workfromhome #faeriemade #selfemployed #makersgonnamake (at Faerie Made)

My terrier, Lily Monster, just had a roll in the leaves and decided to bring them back to the porch. When the weather is warm I spend most of my free time out here “porch sitting”. It’s right off my bedroom and it’s one of my favorite places to be. * * #teatime #terrier #backporch #asheville #springtime #smallhouse #happy #dog #dogsofinstagram #cairnterrier #828isgreat #westasheville #home
