This beautiful vivid faerie portrait was painted by Ron Anger. Thank you my friend!
I'd like to meet:
Positive, optimistic, artist type people who are kind and gentle with a passion for life and what they do.
And...my dear, beautiful friend, Ed
This portrait was beautifully framed with an original design from
Andrew McManus of Broken Glass Design. Thank you my friend!
The Faeries of Gossamer Glen take great pleasure in displaying this gorgeous work of art created by our dear friend and gifted artist Andrew McManus of Broken Glass Design. This very special design, featuring the Faeries of Gossamer Glen, will be used in a greetings card created for the most worthy of causes. The proceeds from the sale of this card will benefit children suffering from leukemia. We are very honored to support this cause, and to have served as the inspiration that aided in its creation. For more information, please see our blog.

Message from the Faeries regarding comments...
Thank you so much for all of the gorgeous and thoughtful comments that you leave for us. However, Gossamer Glen is located in a remote part of the forest so we are forced to make do with a dial-up connection. As much as we love the pretty animated gifs and glitter graphics that you leave, some of them cause our page to freeze up, therefore we have no choice but to delete them. Please don't take it personally. Lovely images that do nothing but sit and look pretty are always welcome though! Also, if we have not been by to leave a comment on your page, it may not be for the lack of trying. Most likely, it is for the same reason as above. Pages with lots of content, graphics, spinning, moving, falling and glittering items will not load for us. We wish they would, but sadly, they won't. So we apologize if we are unable to visit your page. We will still send you love, light and magical wishes, even if we can't send you comments!
Please note...beginning Feb. 15, 2008, if you have Captcha enabled on your comments we will no longer be able to leave you comments due to our excruciatingly slow dial up connection. The faeries are very sorry but it takes much too long.
Music:
Today's Musical Faerie Forecast...
"Mist" By FREYIA
The Faeries of Gossamer Glen love music and have very diverse tastes. They very often listen to soft and ethereal melodies, but there are times when they prefer to kick up their heels and jam, so please don't be too shocked if this page rocks from time to time! There is always the pause button! Some fav sounds include Tori Amos, Josh Groban, Enya, Celtic Harp, sounds of nature, Blackmore's Night, Jim Boggia, Marty Casey and Lovehammers, Shauna Burns, Priscilla Hernandez, The Mary Dream, Gabrielle Angelique.
A faerie favorite...
Live the Proof
Music and Lyric: Jim Boggia / Julian Coryell
Let's begin with a fact.
Science tells us there's a pact
made between each action
and something that reacts.
Things that seem out of range
all obey a law of change.
Put thoughts into motion.
Watch things rearrange.
Live the proof.
We can create our circumstance.
Live the proof.
Nothing is ever left to chance.
It's no dream.
We can begin the world anew
Here and now.
Live the proof.
Every thought left unsaid.
Every dream kept in your head.
Every other option you'd rather see instead.
Lift them up set them free.
Go into the world you see
like it's already the way that it should be.
You view the problem like you're stuck inside it.
What if you had power to rectify it?
Would you make the choices to apply it?
Would you try it?
It's no dream
We can begin the world anew
Here and now
Live the Proof

Heroes:
My father. And my brave mother who dealt with cancer with such grace, and who is now, cancer free. And heroes of the everyday. Those who practice patience, tolerance, compassion, and kindness toward everyone. Those who spread beauty, peace and love. Those who treat others with dignity and respect.
