Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

Invite In A Housework Fairy...


I have posted about this fairy in the past and decided to repost for those of you who haven't "met" her. I need a visit from her about now, as I've fallen behind in a few of my household chores of late.

If you can attract the Irish Fairy called the Bean-Tighe, pronounced Ban-tee or Ban-Teeg, you may just have someone to help you accomplish your unfinished tasks around your cottage.

This fairy originated in Ireland and is also called Our Housekeeper. Their element is earth and they are found at hearth sides. She is usually a small elderly woman and always has a smile on her face with full dimpled cheeks. This fairy is always looking for a warm, friendly home to guard over and she is a wonderful housekeeper.

The Bean-Tighe loves children and will make sure to watch over them. They sing lullabys, adjust their blankets and close drafty windows.

To invite this lovely fairy to your home, leave her a bowl of fresh strawberries and cream. Make sure your home isn't spotless because she will only come if it looks as though she is needed.

To have this fairy take up residence in your cottage is indeed a blessing.
