An Elfin in Search of a Home…

Hiya!  Boy do I have something exciting to share with you.  I have someone very special I want to introduce you to.  This is Willa Piecrustbottoms Elfonzo.  She is a wee elfin, who happens to be looking for a home.  You see, she tips ever so gently to her left, which made her afraid that you would think that she had been sampling the shroomnog a bit too much, and therefore wouldn't want her to come live with you…

Elfie 1

Of course, I told her that was plain hogwash, and not to be so silly.

Tipping to the side a little is no big deal at all, don't you agree?

She has lots of magic to share.

And when I say magic, I mean honest to goodness real as rain, elfin magic.

Plus, she has so many stories to share…

Elfie 2

Especially fairy tales gathered in the forest from beautiful winged creatures…

Elfie 3

She has also learned endless tales of lore from Auntie Winnifred Bidelia

Elfie 4

Who she adores cozying up to for tea and sweets and secret enchanted pumpkin tales.

Elfie 5

She gets along with all sorts of creatures, never one to cause too much mischief.  But more, a comforting elfin soul, looking to add sparkle to your life 😉

Elfie 7

Do you think your home is elfin friendly?

Could you give Willa a loving home, filled with wonderments a plenty?

You know, she loves midnight carnivals and such, so, you might have your work cut out for ya.

Elfie 8

Really, all she wants is a nice, friendly, happy place to call home.

Elfie 6

Perhaps that's with you?

She was wondering if you might let her know the reasons she should come live with you?  What fun things you would do, or where you might let her cozy up in your abode?

She'll choose a place to live based on any comments received, and will make her decision by the next post.

She says it might be a difficult decision, but she is eager to begin an exciting journey.

She is ever so hopeful that one of you might want to let her into your lil' world, and can't wait to pack her tiny bag and start a new adventure!

All you have to do is leave a comment with your elfin thoughts, and how Willa will fit into your world, and she'll choose a home in a couple of days 😉

 

Love, Vanessa and Willa

 

A sparkly heart

    My lovely little ladies & I would love to have a new addition to our girls club. She would fit right in with our fantastical lifestyle. Best of luck for a new home, Willa!!!!

  2. Oh please come and bunk with me at Puddleduck Grange! I am so whimsical and silly you will have new adventures everyday. We will eat brownies for breakfast! EggNog everyday! All the mystical wildlife here will make you smile and laugh out loud, including me…Prudence, but you can call me Ieril…that is my elf name. I hope you choose me to be your new muggle 🙂

  3. Jenn says:

    Oh goodness! I’d love so very much if Willa would come to live with me! I’m sure my other little friends around here would agree, we get up to all sorts of mischief and merriment.
    I live in an enchanted forest WAY up north in Canada. On Winter nights we can see the magical Northern Lights twinkling in the sky, swirling around in all sorts of colours and sparkles. After the light show, we come back in and nestle by the fire, and the teddy bears gather around to tells stories! Some of them are VERY scary, but Willa strikes me as the kind of elfin who is very brave.
    In the Springtime we celebrate the Mad Tea Party! Everyone dresses up and drinks tea and eats as much as they can. All the creatures come in from all around. Even a unicorn or two has been known to stop by. We must be wary of the goblins though… just beyond the hills there are some goblin mines. But I assure you, Willa would be quite safe in my lace filled tower.
    In the Summer we visit the fairies in the forest, the live deep in the woods and only come out for the kind and pure of heart. On Midsummer’s night we dance around the fire and drink ale and eat cakes and sing fairy songs.
    In the Autumn the carnivals come to town! They only operate past twilight and are filled with all sorts of rides and treats. This is the kind and whimsical type of carnival, nothing spooky like in Something Wicked This Way Comes.
    So that’s just a little taste of all the fun times we have each season. Hopefully this will appeal to Willa and she’ll want to come live with me and Mr. Gordo (my stuffed pig toy friend). I have a little bed in my doll house that I think she would like. The rabbit family would just love to have her move in, and they’re rarely home so she’ll pretty much have her run of the place.
    Lots of love,
    Jenn (And Mr. Gordo)

    Hello…(for the very first time) … (email on the way to introduce etc etc)
    I would take good care of Willa … she would like my home for I think it would remind her a lot of the magical place she came from. I would sit here near the computer so that when I read the enchanted writings of her creator then she would still get to see and or hear about all of her magical friends, the furry friends Miles and Matty, Mister and Ms V and just what everybody is up to. 🙂
    I have plenty of angels and fairys in my home so she would not feel lonely or scared…but rather welcomed.
    I think she would enjoy peeking into this blog as much as I do.
    Kimberly

  5. Jessica says:

    Willa would feel very welcome in my home. First of all, I bake a lot here, so she would definitely enjoy the pies and tarts and such that I create. (Especially crusts…I have found the secret to a perfect crust! Yippee!)
    Willa’s main living quarters would be the Tiny Tea Room (my chambre) where her home would be a lovely teapot house. My room is decorated with pale pink, zebra patterns, golden stars, garlands of stars and moons, and teal–her colors exactly! She would be very happy in a place like that, me thinks 🙂
    And my own little pals are very friendly and would welcome her with open arms. (Holly the Dolly is already eagerly anticipating Willa’s arrival! She always reads over my shoulder…naughty girl 🙂
    Willa will definitely find comfort in the whimsical atmosphere surrounding her, especially the fantasy. My room is practically an elfin grove in the making! I have a grand library with Grimm’s Fairy Tales, books about fairies and fantasy, and of course, elves, which Willa would enjoy greatly, I’m sure.
    Most of all, I will take care of her and tell her plenty of tales, and I’m sure she will have plenty to share with me as well 🙂
    I hope you choose me to adopt Willa!
    xoxo

    Because I have two little girls who would awaken in awe to see an honest to goodness elf and their belief in magic would be assured for life.

  7. Riss says:

    Ooh isn’t she gorgeous! I would love to give Willa a new home! There would be no particular place in our house for her to watch over us. She would be moved around from room to room to enjoy and join in on all the crazy antics that go on around here! There’s singing and dancing, sooo many stories! And the faeries, pixies and elves from the garden would love a new friend!
    Whoever she chooses, I’m certain she will be well loved! Who couldn’t love a beauty like Willa Piecrustbottoms Elfonzo!!
    Big loves xx

  8. First and foremost Willa would be loved and cherished by Queenie and her court in my Kingdom of light hearted fancy and suspended disbelief. The Delicious would welcome her with much tail wagging a furry love. There are many original teddy bears about Owen and Brigid to name but a few who love to take tea everyday at 4 with all sorts of yummies and delectible delights followed by ice cream with honey or orange marmelade. There is all manner of elfin and fairy magic in every corner of the castle to keep Willa safe and well entertained. There are big windows to look out of into the blue Arizona skies and an enchanted back yard where the elfin gnomes are known to be best friends with the hummingbirds. All in all its a wonderful place to be. On behalf of myself, Honey Man and the Delicious we would love, love, love it if Willa would come to stay.
    Have a great day,
    Always, Queenie
    Always, Queenie

  9. Amy B says:

    I have a wee little girl who truly believes in elves and fairies. She loves to leave out tiny gifts to see what they might leave in return. She’d love to share her fairy treasures with Willa.
    Blessings

  10. Oh, Willa would be most welcome in my new home, Vanessa! Fun is back again with a child’s laughter from my granddaughter’s visits and as she gets older all the tea parties we will have together. Her leaning is not a problem and hardly noticeable. In fact, my granddaughter, if she’s not careful, tends to lean a bit when she walks too fast {a tendency of those at 18 months of age}. If Willa came to live with me, she would be most happy; I would keep her by my side as I craft and sew. It might even get me moving on the purchase of the little fairy door I’ve been craving. Then she’d have her own entrance!

  11. Norma says:

    Dearest Willa Elfin. Are you made of paper in any type of way, or have any kind of paper anywhere on you? If not, then you might enjoy living with me at The Fairyhedgepig Kingdom. Many fairies and other beings live here in the F.H.K. but most are made of paper and we have bad mice here sadly. You can see what they do here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/19394614@N00/
    Samuel is on a world tour now; he just left so if you come to live here you won’t see him for a while. But he writes regularly so you can read his post cards. Just to catch you up here is his first one:
    http://www.thefairyyellowbugqueen.blogspot.com/2012/01/fairy-postcards-from-edge-of-forest.html
    Oh, and by the way. If you come to live with me you can mail back to your mom Vanessa, some of the fairy correspondence belonging to the fairy dolls that got ruined by the mice. You see all of my fairy dolls write to each other. One writes to the other and the other writes to a different one and on a rare occasion a doll will write to one who writes back. This is a treat when it happens. So there’d be a lot of reading material around here.
    In any event you are most most welcome here. All the best wishes of magic and sweetness darling elfin creature. Bless! *running and smiling and sprinkling fairy dust* Norma (a.k.a. fairyyellowbug)

  12. Janel says:

    Oh my, Willa is just adorable! I would love for her to come live with me! I would even give her her own room, fit for such a wee little elfin!
    Happy New Year Vanessa!
    While in Tucson, I explored Catalina and Sabino Canyon. I always tell my mother that if I ever move to Tucson, I would live in Sabino Canyon or somewhere in the vicinity. So, while exploring, I hit the La Cantada Mall, and died for AJ,s Specialty Foods!! I bought an item there that I can never find in Denver! So I went back a few days later and bought two more! Pus, the Anthropologie there is one of my favorites stores! The layout is so awesome.
    smell ya later!

  13. Michelle says:

    Oh Willa do come and live with us. We shall listen to the ‘Magic Faraway tree’ all the time and play with the other fairies that live here too!. You know one of my little fairies Pinky said she met you way back when. So you would even have somebody you used to know. We are all a little bit left of centre here. Come live with us and we would be the happiest peas in the pod for sure! My little girl Taylor says oh mama Purleaseeee, “I would take such good care of Willa” . And I am sure she would.

  14. Renee says:

    I have a little collection of fairies, Tink is one of them, there are several winged creatures and not so winged in my collection. One is missing her bumble bee.
    One has a bit of wing missing.
    But they are still part of the group.
    So I think a little tips to one side just a bit elfin creature would feel right at home.
    And there is a little girl who comes her to stay sometimes who thinks elfin, fairy and other such wee creatures are magical.

  15. Nicole says:

    Dear Miss Willa,
    Where will you go?
    Among ALL these great people…
    It might make your mind blow!
    They promise you magic,
    Between friends and fun…
    But you’ll get something else,
    If with me you come!
    You’ll get visits from Fairies,
    From trolls, angels and a witch;
    You’ll get paties a plenty,
    With apple pie and icecream with peach.
    You’ll get costumes and dresses,
    And listen to lovely tunes;
    I’ll play the guitar for you,
    And we’ll dance under the moon.
    I’ll paint pictures of us,
    And sing you sweet songs;
    And for dinner we will have
    Croissants and macarons!
    We’ll watch movies together,
    And play hide and seek;
    You’ll get to play 24 hours,
    Seven days a week!
    So please Willa dear,
    Please choose me.
    For here is the best place,
    You could ever be!

  16. Nathalie Gagnon says:

    Dear Willa,
    Would you like to live in a cabin beside a snowy elephant mountain…it looks like an elephant lying down.We have deer that come to visit and the stariest night skies. Enjoy your new home!
    Nathalie

  17. RD says:

    Willa needs to come live with me and pave the way for other wee elfins! She’d love living in the snowy mountains and sledding down the mountainsides. Willa, we’ll welcome you with open arms!

  18. Sandra Sheets says:

    Willa would love it at my house although this week she’d be driving with me and 2 colleagues to and from a relatively uncreative national estate planning conference in Orlando that already has sapped what little natural creativity I could have (I admit I mostly get it vicariously from you Vanessa)! She would be the highlight though! We need you, Willa!

  19. Willa would love Florida! We have lots of sunshine…like she is used to there! And I have other fairies and elves…pixies and gnomes…dollies and bears…to play with! She could even take a trip to the beach to look for the heart of the sea or seashells! I wonder if she would like to dance with me at Zumba! Can she sing while I play the piano? Thanks for the fun, sweet V! I’ve always wanted one of your creations…this is THE ONE I would love! Warm Southern hugs, Diane 🖤🖤🖤

  20. Martha says:

    Oh, Dear Willa!
    You are certainly welcome to come live amongst the Hittys! There are plenty of Elfin folk around, too! Why one year they even starred in a Christmas play!!
    All the Best in your quest to find a magical wonderland to call your home!!
    (The Hittys drink Glogg…)

  21. kate says:

    I’m sure Miss Willa would love to come and live with me. We’re having perfect summer evenings at the moment where she can dance in the garden and eat berries and drink lemonade. We don’t have many fairies in Australia but we do have spirits and I’m sure they’d welcome a distant cousin and take her to the secret magical places. Then when she’s tired I can make her a bed of cosy snuggly yarn and pretty bits of fabric and we can have fairy tea and read bedtime stories.
    (My goodness, I just realised how long it is since I left a comment. I still pop in to read the blog!)

  22. Rita says:

    Dear Willa,
    My soul is so fragile and sad I feel lonely. Mi casa es tu casa, Here you will find love and a friend with apple pies and others sweets to share..
    Rita

  23. Miss Linda says:

    I know that she would have a lovely time at my house. She would be good company with my two very furry friends to play with. She would a good friend to the other faery that I have. I have been trying to get a companian for her who came to my house last year. I missed one this year because I got confused at the time. She would have a woundrous time here. Lots of smiles and only good thoughts.

  24. GirlyGeekChic says:

    Hello Vanessa,
    I just wanted to say this time of year is very hard for me. My mother passed away Dec. 27th 2007 and her birthday is Feb. 2nd. I had discovered your blog not too long after her death when my desire to be in the world was at a very low point. I have been reading it ever since I found it a few years ago. I really love the way you turn every post into a bit of magic. Your photos are beautiful and fun and your light hearted art is something I adore looking at and admiring. You even know how to make a contest adorable. I’m not adding this comment to enter the contest- simply to tell you, you are great and you have brought many a smile to my face.
    Happy New Year!

  25. Marilyn says:

    Hello Vanessa and Willa,
    My home is filled with little people and creatures. The kind that have sugar plum adventures during the wee hours of the night. I have heard whispers of their merriment, but Mr. Sandman visits me before my eyes and ears are able to capture such wonderment. I’m sure, if you come into my humble gingerbread home, you’d dance a magical jig or two. …or three …or four … or…

  26. Alia says:

    Willa! Please come and live with me! I have always missed out on the chance to adopt wee creatures such as yourself from a certain shop and it always makes me sad, but if you came to live with me I would never be sad again because we would have such amazing adventures! You can ride around on your furry steed (Mal) and be the elfy mascot of our new home when we move soon. I am sure you will bring it lots of luck. Anyway there isn’t much I can say to compete with everyone else, but there is a distinct lack of elfiness around here and you would fill that hole perfectly!

  27. Barbara says:

    Dear Willa,
    We have not yet been Introduced, which is somewhat Irregular, but I hope you will not Mind, since we welcome Irregular things into our household all the Time 🙂
    Might I possibly convince you to make your home here in our cloud-billowy, hilly little city by the bay? There are many opportunities for magic-making here, as the fog swirls around, and the little cable cars ring their bells laughingly..
    There are also lots of opportunities for PIE!! We make (and sample) it all the time. This We also includes Jinx, a Lovely black Cat and butter-sampler extraordinaire, who quality-tests all our Cream..
    And as for me, well I am: 1)known for always having glitter somewhere on my person 2)an official Fairy Godmother (CA chapter) to Someone Wonderful who believes in Elves Herself and would love to meet You! and 3)a Can Can Dancer who started Dancing as a Little Girl because she kept running into Walls. Truly 🙂 So both the midnight carnival requirements and left-leaningness will Do Splendidly..
    Hopefully Yours,
    Barbara 🙂

  28. kristy says:

    Oh Darling Willa,
    Please come and stay with me! I live in a cozy home in the wild wet coast in Vancouver, BC. I have big, grumpy old dog for you to play with. I will make you lovely treats and tea and if you need to get away we can go up to the sunshine coast and go for hikes and swims.
    I have lots of fairies and toys for you to be friends with including a sweet owl who has recently come to live with us.
    Willa leave the desert behind and come splash in some puddles with me!
    Best wishes no matter where you choose to live.
    Kristy

  29. Willa Piecrustbottoms Elfonzo sounds exactly like the type of friend Billizetti has been looking for. He keeps a special pair of wings in his closet that he’s been hoping to put on when he meets a special friend. Believe it or not, but not every person you meet appreciates a guy with a nice set of wings! You may already know Billizetti, actually. He has held a Mad Tea Party the past two years in a row in honor of the beautiful and completely mad tea parties you so lovingly host. In fact, he’s going to be holding a mid-winter tea party fairly soon, because so many of his friends want to just get together for an awesome, make-believe time. Those of us who live in the snowy regions can get a little depressed from too many gray skies. A tea party is exactly what is needed about now. It’s time to throw some glitter and fairy dust around! I just know Willa Piecrustbottoms Elfonzo would love to attend the tea party in person. I’ll tell Billizetti not to get his hopes up, though, as it looks like dear little Willa has plenty of people who want to meet her, too. How could she not with such a wonder name like Piecrustbottoms?! By the way, the Queen of Tarts has promised to make her famous lemon tarts for Billizetti’s winter tea party. That might be something to tempt Willa to come. :O)

  30. Please tell Willa not to hold Billizetti’s trouble with spelling against him. He meant “wonderful name” instead of wonder name. He can get a little excited at times. Wouldn’t you know it, the first thing to go out the door is his spelling, especially when he is trying to impress someone!

  31. Heidi Anderson says:

    A little love note to Willa: Dearest Willa, I started thinking about my last message, and while I meant it, I realized that living in a place with headaches doesnt sound like fun. So, I wanted to write you back to let you know about the fun things that we do there… We have a very little, magical home. We like flowers and plants, fairies and angels, enya and Lorena McKennit and music is always playing… We watch a lot of movies there too! We like to watch kids movies- the magical kind- because I used to work at Disneyland and I am a kid at heart- and always will be 😉 There are two furry feline princesses in our home who live with us and play and we hope that you will want to come stay with us. We wish you the best Willa! 🙂

  32. Well Ms. Willa would fit into our lil’ elfin world quite perfectly! She could join our other little Fanciful elves and they could party together, drinking shroom-nog until the wee hours of the morning, just like we do around these parts, teeee heeeee. She’s a doll and I love that she tilts a bit to the left…totally gives her character! Oh please oh please oh please chose our elfin home for her to be a part of…we’d love you forever and ever (well, we’ll do that anyway, but it sounded good 😉 😉
    What a sweet giveaway Vanessa, thank you for the consideration!!!! weeeeeeeee….back to elfin land….
    Hugs,
    Jamie 🙂

  33. Donna Phelan says:

    Oh Willa, won’t you come play with me….you can bring your dolly three and climb up my apple tree….slide down my rainbarrel, open up the cellar door and we’ll be jolly freinds for ever more:-) Please, Please…I Believe…I Believe!!!!

  34. Rebecca says:

    I would love to have Willa come and live with me and my lot. My home is enchanted, every home I live in is. There are fairies and angels and magic galore!
    A lovely elf as yourself would be a wonderful overseer to my promising garden and pie making. I am a newbie. Plus, the fairies sometimes get too busy doing their primping and the angels are, well, being angelic and Sofi puppy and Miss Snooty kitty Sammy could use someone to keep an eye on their mischief.
    There maybe an occasional visit from a unicorn or fairytale character and we will be having a floating lights gathering next month for the kings birthday!
    SO I have looked over some of the other options you have and they all sound like fine wonderful homes that you will be very loved in and we will be overjoyed wherever you go and send you what we have the most of, Love.
    Oh, and we like to lean sideways sometimes too! ;D
    Best Wishes!
    Rebecca

  35. Kristine says:

    I would love to have Willa (our Grand-daughters name is also, Willa)to come live with us because there are many new friends for her here in Massachusetts.
    We have a beautiful flower garden that she could overlook through our kitchen window.
    She could also have other friends during the different seasons in our home – Snow Babies, Beanie Babies, and Dolls from other countries.
    We also have two cats – Thompson & Sophie who would love a new addition to our family.
    I feel she would bring magic to our small cottage. (I would also feature her on my Whimsical Wednesday Post on my blog)!
    ~Kristine

  36. Kristin says:

    We like to play games but it’s hard with just three – Callie the black lab, hubby and me! We’ve been looking for a friend just like Willa! We’d read stories by the armload and dance in the rain; wear silly hats and twirl about and talk with funny accents. We’d give Valentines in July and have snail races and make marshmallow sandwiches; we’d stomp in puddles and sing really loud and make funny faces at each other. Now that the magic of Christmas is over, we could use some help making a little of our own magic, to make the New Year the most delicious one yet! We’d be ever so pleased if Willa came to help brighten our home and our lives. But if not, we hope Willa goes to a place of laughter and love!
    Thank you Vanessa for having such a fun contest! You bring magic into all of our lives!

  37. Why should Will come live with me? Hmmmm? I guess because I love elfin creatures and I’m just as good as a candidate for having her live with me as anyone else. Gee, Vanessa…how in the world are you going to make your choice? Unless you put everyone’s name into a magical elfin hat and let Miles choose the name of the person? All of these lovely comments…Have fun choosing!!! Willa is adorable 😉
    many magical hugs
    from Miss Hotten Tot Teresa

  38. Darn! Why do I do that? Leave off the ‘a’ in Willa? I know what her name is!!!
    The slip of a finger on the keyboard…
    Anyway,
    Cheers to whomever wins!
    Miss Teresa

  39. Kelly says:

    Please note I am sending an invitation to the one and only Willa Piecrustbottoms Elfonzo to our humble abode. I would have the most perfect spot for her that would be near a mushroom where other fairies, birds, elves, bunnies and butterflies reside on my kitchen counter near my bright window amidst my house plants. This is simply a busy little place with my teens and 2 pooch pals. We like all kinds of music and lots of sweet treats. Friday is always fun with Pizza and a movie.
    We will be saying goodbye soon after Valentines Day to our four little gingerbread boys who visit us every Christmas. So as you can guess we have plenty of room if Willa would like to come and stay. I truly believe she would be very at home here.
    Thank you, Miss Vanessa for this special opportunity and may the best home win.<3

  40. candida says:

    Sweetest Willa,
    if your fairy friends would be so nice to dust you with some fairy magic, I’m sure you would love flying over the big wonderous ocean all the way here to Rome.
    I could show you all the magical corners of this amazing city.
    we could dip our toes into the sea and build sand castles in the summer, and when winter comes along you might like to come join me and my dear little friends in the Emerald Isle, my sweet enchanting Ireland.
    we might be asked over for a cuppa and a slice of barnbrack by one of my leprechaun companions; believe me they know how to put a tea party together!
    and then you could help me and my fairy friends wrap presents to hide under the big luscious tree for all to find on Christmas night.
    I do hope you’ll want to join me, my world is only the bat of an eyelid away.
    yours truly,
    Candida

  41. I don’t comment much…well, never perhaps; but I read (almost) every day – and delightfully run after and play catch up in-between. Why, miss Vanessa, you may not know (or perhaps you’ve had some dream-like inkling?) that you are the third – the existential one, if you will – fairy-tale-forest-princess-sister in me and my dearest buddy’s fairie tribe. We’ve known for quite some time now…
    Anyhoo, I am an aspiring writer (among other hats that I wear), and in my world, I’d be nothing but a fantastical novelist. But my magic-laden well has been running a bit dry lately – or at least, so it appears; I drop a pebble or two and hear no echoes. I was just thinking how I could use a little inspired and magical muse in my life. And here I come across Willa – one of my favorite names (tis true) – and I instantly felt a tug at our invisible connection. Won’t Willa come perch by my side in my creative loft, from the second-floor window of my little house by the sea in Rhody, where we’ll watch moons set and give way to new moons as we weave tales that hopefully give as much heart as you often do to me?

  42. Linda Diane says:

    I am just popping in to say that Willa is precious, and someone is going to be so happy when they get chosen to welcome her into their nest. Since I have had the joy of receiving a Vanessa treat giveaway before, I don’t want to be considered for this one because I’d like to see someone else receive the joy!

  43. foo says:

    I need Willa! Tomorrow I start working from home for the first time ever, and I need someone to keep me company. A little bit of magic in my tiny office.
    Please send Willa my way.
    I will keep her happy in every way.
    She will sit and keep me company
    and we can giggle when we stop to see
    the opossum mama and her baby
    as they wiggle just outside my window, weeee!

  44. Dear Sweet Elfin Willa~
    I would like to tell you about a very special little girl. She is my daughter and it is almost her 8th birthday! You and her have quite a bit in common! You are both beautiful sweet little treats. She has been feeling very sad and lonely lately. She feels like she doesn’t fit and that no one wants to be her friend (perhaps that is a bit how you felt?). She has such an amazing imagination and dreams of fairies and flying and candy houses…
    Her and I both love to garden and she has her own little corner garden where I know you would have grand adventures together. You could cozy up under the hydrangeas and have tea and share stories and giggles.
    We love to explore and experiment and our house is full of creativity. We always have some type of fun project going on, so you would never be bored. And we have a furry baby, so you would not miss Matty and Miles so much.
    My daughter has a little box next to her bed that she has lined with pretty little fabrics and bits of lace. It is very soft and comfy, and she has been searching for just the right little friend to sleep there. It is just your size! It would be the perfect place for you to rest after you have been exploring all day together.
    Won’t you please come to live with my daughter to cheer her up? She needs some magic right now and I know she would just love you! Perhaps you could surprise her on her birthday and enjoy some cake and tea with her.
    Warmly,
    Shannon

    Oh my…I know she would fit right in with me and my cozy cottage. You see, I live deep in the forest in a little place called Gypsy Hollow. We have midnight tea parties, and dance in the moonlight. We back all sorts of goodies. We love to sit and read by candlelight while it rains because the rain hits the old tin roof and makes a magical sound that is ever so comforting. She can ride on my black cats back thru the forest to forage for berries. We all love to play at Gypsy HOllow and try to make it a very magical place everyday. She wouldnt be disappointed coming her with me! I will make a wish full of fairy dust that she might, just might make it to Gypsy Hollow!!!

    Oh how lovely little Ms Elfin is! She would love coming to live with me in my little home in Gettysburg, PA….We live on a small farm and she could spend time with our horses, take a little walk in our woods to look for fairies, owls and deer…she could sit on our deck and spend time with our gnome who we call ‘Gnomie’. He’s a true gentleman and would love to have a lovely lady friend like Elfin to spend his time with. Hugs to you and Elfin! xoxo

  47. Rhonda Roo says:

    I know what it’s like to feel a little out of sorts, and its true i have leaned to the left a time or two (mushroom nog!).
    It is grand magic that Miss Willa has such a fan club!
    Anyhoo, the Weelings begged me to tell her hello, and to say we’re sure she can’t go wrong wherever she chooses…but wouldn’t it be wonderful if she could visit everyone like Milo did?
    Love peace and happy sprinkles to all!

  48. Oh, I sure could use another Elfin, especially a magical, tippy Elfin. I am in need of magical help to keep me on track, doing the work in front of me. I am getting ready to move into an Elfin-sized home and she would be most helpful in decorating my wee cottage, and teach me to live in small spaces. First glance made me squeal with delight! I have set an Elfin-sized table with a wee tea set in her honor. I think it will make her feel right at home. **blows kisses** Deb

    Hello Willa Darling,
    We would love for you to come live with us in our magical hideaway by the sea. We are affectionately called “Mr. and Mrs. Buns” by the humans that live with us, but you can call us Popsicle and Lollipop, (or Poppy and Lolli for short) you see we are two very happy (and we must say cute!) bunnies and would love to share our happy home with you, you can hop along with us on all of our adventures. We love to cuddle and love kisses on the nose and we are really good about giving kisses back! We would love to hear from you Miss Willa. Have a very Hoppy Day! xoxo

  50. Julie Marie says:

    Hello Vanessa and Willa… oooh, how I would love for Willa to come live with the Fairy Sisters and me… the Fairy Sisters had told me a tale of a lonely little Elfin named Willa who they knew was scared and needed a good home… you see, I was once like Willa… a bit “different” than the other little girls, but the Fairy Sisters taught me that different is good… and since they all share their humbles beginnings in life, they would all love each other so and frolic and dance beneath the moon each night, their laughter filling the air until dawn… xoxo Julie Marie

  51. Carlyn Swain says:

    Dear Vanessa,
    I do not have a website or a blog. I am not artistic at all. I am enchanted by what you and others do on these sites. I get so much pleasure from it. Please send Willa to live with Alecia Paulson. I think it would help her a little and let her know how many people are thinking of them.

  52. diane says:

    Willa expresses sweetness!
    If she is open to being in a different ‘sphere’ but a place that is creative and playful she will have a great time.
    Larricus, the bust statue mumbled some words to me that he wanted Willa to know. Larricus, has some difficulty moving his lips but I’m sure I heard him say these words which I scribbled down for him.
    “Willa Piecrustbottoms Elfonzo, I am solid bluestone rock and stoney faced but I think we would just click and I love the thought of pie!
    It would be very sweet having you here!
    From Larricus”
    I should add it is a long way to travel but Willa’s presence would be most appreciated.

  53. dena miller says:

    Dear Vanessa,
    I would love, love, love for miss Willa to come and share my home with my Hubby and me and the three kitties of course!!! Midi, Zoey Beth and Mr. Jackson need an elfin friend to keep them company when we are at work. I know she would watch over them and keep them from their shenanigans that they are able to do unattended. Willa looks like she would be the perfect Elfin Princess. I do hope that she can come to reside here with us….I promise she will be so happy and will fall in love with our kitty’s too🖤
    ~~Hugs,
    Dena

  54. Heidi Anderson says:

    Ooooh Dear Willa, how ever will you choose? So many places and homes to choose from? Well, I do hope that you remember me from my note before. You are most precious and special 🙂 I do think that we could ‘lean on eachother’ since we are both a bit tippy! We could make sweet things, and pick flowers to arrange whilst we listen to music and Sadie cat and Rose cat sing and dance… I know you have the world to choose from, but I already love you, and do hope you choose our home to adopt as your own too! 🙂 Much love!! H

  55. Karis says:

    OH! Willa is just what my new home is going to need! You see, I’m living with my family, waiting for the most perfect home (after many months spent on another continent in a constant state of adventure), and I just KNOW my magical little hideaway will have need of a friendly elvin spirit to help it hold enough splendor for myself and my daughter to thrive in! I love the curious look on Willa’s face, with her head tilted to the side ever so slightly — I’m just sure she’s looking at the world from a slightly different angle, as I do, and I know she’s the sort of friend I can count on to help me create the perfect atmosphere of effervescence when I finally do settle on a spot to unload my gypsy cart of a life. We’re holding our breath, because someone so magical would add a seed of wonder to our lives in a very real way! Imagine — HOME! complete with a fairy forest friend to get us off on the right start!
    I love little Miss Willa =)
    Thank you for bringing more magic into a world with much need for it!

  56. michelle says:

    She should come live with us because we would LOVE her so much! Brittany received a doughnut making machine for Christmas that I just know she would love to try out her baking skill on. We also have other tiny friends to keep her company, I am sure they already have midnight parties she would be invited to. Fingers crosse, choose us Willa!

  57. Theresa says:

    Dear Vanessa! Willa is just adorable!!!! I see that she will indeed have a most difficult decision in finding her new home. Willa would be most welcome to come and live here with me, the pups and our faerie friends. There is true beauty in imperfection. If we were all perfect – the world would not be as interesting a place. We welcome all here to our little home to make merry and be happy. True beauty lies within – and that beauty will shine through for all to see. And Willa IS beautiful inside and out. And that is what she represents to everyone. xoxox

  58. Maureen Rhines says:

    I would love Willa to come and live with me! You see I have a vestibular disorder that has resulted in my leaning a wee bit to the right. Willa and I would be able to put our heads together to come up with ideas for games and crafts to do with my little grand-daughter Maggie. We have already built a lovely little fairy house that is waiting patiently for a special little someone to live in.
    Even though Maggie is only 5 she has been studying fairies for quite some time. She has learned about the special places different types of fairies live and what their favorite treats are. I know Maggie would love to have someone like Willa to visit when she comes to my home!

  59. Kim says:

    Dear Willa:
    I just know in my heart you would adore living in Gerushia’s New World. You see, we lost two furry family members in 2011, which leaves wee little Junior, our Miniature Schnauzer, without any non-human friends. He’s ever so lonely and I know you would love to be his friend.
    We have garden space galore, a lovely kitchen filled with all sorts of baking goodness and we even have a few magical secrets too!
    I just know you would love it here at Gerushia’s New World!
    xoxo
    Kim and lonely Junior.

  62. michelle parrish says:

    Hey Vanessa – I long time no speak. You were my first blog friend way back in the day like 2007. Not sure if you remember me I had shops in the uk. I sent you a diamonte key and heart necklace. Well any way honey great to see all is well. Saw this link and thought you were one fellow soul who would love it.
    Much Love

    Dear Miss Willa Piecrustbottoms Elfonzo,
    My little girl Eva thinks you are just beautiful. She would very much like to request you consider visiting us in New Zealand. We will provide a warm and loving home for however long you would like to stay.
    We would love to take you on adventures into the beautiful NZ forest and our extensive garden. These parts are full of wonderlings such as yourself and we would be thrilled to explore with you. Then it would soon be home for tasty, tasty treats and snuggled-up stories in bed.
    This is a very happy home and think you might find it quite to your liking.
    With sincerest regards,
    Anna & Eva

  64. M says:

    Hello! I am Fairy Adventurina, and I was created last year. I have flown around this sweet home and met many friendly toys, a nice dog and cat, and, of course, the artist “M” who made me. I delight in this lovely old house that just turned 100 years old! At night it whispers stories to me of days long gone. We are surrounded by big old trees, who also like to tell stories. It would be so wonderful to have a friend like you to share it all with. You are always welcome here to our little house in the woods by the sea!

  65. Jo says:

    Oh Willa, we would love for you to come live with us here at Pumpkin Manor! Wilhelmeena, our Kitchen Witch, was just telling me yesterday how lonely she is and I would love for her to have some company when she’s not cooking or flying around the house to entertain the familiars. Oh yes, we have wonderful, furry, snuggly companions here at Pumpkin Manor and I don’t just mean the Mr :o) I too would love another magical friend here at home as I spend so much time here because of this silly & uncooperative body. We could have tea parties during the day and slumber parties at night! Oh, and we have gardens here at Pumpkin Manor too! And lots of good books to read, pretty yarn to cozy up with and many tales to tell. I do so hope you’ll come live with us! You’re an enchanting little beauty I’d be honored to have as a friend. What’s that? Oh yes, Dorris & Annie and Charles are still here! They send their love and wishes to see you soon! I agree, it Is wonderful that there’s always a sprinkling of Halloween here at Pumpkin Manor, no matter the time of year…

  66. Melissa says:

    Would love for Willa to join our household! We have furry friends too, so she would feel at home right away. And we’ve many shelves (and books) just waiting for her to decide which one she prefers to make her home!! This way Willa!!! 🙂

  67. oh
    my
    wellll
    i myself
    tip to the side most days
    {{ pre & post yoga }}
    and
    i personally feel
    that one can NEVER have
    too many wonderments
    about
    {{ i am off to find more
    myself
    in the next moment }}
    STILL…
    i feel
    ~~with confidence sublime~~
    that Willa will find her Best Place
    to Home
    as
    don’t we
    all
    really
    ???
    say,
    is Willa related to the
    Atlanta Piecrustbottoms ??
    i ask
    because
    Polly Piecrustbottoms
    was
    in my sister’s tap dance class
    and she sort of ‘listed to one side’
    as well
    but that was years
    ago before the drive*in movie
    park
    burned
    down…
    🖤

  68. Heidi Anderson says:

  70. She is absolutely adorable!Unfortunately, I have four fearsome kitties that wouldn’t understand Willa’s tipping. She would be knocked over a lot, and nobody wants that!
