Where are all my lovers of literature, folklore, and fairy tales?!

Come follow me on Substack and subscribe to my page--The Celtic Lilly Fairy & Folklore--where I explore symbolism and meanings in fairy tales, folklore, and mythology. Some of the topics I cover (or plan to cover) are the seasons, holidays, flowers, animals, and nature as they relate to Celtic mythology, Greek and Roman mythology, fairy tales, and folklore.

I just posted a new article about the symbolism of cats in stories that you may want to check out!

I'll leave my Substack links in the comments. So come join me! (Just an FYI...I'm working on a new fairy tale podcast to be unveiled soon!)

Hope everyone is having a beautiful Memorial Day weekend!

I have a fun update to share:

Di's Studio Designs is now The Celtic Lilly!

New name, new look, new approach.

I still create whimsical fairy-inspired faux floral designs, candle holders, fairy houses, and Celtic knotwork art.

But there's more!

I've launched a new Substack site where I muse about fairy tales, folklore, and mythology. I'm also putting together a magical podcast where I'll read aloud and discuss the symbolism in some of our favorite fairy tales. I'm hoping to start rolling out episodes in a week or two!

Both sites are still new, but you can check them out in the linked comments below.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Memorial Day!

Wow! It’s been a while since I last posted! There’s a bit of restructuring going on behind the scenes; a name change, a new logo, more focus on the whimsical and the Celtic…and maybe even a new website. There will be more fairy tale and Celtic mythology-related blogs to complement my magical fairy houses and Celtic art, and a new podcast analyzing the symbolism behind our most beloved fairy and folk tales. If you haven’t found me on Substack yet, I’ll leave the link in the comments below. My Substack page will be my new “hub” for my newsletter, blog posts, podcast, Celtic knot e-book tutorials, knotwork border templates, and any other magical things I can dream up! It’s all a work in progress, with each piece of the puzzle rolled out as I get it finished. If you are a fan of all things fairy and Celtic, you are going to love the changes that are coming over the next three or four months! So stay tuned!

New fairy huts WIP update!

The construction phase for my newest fairy houses is finished. Now I'm moving on to the paint and stonework. I'm playing with the patriotic red, white, and blue color scheme...but I'm not totally feeling it just yet. The houses would be whitewashed, with blue and red roof trim, creating a striking color palette! It's just not my typical color scheme.

So what are your thoughts? Should I continue in this direction, or should I tone it down with more earthy trim? The shingles on each house are the colors I want, but the trim is where I'm a bit stuck. Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
