I'm still so stoked with the work Studio Nyx did, it was such an easy and stress free experience! They took something that was giving me nightmares and made it into a dream, I'm so happy with how everything turned out.

I was particularly impressed with how disability and neurodivergance aware they are, and how they took my core values like acessability into consideration and worked them seamlessly into the design - like creating a colourblind friendly colour scheme and using dyslexia friendly font, two things I hadn't even thought to consider.

I highly reccomend them for anyone looking to rebrand or refresh their website!

Love these fantastic photos from Shire of Boddington, from their Summer by the River community event.
Fantasy Face Painter did an incredible job painting faces as Fairy Flora - she was absolutely swamped but didn't let that stop her!

We also had such a great show of interested from parents and kids alike for the flower crowns and worm farming workshops; thank you so much everyone who came along. It was delightful to see people of all ages getting creative and walking around wearing their beautiful hand made head pieces.
I hope that it's inspired some future gardeners out there!

Had such a great time running an upcycled suncatchers workshop for the hobby hive at Beechboro Public Library. Thank you for having me! I love all the different variations and interpretations people create with their designs in this workshop, the trees are always so personal and beautiful.

If you'd like to host your own workshop, send me a message.

Calling all bee lovers. We have a sad story to share from the garden of a bee loving faerie living in Ellenbrook. She’s just discovered an entire hive that was living harmoniously in her family yard has been killed. Thousand of worker bees, happy drones and the gentle queen. Gone.

She isn’t just a dead Bee. She is a dead Bee with her proboscis (tongue) out, and corbiculae (pollen sacs) full.

Bees do die when they are around 6 weeks old. However, there is no natural reason why a Bee flying with a pollen delivery should not have made it back home to unload, before heading back out to enjoy her final moments.

The unnatural reason is mass poisoning. - the tongue out is a giveaway.

The girls are dying, by the thousands.

THINK before you spray pesticides on a windy day!!!!

☠️ Poisons carry on the breeze and kill frogs by contaminating fresh water sources, and ALL the Bees they contact.
🌺 Native Bees are already struggling due to uncontrolled (feral) Honey Bee populations.
🐝 Controlled Honey Bee populations don’t stand a chance flying home through poison.

Please share. Spread the word.

Exciting news - we are rebranding!
Meet "Rin the Garden Fairy" - bringing joy and delight to adults and kids alike.

Lately we've branched out by offering workshops, crafting sessions and gardening classes that are not just kid focused, but for adults too.

They've been a huge hit, and we realised that 'Fairy Rose Parties' doesn't capture everything we do anymore. After 8 years of being Fairy Rose, it's time for change.
It's still the same team behind the scenes, but now we have a name that matches our new look.

A special thanks to Studio Nyx for their fantastic rebranding advice and website design - we couldn't have done it without them.
Our new website is officially live and can be seen here, and social media updates will be following soon.

Face painting, parties, gardening classes and entertainment for all ages with Rin the Garden Fairy. Perth.

One of my favourite Christmas activities is decorating my wrapping paper. Face paint works beautifully on simple brown paper, and I love customising each present with a unique design.

Thank you to everyone who has booked me for this holiday period and included me in your celebrations! It's been a delight to share and create such happy memories with everyone over the last month.

A very merry Christmas and happy holidays to all.

Do you love bunnies? Romeo's Rabbit Rescue and Don't Go Astray Inc - Helping Animals In Need are looking for short term holiday foster carers, so their hard working teams can take a much needed and well earned rest over the Christmas - new years period.

Short term foster caring is a fantastic way to support the rescue community and help prevent rescue burn out, without the commitment of full time foster caring.

If you're home for the holidays and would like to look after bunnies like little Ryder for a week or two, send the rescues a message!
No worries if you're new to bunnies - they can often help out with supplies and set up. All you need to do is provide an indoor space for their pen, and the love and attention your foster bunny needs on their holiday with you.

It was unicorns, unicorns and more unicorns at this lovely party on Sunday. Not pictured: the other 10 unicorns I also painted 😂
We just about had enough to form a coup, overthrow the reindeer and take over Christmas!

(Plus 3 boys who all wanted to be pugs. Classic.)

What do you think of my custom glitter blends?
Made using glitters from Glitter Girl , Tag bio glitters and Sparkle Party. I combine the colours till I am happy with the combo and then mix it with Birdwing glitter creme base to make a smooth, easy to apply creme glitter.

On my list to make this time was a Christmas blend for christmas, and a shimmery orange and a black for more masculine designs.
I've also just got a soft spot for the green and gold combo so I had to make one of those - it looks so good on dragons, dinos, Minecraft and floral designs.
Finished off with a holo purple blend because who doesn't love purple?

Have you met our newest adoptable bunny, Ellie? We are fostering her for Don't Go Astray Inc - Helping Animals In Need as part of our rescue animal sponsorship program and would love to find her forever home this christmas.

She's a bit of a nervous 'NEllie'; but is very food orientated so she's only a few treats and a bit of patience away from being your new best friend.
She's looking for a quiet, indoor home where she can be a cherished member of the family. She's extremely well litter trained, in perfect health and would make such a lovely addition to any family.

She has the softest fur you'll ever feel - cuddling her in your lap is an experience like no other!
She doesn't like being lifted up off the ground, but is happy to sit down low with you for snuggles.
Ellie loves to binky, zoomie and flop. She's an easily pleased sorta gal: we've given her all sorts of lovely beds, pillows and toys but in true bunny fashion, her favourite nap zone is on top of her cardboard box.

Ellie is a bit of a ladies man - she seems to warm up to men faster than women, so she'd be the perfect companion to any bun dads out there 😉
But she would be happy in a family of any type, so long as she can have her own secure space to hide when she's feeling a bit overwhelmed.
She is EC negative, so she'd also potentially be a good bond mate for any single EC neg buns out there.
If you're interested in meeting her, send us or DGA a message today.

Pride fest is winding to a close, with our final pride themed workshop (Flower crowns at Old Midland Courthouse) happening thisafternoon at 3.30pm - still a few tickets left if you want to book in via the link below!
Our jewellery workshops were a huge hit and it was wonderful to see the beautiful, creative designs people came up with.

This has been such an incredible month. Going behind the scenes a little here - as a q***r disabled person, getting to face paint in the Fairday pride disability area was such a special experience. I met so many amazing people, was involved in some wonderful conversations and really experienced the love.

Keeping things accessible and inclusive is something I try to incorporate into all aspects of my work, so doing workshops through the libraries is always such a treat. They're accessible to people who can't afford the bigger, fancier pride events, or who struggle with sensory, mobility or other disabilities that can make those same events hard to attend. Thank you City of Swan Libraries for all the hard work you do, organising and providing such amazing services to the community!

Volunteering with TransFolk of WA is also such a wonderful way to connect with the community at a personal level, and really see how much these events mean to people.

Pride is for everyone, and keeping it accessible in these ways is something I'm so glad I can help do.
If anyone has any suggestions for new events they'd like to see, ways I can continue to make my services more accessible, or any other feedback I would love to hear.
The libraries also always love feedback, so if you missed out and would like to see a repeat of any past workshops just let them know!
