Fairies, Unicorns, mischievous boys, a harp and a mystery. My friend Weldon Gray contacted me to take pictures of a harp that he found in his shop. I was so lucky to be part of this adventure that I wanted to share this amazing story with you.
Here in Weldon’s own words is the amazing story that happened to him. In this era of “fake news” it is so refreshing to read an actual account from someone’s personal experience.
THE ENCHANTED HARP
All About Unicorns and Fairies
One day on my way to the shop, I noticed a rustling of leaves in our garden. Curious, I wanted to investigate. Much to my disbelief, I saw with my own eyes, a tiny unicorn and fairy hiding underneath a rhubarb leaf huddled together trying not to be seen.
At that point I heard a commotion in the alley and I noticed 3 or 4 very excited boys with nets and gunnysacks looking around every corner and behind every fence as if they were trying to catch something. I looked back at the little creatures under the rhubarb leaf and realized what they were hiding from. I decided to protect them from the menacing posse fast approaching. Once the young urchins had passed us by and the danger was over, I looked back at my new friends and they looked very relaxed. The unicorn winked at me as the fairy waved, and they took off out of the shadows of the rhubarb plant into the sunlight and disappeared.
Realizing that I had just had an experience of a lifetime and that no one would believe me, including my wife, I decided to keep this little adventure to myself and went to work in my shop.
The very next day, as I came to work walking past the garden, nostalgic to relive such an unusual moment, I unlocked the door and walked in and found this beautiful enchanted harp. I can only guess that it is a gift from the unicorns and fairies of the world for doing what they considered an enormous favour.
As 1 studied the harp, I became aware of all the magic that rules the world of unicorns and fairies.

Here is a picture that I was able to take of this wonderful, enchanted harp when Weldon brought it over to my place.
Weldon has spent a fair amount of time examining the pictures that were burnt into the harp by the fairies prior to its delivery and has made a list of all the stories that he gleaned from his studies. Perhaps you will find your own story as you peruse the pictures.
We believe this picture was taken in Ireland after the harp was finished and before it left for Saskatoon.
Unicorns are hatched from overlooked purple Easter eggs found by woodland fairies. Fairies and unicorns can only be seen in the shadows, they disappear in sunlight.

Adult Unicorn…Note the Emerald placed on the forepillar of the harp.
The fairies put the eggs in the hollow of giant old rose trees. Just before they hatch the fairies bring them out for all the woodland creatures to see and enjoy the upcoming event.
Unicorn eggs are protected and kept warm by ancient fire-breathing dragons.
Every time a unicorn is hatched, another unicorn goes to the depths of the Irish Sea and brings back a newborn fairy with an emerald in her hand. This event only happens on deserted beaches with no humans on the night of the Super Moon.
The leprechauns bring her a harp and when she places the emerald on the forepillar of the harp, it becomes enchanted and she can magically play it.
Fairies like to keep hedgehogs as pets.
Fairies are quite adept at needlepoint.
The fairies inscribed a summary of the entire story on the back of the harp.

Hi Weldon
This is a really magical and wonderful creation! The imagination and workmanship are fantastic. I hope you find a worthy player to play some special music on this special instrument.
Best regards
Wow, I am in awe of this story and dare I say imagination:)
Lovely, lovely. Weldon is a man after my own heart. And that of our oldest son. He is a very fortunate man to have had such an amazing experience and be left such a beautiful and magical gift. May he cherish it and treasure its beauty and mystery for many years to come. Both the harp and the story are exquisite.
