Welcome to Sally-Anne Andrew’s LeFay Cottage at Little Washington. A world apart, this enchanting, quintessential faerie-tale cottage is secluded, intimate, exquisitely appointed with a disarming elegance. Chic without pretense. Not-so-shabby yet persuasively casual and inviting.

Set on five acres of a former Christmas tree farm amid the allure of Blue Ridge hills as old as time, the land itself exudes mystery, magic, and mysticism. LeFay Cottage creates an enchanted world, imploring guests to imagine, to believe, and perchance to dream of a different life.

Morganna the Faerie Queen of love, nature, joy, power, resilience, and healing reigns over Sally-Anne‘s LeFay queendom. As Sally-Anne engagingly tells it, Morganna is a shapeshifter, elemental of the natural world. Her role is to guide the next chapter of the LeFay story – fostering personal and global growth via introspection, empowerment, and philanthropy, tapping into myth and magic in order to facilitate inner peace and joy.

Sally-Anne grew up in Great Britain with faerie folklore and old English tales of mythical creatures and shapeshifters who could transform themselves. It’s these cherished stories of transformation and healing from within that have further inspired her to expand her unique brand of boutique-cottage wedding experiences, with Viktoria, a talented art photographer from Viktoria Art Photography, to the fantastical realm for Faeriecore and Cottage Core enthusiasts.

“LeFay Cottage is a place born of dreamers, magic makers, caretakers and yes, farmers whose purpose is to uplift the world through creating magic,’’ says Sally-Anne. “Our new Morganna collection of home goods and wellness products for the mind, body, and spirit guide you to channel your inner Queen. Experiences at our Love Lavender Farm transport you to elevated heights of transitive magic and empowerment.”

Experience Packages from Sally-Anne’s new Morganna Collection are designed to uplift and enlighten while encouraging a reconnection with the inner spirit. Each experience has been thoughtfully curated for one’s unique reign as Queen. Bespoke lavender thrones, diamond crowns, crystal wands to make a wish, and wellness products from the Love Lavender Farm have been imagined in the exclusive new product line. 

Curated healing collections assist in manifesting mind and body wellness, transporting queens and kings alike to new heights of unexplored internal magic. A portion of sales benefits The Make A Wish Foundation.

Come to make a story of your very own. Channel your reign as queen over a realm of myth and magic uplifted by the seductive fragrance of lavender, pine, and wind-blown reveries from a future passed long ago.
