another George

“[Mary] Hakkinen in 1998 worked part-time at the Maharishi Ayurvedic Health Center in Lancaster where she was a ‘Jane of all trades.’ […] ‘I’d just settled in and kicked off my boots when I looked up and George Harrison came through the door carrying a teacup and saucer. Security was tight, because the center didn’t want him hounded by the media. I was speechless. ‘After a few days of chitchat, he asked me what I did for a living. I laughed and told him I made fairies, and angels, mermaids, and elves. He said he’d love for me to bring some in to show him and his wife, Olivia, who had just been to a museum full of fairies in England.’ Hakkinen said she came home and worked frantically to create as many designs as was humanly possible. ‘I brought in a few and he asked for more. He really liked the elves. He said he was going to put them in the nooks and crannies of his garden wall. He inspired me no end and boosted my self-esteem and my belief in my product. Here was this man who could buy just about anything he wanted, and he wanted my fairies.’” - The Recorder (June 14, 2001) “Harrison, and his wife Olivia, have ordered cases of fairies and gnomes from Hakkinen. […] ‘They literally ordered something of everything, just tons of stuff. He said he wanted to put them in his garden wall at his house in England. He really loved the gnomes sitting in the mushrooms and the fairies in milkweed ponds,’ Hakkinen said. ‘It was so weird sitting there with him, I had to get over that, because he’s such an idol to me. But, he told me to relax. “It’s just me,” he said. Right?’ Hakkinen brought an old plastic Beatle ‘Kaboodle Kit’ from the 1960s (she used to keep her railers in it) for Harrison to autograph. The inscription reads: ‘To Mary the Fairy, from George Harrison.’ Hakkinen said Harrison told her he had never seen that particular example of Beatle memorabilia before. ‘He didn’t know what it was,’ she laughed.” - article by Karen Nugent, Telegram & Gazette (December 20, 1998)
