The old orchard at the farm where the ancient Wolf River apple trees grow.

Greenhouse in the orchard alight with fairy dust.

Magic Happens in Every Garden

Home Place Fairy Folk are busy working the gardens here at my farm.

This morning I invited this sweet little shape shifting fairy inside for honey sweetened biscuits, fruit and cheese….

She happily accepted my invitation and brought me a brilliant bouquet of forsythia.

Happy Spring!

Music: Seamstress to the Fairies, original composition on electric mbira.

The fairy folk have been quiet this past month as spring has been late to arrive in these north country hills.

Recently I caught sight of these two fairies out and about enjoying an afternoon of welcome sun.

Home Place Fairies practice gentle acts of kindness by sharing as well as always lending a helping hand.

Old Horse is Guardian of the Home Place Faires, he watches over them and protects them. Tallulah Blue is one of the oldest of the Home Place Fairies, she is very beautiful and very wise.

Each spring Tallulah Blue along with her fairy friends NightinGale and Little Lu gather twigs of apple and pear which they dip into the enchanted waters of the Stream of Dreams making powerful wands.

All in all, just another magical day in Fairyland.

Children and Fairies ascend the hill during the magical hours when Fairy Folk are actively shape shifting.

As seamstress to Fairies and mortal children alike,  I have seen many unusual sights. I spend the coldest days of winter and the wettest days of spring making costumes for children who want to dress as fairies as well as making real fairy wear for the fairy folk.

A trend I have noticed in the past few years is how the Home Place Fairies are requesting more and more clothing that has human attributes, such as sneakers and blue jeans to wear under their fairy finery, even cowgirl boots! Human children are easy enough to measure and tailor to their costume needs. But fairy folk…whew that is altogether different.

First of all, historically there have always been only so many days a year when the Home Place Fairies have had the ability to shape shift and increase their size to that of an average mortal child…..at which time I can measure and sew a garment fitting in size.  Once completed I sprinkle on a bit of fairy dust and the garments are enchanted forever and always. This enchantment allows their clothing to increase or decrease in size according to their fairy needs…and shape shifting hours. Well maybe I am just getting older or times are changing in the fairy realm, because the fairy folk around here seem to be shape shifting more than ever before. Why with the children dressing as fairies and the fairies wanting human wear, I tell you when the fairies shape shift to increase their size and then run about with the children, I can barely discern who is a true fairy and who be a mortal human child!

Blue fairies on the blue berry hill or are they children?

Paco has been known to dance with the Fae.

Are they shape-shifting  fairies with children and pets or are they children as fairies with pets?

At the end of the day does it matter?

Happy May Day from the Home Place Fairies and Old Horse!

Spring Dreaming Fairy Garden in Maine

The winter snows will eventually melt and spring will arrive followed by summer.

Long ago a small troop of Home Place Faires enchanted a garden on the north side of a small mountain somewhere in Maine.

Here Ye, Hear Ye… Spring is right around the corner!

The back meadow at my farm is visited daily by a flock of Robins as well as a gathering of Blue Jays.

How lovely the air smells, how soft the ground once hard has become beneath my rubber booted feet.

Soon fairies will awaken from their long winter slumber and leave the forest to join Old Horse and myself in the gardens.

For now I tidy up the glass greenhouse readying to start planting seeds; I  water the pithouse more often now as the temperatures rise; the sun shines brighter and the days are longer and warmer.

Dreaming … Spring is just around the corner!

“What if I fall?”

“Oh, but my darling,”

“What if you fly?”

So much magic and wonder surrounds us.

The inhabitants of the Fairy Kingdom teach us about hope, and the magic of possibility.

About marching to your own drum no matter how different from those around you.

The world is full of wonder and the possibilities are endless.

Some Fairy Fun Facts;

Erin Hansen is an Australian Poet. When she was 18 years old she wrote this lovely poem which resonated around the world far and wide. Erin began writing seriously around age 11 and started a blog in 2011.

There is freedom waiting for you,

On the breezes of the sky,

And you ask “What if I fall?”

Oh, but my darling,

What if you fly?

Thank you Erin for telling your own story out loud.
