Tiny G

Tiny Wonderful

Early this morning I heard a soft tapping at my door, and whom should I find there greeting me? Why Tiny G, the smallest of the Home Place Fairy Folk. As is the custom each and every spring Tiny G hand delivers my invitation to The Grand Fairy Spring Ball. Fairy balls are grand occasions with much planning and preparation begun months beforehand. As Seamstress to the Fairies I am responsible for designing and stitching together a vast array of elaborate fairy wear.

Little G is responsible for delivering all the invitations to the Grand Fairy Spring Ball and she takes her mission seriously, checking her list several times over.

Afterwards I invite G into my kitchen for a sip of honey and blueberry nectar tea.

 

 

So Much for You to See

In a Garden Magic Happens each and every day.

 

 

 

 

 

Some things are more visible than others, and it can take a keen and discerning eye to see the smallest of the small.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The closer you look, the more you will see.

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are fairies in my gardens and I am guessing in yours too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes we don’t always recognize the most magical beings around us, nor see them fully for who they are.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fairies are Pranksters and love to play games, like hide and never be seen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Take a good look around your own garden,

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be curious and venture out.

 

 

 

 

 

There is so much for you to see.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Magic really does happen, all one has to do is look.

Dreams

The thing about dreams is

Dreams

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They color your life with hope and possibilities.

Dreams are transformative, offering comfort, and encouragement.

Seamstress to The Fairies

As Seamstress to the Fairies I dress fairy folk…. this is what I do.

Since early spring fairies of all shapes and sizes have been tapping at my door.

 

The fairies come from near and far

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They arrive for their final fittings of fairy clothing I have been sewing for them over the long cold months of winter.

Fitting for Fairy Dresses

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am pleased to be adding the finishing touches for outfits they will wear while attending their annual Grand Fairy Spring Ball.

Seamstress to The Fairy Folk

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fairies shape shift to the size of mortal children when they come to me for their fittings. This way I am able to comfortably sew their clothing to fit their bodies perfectly.

After their garments are adjusted and sewn , I sprinkle them with fairy dust and hang them from a chandelier made from antlers of stag.

Last they are set in the twilight beneath the light of springtime’s first new moon. This increases their magical powers ten fold.

Another small bit of fairy dust is all that is required to reduce their clothing to wee fairy size.

Fairy dust is very magical,  it allows fairy clothing to fluctuate in size just as the fairy folk do when they shape shift.

Just a wee pinch of fairy dust is all it takes!

Home Place Fairy Folk love all that glimmers and glows and have a deep affection for jewelry.

Fairies collect jewelry left for them by human children or that which is made especially for them by the Trolls from the Knoll.

Did you know that somewhere right about now a Home Place Fairy is trying on an outfit for The Annual Grand Fairy Spring Ball?

This is a fabulous occasion attended by all members of the Fairy Realm and is held each and every year in a secret location by invitation only.

Meanwhile back in the Fairy Wardrobe Chamber at my farm… human children try on an assortment f magical clothing.

You are as “magical” as your imagine yourself to be.

I must confess, I have been known to sing and dance with the Fairies in May!

Welcome Fairies…one and all!

Collecting Star Dust

I startled La Rosa this morning as she collected star dust in the Enchanted Forest.

Home Place Fairy Folk gather star dust which they grind into powder, precious and fine.

This powder is bottled in magical vessels becoming fairy dust, which enhances it’s powers ten fold.

Fairy Dust has many uses. Each spring the Home Place Fairies leave me a bottle of their magical dust to sprinkle upon the clothing I have made for them during the cold winter months.

Just a pinch of fairy dust gives a  single fairy dress magical powers such as being able to reduce from mortal clothing size to wee fairy size and back again as the wearer so desires!

Fairy Folk have a way of seeing the beauty that is to come….
