A Fairy Fourth

| Flower Roberts

American freedom is a thing to celebrate.

The fairies realized that a party was in order and planned a parade.

There were prizes awarded for the best decorated entries.

Carie the Tooth Fairy won for her bike decor.

Several floats were constructed.

Tink enjoyed riding on one of these.

IMG_6964

Queen Mona decorated her carriage.

A patriotic tear drop trailer joined in.

Even the onlookers were in costume.

Wingrid stayed awake for the festivities.

Ruth lead the proceedings, of course.

IMG_6969

My favorite entries were the little kids in wagons.

Happy Fourth of July!

Fairy Egg Hunt with a Hitch

| Flower Roberts

The fairies begged us to have an egg hunt over Easter weekend.

Ruth and I hid the eggs.

Tinker Bell brought cupcakes.

IMG_5301

The Tooth Fairy brought Sundaes. I think she has a sweet tooth.

IMG_5296

Rosebud insisted we serve tea.

Those Playmobil fairies wear their skirts too short for my taste. Baby don’t bend over!

The Queen was dressed in her best vinery. Looks like she’s been eating a chocolate bunny.

IMG_5304

Poison Ivy is way too competitive. She brought a very large basket.

IMG_5305

I loved Wingrid’s hat. It was just her color. (literally)

IMG_5294

I did wish that Ruth had not kept pointing out where we hid the eggs.

IMG_5313

A chipmunk showed up.

He spent most of his time finding the food. No surprise there.

When the finders are also fliers, the sky is the limit as far as hiding places go.

IMG_5314

I am not sure what happened?

IMG_5315

Our egg hunt turned into a chick rescue.

IMG_5317

I should have known not to use those magic eggs!

Happy Easter Peeps

The Fairies Go Camping

| Flower Roberts

The fairies wanted to celebrate the Spring Equinox by going on a camping trip.

I agreed only if RBG went along to chaperone.

They seem to be having a great time.

IMG_4826

Of course Wingrid, being a ghoul, must sleep during the day.

IMG_4830

RBG has taken up fishing.

IMG_4835

I hope this won’t encourage her to retire anytime soon.

IMG_4834

Peacock needs to keep slathering on the sunscreen.

IMG_4843

There’s nothing worse than burned blue skin.

IMG_4841

I hope all of you are enjoying this first day of spring as much as the fairies.

How to Build a Fairy House

| Flower Roberts

I learned a lot last weekend at the Fairy House Festival at Latta Plantation.

I had no idea that fairy architecture was so complex.

IMG_4480

It seems that they like to have paths to their door.

IMG_4492

Bark is their favorite roofing material.

IMG_4469

Pine branches and pine cone are decorative accents.

IMG_4485

Stones are stools and acorns are bowl.

IMG_4483

Wisps of grass add flare.

IMG_4471

Some like the teepee style of house

IMG_4491

while others feel safer under ground

IMG_4478

or inside a tree stump.

IMG_4481

I must start gathering building materials to build my fairies a new house under the fig tree.

Stay tuned for updates.

The Storyteller’s Hat

| Flower Roberts

I have many hats, but none compares to the Storyteller’s hat.

It seemed to store stories in its castle.  There was even a draw bridge on the front.

The storyteller’s name is Wisha Granty.

Storytelling is her part-time gig.  She is also a fairy godmother and a pirate named Captain Rowdy.

I met her at the Fairy House Festival at Latta Plantation.

I did not get to stay for her stories, but her hat told some tales of its own.

It seems that Bugs Bunny is friends with Tinkerbell who flies with dragons when Peter is elsewhere.

The Red Ridinghood wolf  is the supervisor over the Two(oops) Little Pigs.

Snow White is a security guard who works with a gargoyle to guard the drawbridge.

The wicked witch does advising atop the castle, coaching princesses to be more assertive.

The hat even had a Halloween side with a Jack-o-lantern, graves stones a ghost, and some gargoyles. I sensed some dark magic coming from this side of the hat.

The hat was so full of magic I was afraid to touch it.

Wisha Granty must be one heck of a storyteller and godmother if she owns a hat like that.

It was nothing short of a work of art.

Wisha had a hat like that.

Fairy Fashion

| Flower Roberts

I learned a few fashion tricks this weekend at the Fairy House Festival.

IMG_4506

I need to keep up with the trends while dressing my own fairies.

I was happy to see that sensible shoes are in.

IMG_4458

I found an assortment of hats to accent any outfit.

Wings come in all shapes and sizes.

Hair embellishments are a necessity.

IMG_4519

There was a wide variety of wands.

Those fairies have a magical flare for fashion.

IMG_4502

I must pay closer attention.

A Whole Lot of Magic at Latta

| Flower Roberts

If you were wondering where all the fairies had gone yesterday,

IMG_4489

they were all down at Latta Plantation for the Fairy House Festival.

IMG_4520

I have never seen some many fairies.

IMG_4542

All colors, sizes and ages came to construct a magical fairy colony along the wooded paths in the Faylinn Village.

IMG_4475

In additions to the construction of dwellings,

IMG_4478

IMG_4480

fairies could also get their faces painted, make crafts,

IMG_4513

play games, listen to stories,

IMG_4510

plant flowers, blow bubbles and learn about nature.

There were even flying lessons available for the bravest little fairies.

IMG_4531

My next post will be on Fairy Fashion.  They have a flare for fashion!
