Much to my surprise and delight, I discovered that I'm not alone in my love of fairies. So even though I will be posting other "finds" on future Fridays, hosted by Colleen at The Crazy Eight site, I thought they deserved at least one more week in the limelight.
(Ahem, I have enough stuff to do another 12 weeks or more but I won't. Maybe I'll drop a little fairy dust in once in awhile - just to keep the magic alive.)
So today, all you fairy lovers,
I give you
the author and artist of the "Flower Fairy".Cicely Mary Barker
Here....pull up a wee chair and have a spot of tea. This little flower fairy tea set is no more than an inch high, so, mind you don't spill.
Comfy?....'k, so here are a few of my favorite fairy flower books.
Are you as crazy about little boxed collections of books as I am?
I can get lost in almost every page or painting.
Of course, for the background details of all things "flower fairy" andthe life of Cicely Mary Barker,
below is the ultimate reference book on every fairy and flower she
So, thanks for joining me today. I always enjoy your sweet comments - they never fail to put a smile on my face.
...and a fairy happy friday to everyone!
Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!
God.
My (growing) family.

I love those types of fairies. They remind me of a 1920 style fairy!
These were magical, Wanda! :)
I think I would prefer that Z gets into fairies than into Barbie or the Disney princesses.
gorgeous!
So lovely Wanda. The little boxed collections of the books are darling... I adore the tiny little tea set. Maybe because I love tea!
