Branches were for sweeping, leaves were plates. We pick things from the garden as well, my parents always had gardens and fruit trees. and we'd invite magical guests in. For me it was Narnia, and fawns. You remind me of the pure magic of being a child, may it always be within our hearts. (I read your comment about your white pine on Ciara's blog. a tree like that has a real presence don't you think? I hope you are enjoying your new home as much as we are enjoying ours and discovering new magic in it all the time!)

Now seeing this I am raring to go! As soon as spring gets here it will definitely be in the works and I am already planning:) What a wonderful job you did and I am sure the faeries are happy to have some shelter in your yard during the winter:) Check out http://picturingtheyear.blogspot.com/2012/11/a-faerie-village.html for my visit to the Florence Griswald Museum's exhibit.GailOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556665956317683667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-9175418516862355172013-01-18T19:59:31.660-05:002013-01-18T19:59:31.660-05:00This is the most perfect village & creation im...This is the most perfect village & creation imaginable.

Mr. Magpie certainly builds a lovely village and will be a dab hand at any repairs that are needed when the snow melts !!

We would always leave Easter egg peanut M&Ms on the birch bark tables as a treat for the fairies, and were always excited when we found them gone the next day. (The squirrels were very kind to play along and make us believe the fairies had actually come.) Such warm and beautiful thoughts on a snowy winter's day.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809181186200355366noreply@blogger.com
