About a year ago, I discovered that we had a house fairy! She would flit and flutter in the wee hours of the night; hiding things like tea cups, spoons, feathers, bobby pins and jewelry. I would often see glimpses of her pixie dust in the light of the moon on nights that I was watching for shooting stars or dreaming of secret lands where I turned into a cat and lived on cupcakes.I was so delighted to discover our new house guest, so I quickly made her a modest little home (after all, she did need a proper place to hang her hat).
It appeared that our new winged friend was so thrilled with her new home that bean sprouts popped up out of the ground and glitter was not only found up and down her aqua side walk, it was also found on my pillow!Word quickly got out among the local wee folk that we had constructed a magical fairy dwelling that had delighted our new house guest…it was not long until we had to make room for more winged creatures!
After a few months of moonlight fairy festivals, we had to formally invite three gnomes to live among our gardens due to the increase of nocturnal activity! Their job is to look after the fairies and to keep Lady Luna away. Lady Luna is more than just my cat…oh she is much, much more…. Do you see how GORGEOUS she is…and she is as smart and fabulous as she is gorgeous ……the fairies do not realize Lady Luna just wants to play and are fearful of her curious ways! So the gnomes keep Lady Luna away from the fairies.
A year later, we have increased our fairy garden into a bustling fairy village! I am always finding secret nooks in my garden to transform into magical miniture dwellings..
