A Summer Residence...

A lovely day to build a Fairie abode...

 ..in a beautiful place where a river flows...

 ..a desk and chair for writing poetry or prose...

 .. a mossy carpet for cushioning little toes.

  The fortress dark and fortified..

 With runes of royalty hung with pride...

Kept alight with fire by day or by night...

 Will they open the gate for one midnight flight?

Only if the password spoken is right.

Fairie houses made by me and my nephew.

a fairy banquet

This quiet place by the river was so perfect and serene, I could've spent all day arranging leaves, tree bark and stones into tiny little houses. It is one of my favorite things to do whilst enjoying nature's fair splendor.

Here is the banqueting hall, all ready for the feast!

A tree bark roof will protect them from the sun and rain and a fire place with logs neatly stacked is an assurance of warmth for the cool night.

 The table is arrayed with forest finery and seats of stone to sit upon are there, ready for the arrival of the fair guests. The ground is carpeted with soft leaves and the fairies are all preparing their gowns of sparkling gossamer threads and soft petal shoes for the starlight fairy dance.  

 

Love, 

Emaline

Down the Rabbit Hole

Hello my Sweets! I wanted to show you all this post >> Fairy Abode That I found on this blog >>Down the Rabbit Hole. It was actually Farm Girl who sent the link to me. Thank you ever so much my dear lady!
Is not it so very adorable? You must go to the blog and look at the other pictures too. It is simply magical! This is something I would so much like to make! I keep telling myself I will and then I don't. *sigh*..... one day.
Anyway... you must go and look at it! It is so charming!
All my love, Em

Faerie Dolls

Here's a fun thing to do in Summer!
My sisters and I made these whilst sitting on the lawn as Marmee read to us on a peaceful Sunday afternoon. We started with dried up poppy seed pods (from 'Shirley Temple' poppies - That's the pink ones.) for the head and body. Then we tied on leaves and flowers from around the yard with grass and Voila! There you have a little faerie friend to play with.

*+*+*+*+*

I made this one below.

She has freckles! And notice the puffed sleeves!

*+* Aimee (aka Mabel) made this one. *+*
She used a green seed pod that hadn't dried up yet. And her skirt is So pretty! Isn't her hat just SO fabulous! I would love to have a Hollyhock hat like that!
*+* Genevieve (aka Olive) made this one. Isn't she cute? She looks like a "Flapper" from the 1920's don't you think? *+*+*

I also LOVE to make little tiny faerie houses out of things I find on forest floors and river beds. I'll post some pictures of my most recent one soon.
Have a fabulously Summery week!

*+*+* Fare Thee Well, Miss Emaline *+*+*
