The Christmas Fairies provide a whole new level of fun for your family. In many ways the concept is a lot like the Magic Elves but with some essential differences…

1. The Fairies are completely in one’s imagination…makes it easier…no Fairy to buy. Fairy Dust is a possibility however and you can use a bit of gold glitter to sprinkle about whenever the Fairies make their visits.

2. Fairies are totally unpredictable. You never know when they are going to pop by. They are most likely to visit during times when there are no other major holidays or events occurring. And they seldom visit between Thanksgiving and Christmas since that’s when the Magic Elves take their turn at visiting.

3. You can sometimes tempt the fairies to visit by setting up a small miniature tea set. This inviting setup encourages them to take a short break from flickering about the world. They also like the colors of red and gold.

4. Fairies aren’t as worried about “good and bad” behavior, they like to focus on “dreams and wishes”. However, they WILL report to Santa, so best to keep on the GOOD list.

5. Fairies sometimes leave behind little mementos of their visits. Frequently these are “tiny” in nature. So if you discover miniature tree ornaments, tiny books, or other such items…they just might be from the fairies, especially if they are accompanied by a bit of fairy dust.

6. Sometimes fairies get trapped in unexpected places, like inside the fridge, inside a bottle, or dresser drawer. When this happens, watch out….have you ever seen what happens when a fairy gets mad?

You may very well be related to the fairies....I think I must be for I was born in October....one of the two favorite gathering months for the Fairies!! LOL

I have some new things to share with everyone but I want to get the pictures up first!!! When we went ot the Renaissance Fair there was the Fairy Forest and it was cool...Evan got his picture taken with the Queen of the Fairies again....but the best part....is one of the vendors had all kinds of Fairy Garden stuff...most I could not afford...LOL...But I did buy a couple fairy items...although not specifically for the gardens. One is a little silver pouch with Faire Dewdrop tea....it has a little tag with a poem about the tea and fairies....SO with a little creativity I am planning to write a poem about Christmas Fairies tea...and make some pouches for the fairies to leave....you know there are so many yummy teas out there so I can't figure out which flavor to use! LOL

Also Maureen sent me an idea for making a fairy wishes jar ...with dandelions....and I picked up another version of a wishes jar at the fair...I'll share more about these later....I think little girls will love the fairy stuff...not meaning to be sexist....but little Evan would probably just try to squish any fairy he might encounter!!! ...LOL :cry:

Here's the poem I made up for the Fairy tea.....now I want to make some up in the little pouches and take a picture to show you...

Little Fairy, twinkling bright
Gather your magic through the night
Melting the snowflakes, glistening cold
Only as much as a teacup will hold

Christmas spices, flavored just right
Warmed by the fire, what a delight
Fairy tea in your cup,
Warms the soul so drink it up!

Thanks!!

Right now at DEALS (which is a dollar store in our area) They have fairy ornanaments. They are about 6 inches tall they have dangling legs with little shoes and come in a bright green, yellow, lavendar, blue or peach. Have to look carefully though because some of them have broken crowns. For a dollar they are pretty cute and a novelty. They would look cute tucked in a basket with the fairy tea...and perhaps a minature tea set, and a jar of fairy wishes!!

My neighbor and friend is painting a fairy and Fairy Garden on one of those patio type stones to put in my fairy garden. Now that it has stopped raining for at least two days...LOL...I actually have some plants in the fairy beds!
