Fairy Garden Dreams

Do you believe in Fairies?

I have always been fascinated with Fairies

since I was a small child. 

So I created a lilliputian world 

to attract a Fairy of my very own. 

Step inside the gates to the Fairy Kingdom

and I will show you their world.

Fairies are very shy, so we must approach carefully....

Shhhhh! There she is - the Forget-Me-Not Fairy. 

She is taking a rest from her duties 

of attending to these sweet, innocent flowers of spring.

She is deep in thought as she blesses each tiny bloom. 

Her delicate wings are busy this time of year, 

carrying her all over the garden 

to carry out her duties. 

Tiny ducklings keep her company in her little garden,

keeping pesky slugs and insects at bay. 

Mama duck keeps a close eye on her little ones,

next to a potted Forget-Me-Not and a garden cloche

nestled among the woodland ferns. 

Her tiny cat peers curiously at us next to the bird bath. 

A sweet painted wheelbarrow stands ready for service

behind the garden gate. 

What's this? The Garden Gnome tries to make a getaway. 

He is very shy and perhaps we have frightened him. 

He holds a beneficial lady bug. 

He tries to hide in the Forget-Me-Nots. 

It might be time for us to leave this magical world

 before our Fairy decides to take flight. 

Once gone, it is hard to lure them back. 

With one last glimpse of this magical kingdom, 

We return through the kingdom gates

 to the land of mere mortals. 

But once you have glimpsed the world of Faerie, 

You are forever changed.

If you would like to create your own World of Faerie, 

I highly recommend this book....

My sweet Garden Fairy was purchased Here

She was designed to capture the lovely fairy essence of the art of Cicely Mary Barker

I hope this inspires you to create your very own Fairy Garden

to attract a lovely Fairy of your own.

Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of disheveled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.
-William Butler Yeats,- "The Land of Heart's Desire," 1894

When the winds of March are wakening
the crocuses and crickets,
Did you ever find a fairy near
some budding little thickets,...
And when she sees you creeping up
to get a closer peek,
She tumbles through the daffodils,
a playing hide and seek.
-Marjorie Barrows-

Every time a child says, "I don't believe in fairies,"
There is a fairy somewhere
That falls down dead.
-James Matthew Barrie-
Peter Pan
