Very Special Valentine

It's been quite a while since I've sat and talked with Grace but just this morning she came to me, asking for my help. It turns out that she's been quite busy with The Fairy Bugle which is a newsletter she's been in charge of that helps keep all the fairies in the know, especially busy fairies like the Queen and distant friends like Buddy the Elf. Grace asked if I could bring my camera to the garden to capture a special moment she was tipped off on. I was eager to help and followed her, being sure to be discrete. Before hiding amidst the greenery, Grace pointed in the direction she wanted me to focus on. I looked toward a red tin container with some colorful flowers and also noticed two fairies, Caspian and Tink. I assumed this was what Grace wanted me to capture so I kept my distance and took some pictures.

It turns out that Caspian had informed Grace ahead of time that he planned to ask Tink a very important question and wanted to capture the moment in photo and story. 

Caspian pulled out a bouquet of flowers and offered them to Tink.

"These are for you," Caspian said. "I realize I get you flowers every Valentine's Day but these are a special kind of flower."

"Oh?" Tink questioned. "How so?"

"This bouquet is actually not your Valentine's gift. I admit, I didn't get you a Valentine gift this year but it was because I was planning something much better. This, Tink, is an engagement bouquet and I am offering it to you in hopes that you'll accept it, and me as your mate."

Tink immediately jumped up and down excitedly. "Of course I do! Yes, yes, yes! Absolutely, one hundred times yes!" Her wings took her up into the air and head over feet into a few aerial tumbles before she flew back down and wrapped her arms around Caspian who was laughing.

Tink took the bouquet in her arms and smiled wide, finding it hard to keep from giggling with glee. Grace came out of hiding to congratulate the two and let Tink know that this would be in the newsletter and that photos had been taken to preserve the moment. Grace and I left the two to enjoy each other's company and talk about all the possibilities the future has.

Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours. Did anything great happen to any of My Fairy Folks this Valentine's Day?

Thanksgiving with the Hoos

Hootie Hoo

Thanksgiving here at Grandma's Enchanted Fairy Garden was a new take on old traditions. Hootie Hoo was unable to be home for the holidays since he is currently traveling with his friends Hazel and Grover. Mr. and Mrs. Hoo were sad to hear this news since Thanksgiving is their favorite holiday, but decided to turn this situation into a perfect opportunity for a new tradition. This year, a few fairies were dinner guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hoo and enjoyed so much food and friendly conversations with a lot of laughter.

Mr. and Mrs. Hoo enjoy the company of a few fairies from the community. Each guest arrived with an offering. On the table are some cheesy broccoli, apple turnovers and Elderberry wine.

Susie Q (rear left) arrived with some ears of corn and Sharie with a bale of fresh cut wheat. The girls are enjoying one another's company before the main course is served.

Nadya looks after Luca who can hardly keep his eyes open, perhaps due to drinking too much Elderberry wine. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Caspian (bottom left), Blossom and Tink are sharing their thoughts on what they are thankful for this year.

Explosive Celebration

Reginald was spotted leaving his house with an armful of fireworks. It looks like the July 4th celebration is kicking off early this year!

He shows off some decorations he helped put up around the community. 

Some fairies gather and chat it up, waiting for the BBQ to begin. From left to right is Simone, Ivy, Julip and Bridget.

Tink has been invited to spend time with some new faces. To the left is Dreagan who is a magician. Seated on the ground is Caspian who is telling a story to an enamored Tink. Behind them is Twyla and she is the sister of both Caspian and Dreagan.

Dreagan holds a magical wand and boasts that he is the most fashionable of his siblings (although it may just be to annoy Twyla who has always taken pride in being a fashionista).

Tink seems mesmerized by Caspian's chin dimple as he rambles on and on, but she doesn't mind. Also, fireworks are very difficult to photograph but here's a video!
