I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes. Fairy royalty was spotted camping today! I wonder if they were jealous of the other fairies camping recently. Yet another container garden in my Miniature Garden Challenge.
Bright and early this morning I heard a tapping on my window. I pulled back the shades to see King Cormac Mac Fidaig's rosy, bearded face smiling through the glass. I rushed outside with my camera to capture the reunion of the royal family. In this photo, Queen AmberLynn is captivated by the King's recollection of the months of travel. Doesn't it look like she has missed him?
At the same time, Princess Jezelle pestered her brother for details on his long trip. Prince Finn could not explain things fast enough! Jezelle asked many questions. What a wonderful opportunity her brother has experienced!
Jezelle moves in close to whisper the question that the community will surely be asking; "did you find a wife?" A sly smile crawled across Little Mac's face and he left his sister in suspense.
I asked Queen AmberLynn if I could decorate her throne area and take some photos today for the upcoming holiday, Valentine's Day. She laughed and laughed and when she finally caught her breath, said "you know that fairies do not celebrate that holiday, right?" I replied that, yes, I did know that but I wanted to make a festive post for my blog and keep up with the holiday themes.
She nodded her head, smiled her sweet smile and said "that would be alright with me but quickly because today I am helping with the construction of my new housing."
The Queen sits in the middle of Valentine's decorations, finding it hard to keep her wings from fluttering with excitement thinking about her new housing.
Not only have the flowers surrounding the Queen's throne bloomed nicely, but the courtyard flower are also coming in and should be in full bloom shortly.
On my way back inside, I saw a family of mice. They introduced themselves to me before I asked to take a photo. Thomas and Rosie (L to R) were new in the community and brought their son, Tommy. I was able to capture their Valentine gift giving (because mice DO celebrate Valentine's Day). I found out that the family is currently staying with a fairy family who has taken them in until the rest of the new homes are built. They hope to move into a home that is red and white because those are Rosie's favorite colors.
Thomas has given his wife, Rosie, a bouquet of her favorite roses and a red heart-shaped box full of cheeseballs while her son, Tommy, has found one large rose to gift as well.
Queen AmberLynn and her daughter Jezelle have returned from their tour of other fairy communities. Many fairies have gathered to welcome them home.
The two are quite pleased with the festive decorations adorning the Queen's Throne area.
Happy the Snowman, Geraldine and Gerald (L to R) help to add more presents under the tree.
Fairies have begun to exchange their presents. Samm and Tink are ready to open theirs, Rose is watching the train go round the tree, the younger fairies are playing in the snow and Grace is hiding amongst the ferns, watching everyone enjoying the celebration.
Violet and Roselynn are ready to munch on the Gingerbread house they made, but not before offering some to the rest of the community.
