My Fairy Folks: Mina and Willow

I recently got an email from one of My Fairy Folks that introduced me to some new friends and new traditions. This is Mina who's mother, Willow, graciously decided to share this moment with me, which I will now share with all of you (with her permission, of course).

Willow from Los Angeles, CA writes: "This is a tradition my mother began with me as a child for St. Patrick's Day. Now I am doing it with my child who has asked to include every major holiday dinner." So, this Thanksgiving, they filled a small plate with small portions of all the food they served to offer it to the fairies. 

And here is where they left their food this year; in front of this statue that keeps an eye the offering.

Thank you, Mina and Willow, for sharing your fairy-related tradition! If any other Fairy Folks have traditions they'd like to share that involve fairies, gnomes, or any other mystical beings, please feel free to share them with me so I can share them here on the blog. My contact information is below.

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.

Local Happenings: Fairy Garden Class

Hello Fairy Folk! I wanted to give you some information on my second Fairy Garden class at Sunshine Growers Nursery. You will be required to purchase a minimum $12 but the class is free and you are strongly encouraged to bring any existing items from home that you'd like to use in a fairy garden scene (a container is suggested although these are also sold at the nursery). Please (CLICK HERE) to read more about this nursery.

New this month is the addition of a fairy terrarium guide. Containers for this are limited so feel free to bring your own to guarantee you can participate in this portion. 

We have learned from our first class that decor supervision needs to be tighter, so for those of you who attended our class in October, know that the number of items you are able to collect from our bins will be monitored which is why bringing items from home is strongly suggested. You are also free to purchase items in the store at the front counter.

And similar to the previous class, there WILL be a raffle near the end that you must be present for.

WHO: Hosted by Grandma Sandy, anyone who purchases a minimum of $12 at the nursery can participate, ages 12+
WHAT: Thanksgiving/Christmas-Themed Fairy Garden Class
WHEN: November 14 @ 10am-12pm
WHERE: 34017 Yucaipa Blvd., Yucaipa CA, 92399
