My Fairy Folks: New Year Tradition

Our friends from Los Angeles, California are back with a fairy offering. This time Willow and little Mina have shared with us their New Year tradition.

Top, clockwise: Steak and gravy, Black eyed peas pot licker, oatmeal cookie, cornbread and butter, corn, honey glazed carrots, and steamed broccoli and cauliflower.

Willow writes, "in the South, we eat black-eyed peas on New Years day to bring good luck for the year. Being from southern roots, I made my black-eyed peas 'pot licker' style."

I'd never heard of pot licker before, so I looked it up and found that it is a term not often used outside of Southern America and means that something is made with pork fat and is so yummy that you want to lick the pot clean! I'm so jealous of the fairies that got to dig in to this feast!

Mina placed the plate of food in the area of their yard they have dedicated for fairies. They leave the food out overnight so that any hungry fairy can come as they wish for a lovely snack.

Thank you to all of My Fairy Folks that contributed throughout the holidays! I hope you all have a wonderful year and continue to check in here, especially in the next few months when we'll have a special announcement you'll want to know about.

Brianna's Tour - The School

One morning while Brianna had been chatting with Zookned, Leeann and Patrick, Queen AmberLynn made a surprise visit. After formal greetings the Queen announced that today she would take Brianna on a tour of the school. Brianna said farewell to her friends, excited to see the place where she would be spending most of her time as the newest teacher.

In a matter of moments, they both flew over the school yard. Brianna couldn't believe how much was going on! There were a few small groups of kids and teachers spread out all over, each learning something different.

AmberLynn and Brianna quietly land near the school yard.

The Queen explains to Brianna what her role will be in the school before she fills out paperwork with Radella. Beginning next semester, an herb garden should be in bloom to get Brianna started with her lessons.

Brianna and the Queen hash out the details on the new class.

The two of them continue with the tour of the school, meeting teachers and students in their learning spaces.

A large group of students gather round the Tree of Wisdom. This is where most of the lessons take place for all ages. Today they are learning about fairy history.

Willow, center, reads a story to the children in the play area. Willow has been in charge of teaching the younger children for a while now since she has shown that she is very patient and caring, and the children love when she sings her lessons.

April, left, and June enjoy some time with the music teachers, Maestro and Minstrel. Maestro is the taller of the two and specializes is composing music while Minstrel has a way with words, singing bardic tales. The duo create lovely melodies that harmonize and inspire. During their music classes children learn how to sing traditional fairy songs, read music and, with the help of guest teachers, learn to play instruments.
