Magic Is In The Air - The Return Of The Fairies

Just a little warm weather and
the fairies have moved back
at Purple Chocolat Home.


If you go out early in the morning
and are very very still you might
be able to see them.


They love collecting the dew from
the flowering thyme


and tending their elaborate
houses


and overseeing the herb garden.


This little gentleman 
keeps the pesky snails
under control while
patrolling the entire
garden.





Magic exists everywhere
in the Fairy Garden.


I know they help everything
to grow more beautifully.



But the greatest magic
of all that exists in my fairy garden....


Is seeing the magical twinkle
in the eyes of my grandchildren
as they delight in the fairies.

Two little granddaughters
could not wait to put out
the fairy houses to encourage
the fairies to return!



The magic will be shared
with
Pink Saturday
Seasonal Sunday
Outdoor Wednesday
Wow Us Wednesday
Open House Party

Oops, I forgot to mention
that the fairy houses are
built by Home Goods/TJ Maxx
and garden shops,
and the fairies hail from boutiques,
garden shops and the first one with
the cute stockings was from Wal Mart
years ago.

Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

    Good morning Jacqueline...oh how I believe...I BELIEVE!!! I believe in purple (blueberries are my favorite edible purple) and I do, I DO I DO believe in chocolate, for I mix the TWO together every morning in my Vanilla Greek Yogurt from Trader Joes and as far as the faeries? I look for them every day in my imagination. Today I spent some time in my garden and lo and behold, I saw a bunny pop his head out of the shrubbery; I do believe he had wings!

    Thank you again for the link to the cake source; her site is now right under the photo...MERCI! Anita

    I love this! I am having a "DOH" moment right now. I was trying to think of a "theme" for the flower beds while trying to figure where I would put a fairy garden for the Bitty one. Thanks for the inspiration! Yours is just gorgeous!

    I just know that there are ferries in our woods, but perhaps we don't see them because there are no houses for them. I'll have to remedy that before the grandchildren visit.

    How cute. It's like a little wonderland. By the way, I just made your chocolate yeast bread tonight with dried cherries instead of the chocolate chips. It was awesome. I'll definitely be posting it in the future.

    As we were talking the other night, I think Talley was exploring the fairy garden -- I should have taken a peak. I am sure the girls, and the boys love them. Joni
