Agatha and I hosted a magical Fairy Tea today for some lovely girls. We studied Fairies all week by watching a fairy movie, reading fairy books, studying the art of Fairy Tea, dressing up, playing with paper dolls, and writing a story about what we have learned about Fairy Lore. It has been very fun for me because I love fairies and the break from princess everything has been nice. The tea was our culmination and was beautiful. Aggie posted about it so you can read her account. Funny thing though, I not much for this kind of thing (my girls know Santa is just a fun pretend that we play to remember the spirit of giving...) but while I was cleaning up this little ceramic figurine caught my eye. It was lying in my flower beds next to our tea table. The wings were broken off, so we repaired them. Aggie thinks the fairies flew over because our tea was so yummy, ate the crumbs, and this injured fairy stayed behind so we could help her. She thinks maybe the little fairy will come to life when we are sleeping. Maybe...:) She says fairies can see Jesus all the time. If that is the case, I really do want to be a fairy!

Cottingley Fairies
I saw a movie today on the Cottingley Fairies from England in 1914. It was quite fun and magical. I love fairies and am trying deperately to inspire my Little Princess Agatha to play imaginatively in the Fairy Realm. We are going to do a fairy unit this week in homeschool and throw a fairy tea on Friday. Maybe she will play fairies with me. Or maybe Gwyn will be my fairy child.
