A Learning Life has a garden of fairy houses created by her children, inspired by the book, “Fairy Houses Everywhere.â€
A movie trailer from Disney’s Tinkerbell. There’s a lot to see here at Disney’s Fairies website…very magical, very Disney. While there don’t forget to click on the “Create a Fairy†link. You do have to register but it’s free. Quinn was enchanted and so was his mommy. *smile* We played all the games, made our own fairy and talked about the magic of faeries. Since his mommy is always usually making faeries, I don’t think that he has any problem believing in their magic.

The Flowers
~ Robert Louis Stevenson ~
All the names I know from nurse:
Gardener’s garters, shepherd’s purse:
Bachelor’s buttons, lady’s smock,
And the lady hollyhock.
Fairy places, fairy things,
Fairy woods where the wild bee wings,
Tiny trees for tiny dames-
These must all be fairy names!
Tiny woods below whose boughs
Shady fairies weave a house;
Tiny treetops, rose or thyme,
Where the braver fairies climb!
Fair are grown-up people’s trees,
But the fairest woods are these;
Where, if I were not so tall,
I should live for good and all.

FAIRY SONG
The moonlight fades from flower and tree,
And the stars dim one by one;
The tale is told, the song is sung,
And the Fairy feast is done.
The night-wind rocks the sleeping flowers,
And sings to them, soft and low.
The early birds erelong will wake:
‘T is time for the Elves to go.
O’er the sleeping earth we silently pass,
Unseen by mortal eye,
And send sweet dreams, as we lightly float
Through the quiet moonlit sky;–
For the stars’ soft eyes alone may see,
And the flowers alone may know,
The feasts we hold, the tales we tell:
So ‘t is time for the Elves to go.
From bird, and blossom, and bee,
We learn the lessons they teach;
And seek, by kindly deeds, to win
A loving friend in each.
And though unseen on earth we dwell,
Sweet voices whisper low,
And gentle hearts most joyously greet
The Elves where’er they go.
When next we meet in the Fairy dell,
May the silver moon’s soft light
Shine then on faces gay as now,
And Elfin hearts as light.
Now spread each wing, for the eastern sky
With sunlight soon will glow.
The morning star shall light us home:
Farewell! for the Elves must go.
As the music ceased, with a soft, rustling sound the Elves spread their shining wings, and flew silently over the sleeping earth; the flowers closed their bright eyes, the little winds were still, for the feast was over, and the Fairy lessons ended.
