A Flutterby Gift

Sometimes, we Faeries like to gather in the Treehouse and talk about all manners of things sparkling!
Yesterday, this conversation was joined by my faery friend Meadow's marvelous face painting! Hooray! Just look at how talented she is!

Side View! Meadow is soooo good!
Ooh, I feel so lucky to have such lovely and talented buddies! :D

Friends and Fancies,

Fruitastically Fun!

Oh my goodness gracious.

I just flew back from a festival at the tippy top-east of California, and it was HOT. Hotter than hot. So hot that I thought my wings might melt...and when it is that hot, it is too hard to eat regular food! And when this faery doesn't eat, she gets a bit...loopy.

So what is one to do when it's simply too boiling for regular nourishment??!? Icy cold fruit. Yum, yummy yum yum! And I was so happy about my fruit that I made a small homage to its wonderfulness...along with (bad) haikus.

Watermelon! Wow!
There is no better idea
Than food you can drink!

Not very piney,
Nor are you so apple-y.
But delicious? Yes!

Pink blossoms in spring,
Tart, sweet fruit in the summer,
Cherries, mon cheri.

Apples for teacher,
Like medicine, one a day?
Or - just enjoy them.

Ahh, fruity wonders. I like incorporating teeny fruits into face paintings, because I find them to be less girly than flowers but they are still colorful, and can evoke a strong sense of season!

There will most likely be an appendix to this post, but here is is for now! *smile*
