A Few More Fairies

Well that Fairies' Tea Blog Party was lots of fun!  I can't seem to get fairies off of my mind.  I found a couple of pictures that I would have included if I'd just gotten them earlier.

These two images were shared by The Vintage Moth.

Fairies Tea Blog Party

Finally the day has arrived!  It's time to celebrate!

I've had the hardest time making decisions about this party!

When it came to dishes, I just couldn't choose one china pattern.  

My little friend, Lilliana of the Lilies said, "Must we choose only one?"

If I hadn't had Lilliana's help, I think I'd be using styrofoam cups.

I must confess that deciding on the treats nearly sent me into a tizzy.  Fortunately, my fairy friend Fern helped me narrow it down to nine pastries.  Do you think the mermaids will find it offensive that there are shoe shaped cookies?  They don't have any feet, you know.

I had the hardest time selecting the musical pieces for the fairy fest.  

Finally, I settled on two of my favorites.  I know the musicians will have more music to share.  Please, come in and join the fun.  Take a seat wherever you like.

You must not forget to download your special party favor before you leave.

Fun Facts about Places Fairies Frequent

 Fairies are fairly fearless when it comes to finding magical places to play.

Fairy Caves

They just love to visit waterfalls too!

Fairy Falls

Fairy Glen Waterfall in Penmaenmawr, Wales

Did you know that fairies also fancy fungus? 

Now we come to the directions for the 

Fabulous Fairies' Tea Blog Party!

First, you must find the Fairy Bridge.  Just look for the signs.

When you find the Fairy Bridge, 

follow the fairies all the way across.

 Now you will come to a path.

 Follow the path through to the Fairies' Wood.

Once you come to the Fairy Footpath, you'll know you're almost there!

 

Fun, friends, and fantasy will be waiting for you at the end of the Fairy Footpath.  You can almost see the party being set up at the end of the trail.  See you there!  Don't forget to bring your friends, or even your family, as long as they are friendly.
