Look! All of these lovely fairies were created by English artist Mary Cicely Barker in the early 1900's. A few years back my sister gave me this cup as a gift and I fell in love! The fairy on the cup is called the "Rose Fairy" and she fits me perfectly with my love for roses. It sits in my china cabinet for fear of breaking it as Royal Worcester has discontinued the Flower Fairy line. Why on earth they would discontinue something so pretty is beyond me!
This book came out a couple of years ago that I just have to have! It is called Fairyopolis. Look how beautiful the cover is! It chronicles Mary Cicely Barker's encounters with fairies through the years. So, if you believe in fairies just remember this...
The best times of the day to see a fairy are at twilight, midnight, just befo
re sunrise, and midday. And the best time of the year to see a fairy is on Midsummer's eve, as this is the most magical time for all fairies! Flower Fairies love music and dancing, and hold many balls and parties throughout the year, but on this special night they throw the most wonderful party of all, and every fairy in Fairyopolis is invited! Fairies don't like to be discovered, and are very good at disappearing quickly (with the help of their magical fairy dust), so you must be very careful and very patient if you are to see one.Garden fairies come at dawn, bless the flowers then they're gone.
