“Flowers are our miraculous tools from the heavens, entities of light and magic the we can feel and touch in this dimension. Flowers channel the essence of the fairy realm into our world, offering themselves as the ultimate design in creation, grace, and fancy.”
~Paulette Cole, from the foreward in Flowers for the Home, a beautiful book full of inspiration for the hostess with the mostest or gardener. You can have a taste here from my review if you like.
“From a chance encounter, gardeners, like lovers, often form lifelong relationships of great intensity. You see a plant, your eyes widen, your pulse accelerates, and huskily you ask even complete strangers its name, importunately tugging at coat sleeves.” ~ from Our Life in Gardens
“Flower beds are a perfumed paradise for fairies that desire beauty above all else. Every flower has its own fairy to care for it, which explains why most of my own fairy encounters have taken place in the garden.” ~ Fairyopolis, A Flower Fairies Journal
“Tread softly and speak quietly when you set foot in the fairies’ world. Who knows—perhaps you too will be allowed a glimpse into their magical kingdom?”
Another glimpse into the magical kingdom to come this week. . .
