Wishing you always...
Walls for the wind,
A roof for the rain
And tea beside the fire.
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all that your heart may desire.

Flower Fairies are tiny creatures (the biggest is only 20cm tall) that live in the tree tops, marshes, forest floor, wayside and gardens. @FolkloreThurs #FolkloreThursday 🌸🧚🏻♀️🌸

Whenever a seed sprouts, a Flower Fairy baby is born. From snow drops to blackthorns, lilacs to weeping willows, each fairy is responsible for looking after their own plant and keeping it strong and healthy throughout the years to come. #FolkloreThursday @FolkloreThurs 🌼🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♂️🌸
