Sometimes children’s books are the most profound:
“When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then
you become real.” ❤️

Strawberry season in the cozy world of Brambly Hedge for all of you 🥰🍓
In the early modern era, a long life was rare. High mortality rates meant second marriages & stepmothers abounded. Fairy tales, like Perrault’s Cinderella, offered young people the emotional blueprint to survive such familial pain -enter the wicked stepmother 🗝#FairytaleTuesday

As the summer solstice nears, so does June’s Strawberry Moon. The berry is native to North America & only went to Europe in the colonial era. Indigenous peoples named the moon for the fruit’s brief season. The moon is seen as a time of love, luck & prosperity 🍓 #SuperstitionSat
I was offline today, but I just wanted to pop by to wish you all a lovely night. I love these two. Have a cozy evening -night, all ❤️
