sings, "....laughing all the way....."
napaea, i ADORE your faery stories. It sounds like you know *exactly* how wild and mischievious those borrowing faeries can be! I was
grinning from ear to ear
reading the bra story. OMG that is SOOOO Them!
And yes, after talking to my sister sagitarian recently, i think it's true -- a few of my Fae may have decided to stow away in the Christmas boxes I recently sent. My craft room/guest bedroom is the one that's infested with Fae folk (and the one I could close off from the toddler, and keep all the Christmas presents wrapped and unmolested until mailing time).
Of course, I've no reason to complain about the Fae population boom in my home. I *did* hang numerous faeries (and angels) from various points in the book case, as well as pictures of them (like Edward Robert Hughes' "Midsummer Night's Eve") on the wall ... so, I'm sure they saw it as an invitiation to move right in!
Since I have visitors that occassionally stay with us, a few things will be swapped among their Faeries and mine. Example? My sister in law and her fiancee were with us over the New Year's. Now, as I was tidying up the room after their departure, I find 2 water bottles, several oranges, a pair of earrings and a bracelet *that I had complimented her on* now in our possession.
I think the bracelet was an attempt to give me something nice
Their hearts were in the right place, but I'll make sure it gets returned, if ya know what I mean.
I feel like I've started a Faery support group with the Thread.
"Hello, my name is Alissa. And, I'm a Fae-friend."
(....waiting to hear the resoudning chorus of "HI ALISSA!")
