The Magic of Fairies
What are the magical Fairies of Folklore?
Where do they come from?
There is a couple of stories that I love about the origin of fairies.
One of them is that when the very first baby laughed out loud for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces. Each one of those thousand pieces became a fairy.
(from ~J. M. Barrie's 1902 novel The Little White Bird)
There is another that speaks of Children being Bundles of Joy.
That when a child dies, that joy is believed to form a fairy. The fairy is kept alive by the memory of a child so as long as the dead child is remembered, the fairy stays alive.
(from ~ Fairy Dust, by Karen McCombie)
Fairies have always seemed so full of fun and always mischievious.
Who among us can help but smile when we see their delicate little angelic forms.
Today I bring you a darling collection of the;
Whispering Willow Fairies,
may they enchant your home and heart with their mystical powers!
