A Fanciful Twist

Baking + Caking & Visits Galore

My last 7 days have been filled with people, and visits, and tales, and outings, and guests, and shopping, and planting and baking baking baking.

In fact, the last few days have felt much like this cake looks.

Baking, and cooking in general, are things that I love and come naturally to me.  So, throwing baking and making into my day is quick and a fun highlight for me.

I whip up pastries on a whim quite often, as I love to have something totally homemade when folks stop by.  Such was the case with this cake.  I call it, the Hansel and Gretel fairy tale cake. 

Why?

Well, it seems to me, just the cake the witch would bake up to lure curious children into her gingerbread cottage.  (video at the end)

I LOVE the Hanzel and Gretel version with Cloris Leachman. 

Especially the cake luring in scene.

I should say that, that cake was the lovely end to a string of guests this week.

It actually began with pies...

Actually, it began with one blueberry pie for Mister Lovee.  He brought home oodles of blueberries in hopes that I would bake him up something good...

So, I made him his very own lattice top blueberry pie.

I used this recipe for the filling, and it was beyond excellent.  If you feel like you have too much dry ingredient, don't worry, you don't.  Just pop it all in your pie shell.  It will all come together beautifully.

I used my go to crust recipe, which I created after trying lots of recipes that failed.  I now use this recipe below for all of my pie baking.  It is lovely supple glorious dough.  It makes enough dough for two single crust pies or one double crust pie.

Sorry about the bad looking handwriting, but my right hand and wrist are still a bit swollen and very sore from my gardening shenanigans.

(give it 60 seconds to open)

Also, a tip for making lattice tops can be found here...

It was sooooooo goood!

My new fave dessert I think.

Not too sweet (which makes it a fave), with burst in your mouth berries.

I also took out over a dozen monster aloes this week, from a completely over grown area.  I then relocated them to another part of the garden.

Honestly, this was the most difficult job I have ever done in my life.

You can see the root ball system in the photo below in the back left.

Torture.

There were 3 of those root balls.

Mister Lovee jokingly thinks I am hiring men to do the work behind his back.

I am not.

I am trying to get all the hard work done before the heat of summer comes along, when it simply won't be possible.  It will be too hot and the dirt will be too hard and dry.

While I work...

Gentle poppies keep coming to life....

Nothing like the unfurling of a paper thin poppy, me thinks.

So beautiful...

Before I took out the aloes (in between baking and guests), I decided that a very aggressive desert broom had to be pulled out of a crucial garden spot.  That is, if we wanted to give a home to a lucky 25 cent citrus tree.

We have ever so many desert brooms.

Most people hate them.  With their allergy gobs of fuzz and such.

I quite like them, and throw a fit when one needs to be cut down.

But, after dealing with this monster below, I sort of don't know how I feel.

It was a huge bush/tree thing.

It took me two days to get him out, and still the root was too deep, so Mister helped me cut it about 5 feet down.

Of course, the babes want to be on top of me while I am working.  If I ignore them, they take up wrestling for a while.  Yay for wrestling ;)

To this mix, I threw in some bread baking.

As I wanted to send my parents away with fresh bread...

I whipped up some Challah...

My tips on working with yeast.......

Make sure your eggs and all items are room temperature.

And, above all, turn your cold bowl upside down and run it under hot water to warm it up before you begin.

I almost always use this recipe for Challah.

Flawless scrumptiousness...

A really hearltfelt gift I think...

And then, save one loaf for a treat of blt's on piping hot bread.

While bread bakes, bees find flowers.

It is so good to see the bees.

Oh so good.

The warm air is bewitching with the strong scent of hyacinth flowers (it has been a warm lovely winter here in the 70's most days).

Of course, if you know me, then you know I can't resist doing extra amounts of things when I am already extremely busy.

I work best this way.

(I know what you might be thinking.  And, no, I don't take supplements or anything for energy.  And, I have been off of caffeine for one year in February.  In fact, I feel like I have have to push myself very hard sometimes, to get all the things done that I want to do.  I find that, once you get going energy somehow finds you.)

So, I made two more blueberry pies to gift.

Fresh blueberries were available in abundance this week, Mister Lovee says.  So he brought a lot home.  Perfect for more pies.

This time around, I covered the edges in foil so they would not burn.

I also made pecan pie to gift.

(using this filling recipe and my pie crust recipe above)

But, I forgot to take photos.

Would a pecan color dog work as a stand in for that photo?

Oh oh, one other thing.

I accidentally drizzled in about 1/4 teaspoon of orange extract into the pecan pie filling, which everyone raved about ( I was apprehensive about it before tasting).  It added a lightness of flavor that even non-pecan pie lovers liked. 

So, it was a happy accident it seems.

And then, the end to all things good.

The Hansel and Gretel Fairytale cake, for a guest, age 6.

I used this recipe for the white cake. 

I doubled the recipe so I could make a two layer cake. 

Then, I took a tip from one of the comments on the recipe page for doubling the recipe.  I used 2 tablespoons of vanilla and 1.5 cups of milk, and simply doubled everything else.

The greatest tip I can give is, only use a hand mixer to cream the butter and sugar.  Then, mix the rest by hand (with a wooden spoon or such).  If you get too much air into the batter (by using a mixer) your cake will sink in the middle.

If it does sink, just fill your cake with frosting and raspberry jam between the layers, and use lots of frosting for decorating the top ;)

I was out of butter for making frosting, so I just used powered sugar, a couple pinches of salt, sour cream , 4oz of cream cheese, and a small slurp of vanilla.  It was all I had, and it turned out great.  You need lots of powered sugar, and not so much sour cream.  You can eyeball it as needed.  If it is too runny, just add a bit more powdered sugar, and salt to taste.  A tiny bit of salt takes the edge off of the sweetness, and enhances overall flavor. (oh, and two drops of red food coloring, to make pink)

And so, a surprise night-time tea party ensued for my two guests...

My guests (a 6 year old and her Oma) loved the cake.

I told the 6 year old that the cake was hers, and she should bite into it.

She was very apprehensive about such an act.

Her Oma convinced her it was a once in a lifetime experience, and they both bit into it together at the count of 3.

It was a wonderful fun time!!

And, I sent the cake home with Miss Littles.

Cake and tea.

Pinkies raised, as reminded by the 6 year old, and clinkety clinking of tea cups...

Then we took a stroll through the night garden, and the 6 year old said...

"This is what is called enchanting..."

And, we all laughed ;)

So, I guess you can say....

My week looked like this cake.

Sprinkly, sweet, sparkly!

With cherries on top.

Ya sure, it isn't all fairy cake and frosting.

But, who can even tell?

;)

I am sure the oven is snoring right now.

Phewey! What a long update there.

BTW-

I have been watching a hoarders show, so, in the midst of everything, I am purging.

I am inspired.

I am cleaning out closets and cabinets in the evening, while watching the show on Netflix.

Although really, I don't think half of the hoarding business on the show has anything to do with hoarding, but more to do with emotions and feelings and deeper stuff.  So, I think I can try to understand how folks can get to that point.  Even though it is quite unreal.  It is deeper than just pitching stuff.  So much deeper it seems?

 I feel like I am going insane when my house is a mess and my kitchen is out of order.  So, I can see how if your house got crazy out of control, you could just slip into an abyss of sorts.  Is that it?

Still, it inspires me to get things that are out of order, in order.

Like going through stacks of magazines, etc.

Why do we keep this stuff?

Mister Lovee won't let me get rid of some of it, so, I will have to sneak it ;)

Yikes!

Love, V

 

 

ps: 

 My fave part begins at the 5:00 mark, but the extra wonderful part with cakes and such begins at the 8:50 mark.

2012 Valentine Printables!!

Hello heloooo!!  I have been trying to get here since Sunday.  I have been up to so much, I can't even tell you, the projects, oh my!  Baking, planting, more baking, more planting + painting & drawing.  However, I will share those tid-bits another day, as I have a gift for you today.

Since you are extra super nice (not to mention witty, and fun and super duper lovely!) I decided to make you a new set of free printable Valentine's!

I absolutley adore adore adore Valentine's day!

I look at it as a me day, and like to do fun lovely things for myself.

It is also the perfect pick me up holiday after the Christmas went by too fast blues.

I love the ruffled over the topness of Valentine's day.

It's like, all the ruffles and hearts you can muster are not ever too much.

Just my kind of holiday!

The fun cakes and treats and sweet overload aura of the day don't hurt either.

Even if I don't adooooore sweets, they are just as fun to bake and make and look at.

There are 4 new styles on one sheet, which looks like this when printed...

CLICK HERE for the PRINTABLE PDF

Simply click the link above, give it several seconds to open, and then print!

I printed mine on cardstock...

Cut out each image, and voila...

Free Valentine's for you!

Cakes and love, and of course, an owl for good measure.

Always perfect messengers for all sorts of things, me thinks ;)

I so hope you like them.

I spent a whole day working on them and getting them here to you.

Why?

Because I like you.

Cheesy, but true.

Well......

I suppose I have to go keep digging.

You can't imagine how my project has turned into a monster.

I need a tractor.

I think?

OKay, tea-time...

See you soon ;)

Love, V

By the by, I whistled this the whole time I made you these Valentine's.

Click.

Silly.  I know.

But, true too.

 

 

ps:  You must peek at my sister's wreath tutorial.

I so want one now!

 

pss:  When I started blogging, one of my first friends was Lisa-Gabrielle over at Jungle Dream Pagoda.  She had a little girl and a toddler.  Of course, 5 years later, she has a gorgeous talented teen and a very grown up sassy fabulous little girl.

Well, the littlest girl now has her own YouTube show.  And let me tell you, she is sooo charming!!

Here's the video...

Who Who???

You will never ever ever guess what happened this week...

Busiest week ever.

I don't even know where the days went.

So......

You know how I am all flower, tree and plant obsessed?

And talk to my plants, and practically live for seeds?

Well, the plant lovers dream came true!

This is what happened.........

My neighbor wanted to get a steam cleaner, and I had to run a few errands, so we jumped into my car, went here and there.  Then, we stopped at one of those big box stores for her steam cleaner.

Of course, I "had" to go to the plant section.

My neighbor comes with me, and I nudge her in dismay, showing her that the manager is throwing all the plants away into a giant dumpster.

"If it doesn't look fresh, it is getting thrown away," she tells her employees.

(they looked a-okay to me, a bit over-grown or in need of some love, but okay)

My neighbor says "no no no no, why are you throwing them away???!!"

The manager looks at us and says, "well, you can have them if you want."

Have them, we ask?

Well, not "have" them she says.

Then she says, you can buy them for 25cents each.

25 CENTS each!

So, we load up 7 carts of trees and shrubs and desert plants.

We would have kept going, but the manager told us to walk away.

That was hard, knowing more would get tossed.

So, I take each item out of the cart so she can ring us up.

Then I load the car, in two trips.

Then, we unload at my house.

Then I organize it all by plant type.

Then my neighbor and I split our plants.

Half and half.

Then we load half back up into the car, and take them to her house.

Then we start planting, and planting and planting and...

Well, still planting.

These are mine below...

My suv was so full, you couldn't get another toothpick in...

We never worked so hard.

Loading, loading loading, bringing home.

But, we saved soooo many plants and trees from the trash can!

And it was soooooooooo worth it.

It was like, plant Christmas!!!

My dad says it (the tossing out of plants and things) happens at all big box stores, all the time. (which I knew, but sort of had blocked out)

Isn't that sad?

I still have my work cut out for me, however, I am working on some new paintings.  So, I will have to learn real quick how to manage my time.

So, that is the plant tale.

I know some people who dumpster dive as a way of life, and find all sorts of perfect food and plants and things.  It is crazy, what gets thrown away.

On another note...

We (me and lovee) needed to take a trip to the groceries this week.  But, I sort of wanted to play that game, where you try to make a meal out of whatever you have in the house.

We always have staples like butter, flour, olive oil, oats, fruit, veggies etc.

So, I sauteed some onions, garlic and peppers.

Then I defrosted some pesto.

Then, I went searching on my own blog for this recipe for pizza dough.

And, boy was it better than I remembered.

Lovely dough to work with.

I get two pizzas out of one dough mixture, and I just knead everything by hand.

I made one veggie cheese, and one with just pesto and sweet onions.

I so recommend trying this dough this weekend.

Just make sure you run your bowl under warm water, before you begin working with your yeast.  Just a tip.

I roll my dough out thin, as it puffs up nicely, and I like a thinner crust.

It was sooo goood.

And I am not even a pizza lover.

Oh oh, the Fairies also are on a journey out of the country, to their new home, so they are now available in print form, in my shopling.

So, that's the 411 around here.

That was such a wordy post, wasn't it?

I still can't get over the whole plant thing.

Anything weird wild wacky or plain crazy happen to you this week?

Off I go for now....

Love, V

It's the Little Things...

It has been gloriously moist and cloudy here for two days.  Such a treat to get a little rain.  Yesterday was delicious.  Moist cool air, drizzle and dark skies.  Since it is always sunny here, a little dark drizzle makes me feel like baking and mystery novels, and doing tedious little chores.

I love scary movies during daylight hours (especially on rainy days).  They seem less threatening to my over abundant imagination, with thoughts of things that go bump in the night.

I have been doing chores that are making me so happy.  Like, reorganizing my sock drawers to other more accessible spots, with more space.  Cleaning out and organizing earrings and make-up.  Trying on ridiculous lipsticks.  Going through a lifetime supply of hair ties and scarves. 

Drawers for everything, places for everything. 

Knowing where everything is.

While, some girl out runs trolls on the television.

Then I have lunch with Isaac and Malachi, and Norman Bates turns up for tea.

We invite Linda Blair, but, that gets a little too much, you know what I mean?

I'll have Tubular Bells in my head for a week.

All the while, it rains outside.

An oatmeal cake bakes.

The pups cozy up.

As I continue to happily organize this and that.

Some days are made for little things.

I love days when the most important chore I feel I must do is dust pretty rocks.

I so needed a day off.

It feels ridiculously decadent, to take time out to dust rocks.

To wash them, and admire their color under water.

Mister Lovee and I oooo and aaaah at the moist specimens.

Random change of subject...

Did I tell you I have a new neighbor?

She's been here since early autumn.

We have had so much fun, and we both love to go rock hunting.

Plus, I am the "other mother" to Harley.

Her son, and my new boyfriend.

He is massive huge in person.

I mean HUGE.

I have some lovely purple bruises from playing with him :)

He will nip your bottom and your love handles if you ignore him.

He demands love 24/7.

Matty and him had a scuffle.

Matty lost, but isn't afraid, still.

But Miles, Miles loves Harley.

They have play dates.

It is so great, to have two girl ladies on my street that I enjoy.

Well, I am feeling a little under the weather today, so I won't chat your eyeballs off.

But I do want to share some garden snippets before I go, that are making me butterflies in belly happy.

Like, Icelandic Poppies...

And, watching them spring open...

Winter flowers are the grandest treat.

Just when you think you can't stand the anticipation for spring...

Winter poppies unfurl...

With ranunculus and tulips popping through the earth...

I know my flower talk is probably disgustingly boring.  I just can't help being obsessed.

Probably more than last year.

It's keeping me sane.

Do you think you can bear more garden posts here and there?

(yarrow)

So, I have bought some bulbs and plants online in the last year and a half, and since then, my snail mailbox is FULL of garden catalogs.

Flowers and more.

Dangerous those catalogs are.

I get all crazed, promising not to plant any more, whilst folding pages of things I must order.

I swear my heartbeat turns up real high, and I can't think rationally when I look through them.

Am I alone in this, or does the same thing happen to you?

Okay, enough babble for today, I want to dust a little more, and then go to Le Poste, since it was closed yesterday....

I love dusting.

I don't mind having trinkets and treasures that I have to dust.  It is one of my favorite chores, and I look upon it fondly.  It gives me time to admire all the little things I collect.

What is your fave chore?

Mine are dusting and washing and bleaching sinks.

Off I go, see you soon with a sweet gift ;)

 

 

 

ps:  Speaking of scary movies...

Have you seen, Don't be Afraid of the Dark?

Ooooo, scary little troll fairy things!!!

Complete with a haunting mansion and enchanted garden!

I just love Guillermo Del Toro.

I ♥ Elves + Willa Finds a New Home

Hello there!!  I have had a crazy week, busy as a bee, back and forth to the city house.  Movers helping me bring some big things I wanted in the country, etc etc.  Plus a couple trips on my own.  All the while, Willa has been going bonkers.  Every single one of your homes is the one she wants to live in.  The choice, well, as you can imagine, impossible.

So, she called on Mister Lovee to help her after reading each of your notes over and over and over.  She and he made an executive decision together...

Every home she could snuggle into seemed perfect, all with their own enchantments, all with grand love.  She was so torn!  Cottages by the sea, fellow tilters, snuggling up with furry ones, broken hearts, an 8 year old with a perfect little bed by her own bed, or even a wonderful suggestion that she be a surprise for Alicia Paulson.  Each and every one of you had sublime ideas and places, and homes for Willa to voyage to.

She is so touched, I can't even tell you.

Alas, she could not choose, so her and Mister Lovee wrote down all your names, and popped them into a not yet worn Christmas gift shoe....

Gave them a couple tosses, and drew a name...

The name???

Jenn and Mr. Gordo!!!

(hooray hoooray!)

Willa has found her home by picking a name out of a shoe, since all your homes seemed just perfect!

But...

And here is a big but.

She really loved all your home descriptions and heartfelt notes.

So, she decided to consult with the Elfin King, and see if she could get clearance to gift you all with something extra special.

A badge of elfin honor if you will.

And so, we have a gift for you!

Your very own, honorary member badge, for the Elfin Secret Society!!

 

 Click Here for your Printable PDF Elfin Badge

 

(There are 4 to a page.  Please give the link 60+ seconds to open)

The elfin kingdom agreed that, if you can open your hearts as such, to a wee elfin creature, then you deserve to hold the magic and protection that elfin power will bestow upon you forever more.  After-all, in order to love an elf, a little section of your own heart must be elfin itself.

Just cut out your badge and wear it proudly. 

Or tuck it under your pillow, or inside your jacket. 

Wherever you like, really.

Thanks ever so much, for being so much fun ♥

But mostly, for believing!

I wish I had an elf for each and every one of you!

 

Much love, V

 

 

Elfin Dance...

An Elfin in Search of a Home...

Hiya!  Boy do I have something exciting to share with you.  I have someone very special I want to introduce you to.  This is Willa Piecrustbottoms Elfonzo.  She is a wee elfin, who happens to be looking for a home.  You see, she tips ever so gently to her left, which made her afraid that you would think that she had been sampling the shroomnog a bit too much, and therefore wouldn't want her to come live with you...

Of course, I told her that was plain hogwash, and not to be so silly.

Tipping to the side a little is no big deal at all, don't you agree?

She has lots of magic to share.

And when I say magic, I mean honest to goodness real as rain, elfin magic.

Plus, she has so many stories to share...

Especially fairy tales gathered in the forest from beautiful winged creatures...

She has also learned endless tales of lore from Auntie Winnifred Bidelia...

Who she adores cozying up to for tea and sweets and secret enchanted pumpkin tales.

She gets along with all sorts of creatures, never one to cause too much mischief.  But more, a comforting elfin soul, looking to add sparkle to your life ;)

Do you think your home is elfin friendly?

Could you give Willa a loving home, filled with wonderments a plenty?

You know, she loves midnight carnivals and such, so, you might have your work cut out for ya.

Really, all she wants is a nice, friendly, happy place to call home.

Perhaps that's with you?

She was wondering if you might let her know the reasons she should come live with you?  What fun things you would do, or where you might let her cozy up in your abode?

She'll choose a place to live based on any comments received, and will make her decision by the next post.

She says it might be a difficult decision, but she is eager to begin an exciting journey.

She is ever so hopeful that one of you might want to let her into your lil' world, and can't wait to pack her tiny bag and start a new adventure!

All you have to do is leave a comment with your elfin thoughts, and how Willa will fit into your world, and she'll choose a home in a couple of days ;)

 

Love, Vanessa and Willa

 

 

A Fanciful Twist dot com {Technical Glitch}

This is me sitting on my bed. 

Sulking. 

With a note saying that, if you are visiting me and have found that the following link is taking you to a Network Solutions page: afancifultwist.com

Where it says that my services expired in December of 2012.

(I know, in the future, spooky!)

Instead of to my blog (here) -

It is because there is a technical glitch that is being fixed as I type.

(which some folks have noticed)

Network Solutions was trying to tell me that part of my huge payment in September, had not been made (which I made over the phone with a sales rep, bad idea).  And, that (months later) many of my services were now showing up as expired, and it would cost me hundreds more to reinstate my services and fix the situation.

Me = so confused

Luckily, after two hours on the phone this morning, and a copy of my credit card statement with proof of my payment -

They agree that I did in fact pay.  For sure.

And, that I shouldn't have to come up with more doubloons to reinstate anything.

But, it will take 3 days to fix.

And then, that link will come to my blog again.

Argh.

Trivial.

Totally trivial.

But, still annoying.

Don't you just loathe getting on the phone to deal with such things?

It makes me anxious and crazy.

Turns me into a mean little girl who wants to cry on the playground and kick dirt.

But, I am ever so glad when it gets resolved, yay!

So, let's hope it does all get resolved soon.

For now, you will find me...

In the garden digging three foot holes and putting in 12 ft. posts, in an attempt to build something extra fun.

I pretty much did most of the work yesterday, but it is so glorious and sunny that I have an insatiable urge to keep digging!

 

♥ ,V

 

ps:  Mini Vanessa was made by lovely Patricia, right here...

Wishes...

I have a tale of wishes to share. 

Wishes of yours, and yours, and yours and even some of mine.  Wishes that now reside suspended in time, in one of my most secret fairy places, just waiting to come true.  After-all, it's up to you, to set them free from your deepest heart.  I just like to help give them a little push, with some assistance of course, from my trusty friends...

Before I take you with me, I must tell you how this all began.  You see, I took a couple of days off to do the wash and tidy and recharge from this hectic holiday season.

When the time was just right, your wishes tugged on me ever so tight...

They swirled in the air, and landed in the palm of my hand.

I promise, they did.

Then slowly began lifting off, making their way to come true...

I promptly ran outside, into the warm sunshine, and one by one they began drifting away.

As you are aware, wishes can sometimes be extra finicky.  Some wishes are not ready to go out into the world, whilst other speed off, gone before you can even blink.

Others need a little push...

Set off into warm winter light...

The luckiest thing is that I caught site of where some would land before venturing off...

And, if you look ever so closely...

You might spot your wish, living on a leaf, waiting for the most perfect of curious winds to carry it off for you...

There were a handful of wishes that wanted to stay a little while longer, before heading off to adventures untold...

And so, I thought of the perfect place for them to reside, while they work up the courage to come to life.

It is a very secret space, so dear to my heart, where frogs really fly and occasionally...

 Well, you fill in the rhyme, tee hee!

It gives them speed ;)

(I know I know, I just couldn't resist)

This super secret place is one you will often find me in, chanting that famous chant to the fairies...

"Come out from your Fairy Bower

Come upon this golden hour

Come to us, we beg you please

Fairies dancing on the breeze..."

You see, this is a spot in our garden, along a corridor of trees and shrubs.  With a path guiding the way to your wildest dreams.

There are two trees that have grown together to form an arch of leaves just my height.  And, it is under those trees, where I feel the most magical tingle...

When it rains on hot summer days, the first place I run to is here.  Where I am sure to spot a fairy or two hiding from the droplets.

So, I thought, this is the perfect place to let wishes live, amongst gnomes and fairies.  A perfect place indeed.  And, when they are ready, they will fly free...

Gnomes are incredible helpers in coaxing wishes to be on their way.  Especially if you gift them with...

Rose petals.

They simply love them...

So, I line the hidden path in our fairy bower with berries and petals, and watch the sun begin to set...

Glimmers of light through doilies do thoroughly delight!

I tell your wishes to take their time, they can stay as long as they'd like...

But, if they would like to skip off, the moon is out to guide their way...

Light a candle, and stay a while, won't you?

I adore gnome speak, especially their song by night.  Anyone of us can hear it, if we listen just right.

Guide your wishes through the fairy bower, down the path where wishes root and grow and flower.  Some wishes even wait til spring, as they like to ride in between the wings of bees you see...

My secret space, now yours as well...

As we are guided on our path at night, by fur, times two!

In you go, don't be afraid, fireflies and fairies have made moon glow lemonade.  It's a celebration, a welcoming of wishes who will stay here to live, for as long as they'd like, as I've said.

Don't worry, we will encourage wishes every day and night, reminding them that they belong to you.  That you will bake them cupcakes and sing them songs.  But most importantly, that you would like ever so much for them to come true.

And, just like that, wishes are set free.

Will they come true?

We have yet to see!

I sure do hope you share with me and Mister Smee!

Okay, I promise to cut out my attempt at rhyming now ;)

Love, Veeeeeeeeeeeeee

I am going to run and check on the wishes, and have tea in the fairy bower!! 

Care to join me?

 

 

I do believe in fairies, I do!!
