Solstice Fae

for you and me

and 

all the creatures large and small

on the longest night

the shortest day

she appeared from the winter forest

with a garland of candles as her crown

to light the way

for you and me

and 

all the creatures large and small

more and more light

each day

~

welcoming the light

beautiful Solstice to you!

Baby Booties

lovely and talented friend Janice

From: Dancing with Sunflowers

made my grandson Jayce these magically fun booties!!!

I was entirely surprised when they arrived in the mail. 

Had to wait to show you until they were given to Jayce, it's a surprise you know ;-)

complete surprise and joy 

over Jayce's first Christmas present!

and 

she made me a beautiful snowflake

it dances above my desk:

 

Janice is kindhearted, talented, thoughtful and a beautiful woman. 

Thank you so very much Janice!

Winter Fairy and DC Challenge

The winter fairy showed up in my painting

and rightly so!

winter has arrived in our neck of the woods

it is here for the season!

I am jointing Tiny Woolf

and other artists for the drawing theme: Garland

  

I looked around my wee cabin,

found every window cloaked as a garland

totem art

trinkets of beauty

~

do you see the snowy realm outside of the windows

like marshmallow cream, everywhere!

thank you for being our wonderful host 

Nadine of Tiny Woolf!
