Went down the rabbit hole. Tick tock went the clock. Tumbled through a garden of glass and butterflies…
Lavendar earl grey and strawberries and chocolate in our cups. Aroma spinning in the air, whirling up on sunlight haze.
Vain little roses, sunning themselves near white curtains sighing and whispering of poems they’ve just written. As they watch [...]
As you may know, I am a big fan of ballet. Particularly the works of Petipa. The Nutcracker was the first ballet I ever saw and it has remained a cherished childhood memory for me. Every time I see it, I am swept away by the music and magic of this beloved tale. As a [...]
While over at my dear friends home this weekend, Miss Emily and I decided to watch a number of whimiscal films to aid in our weekend of craft making. The first night we watched Penelope. I remember when it came out in theaters, but for some reason I did not take much interest in it [...]
Fly me away
To a bright sunny day
With puppets and pixies
We’ll dance and we’ll play
With tea for two
Under a sky of blue
Sugar cubes and scones
One for me, one for you
Balloon filled sky
Reaching the clouds so high
Through rainbows and ribbons
Let us dream, let us fly
The Summer haze clouds my mind. I wander though the day in a half lidded trance.
The drowsy rose wilts in a garden of seashells and berries and dreams of snow.
Zephyr puffs his cheeks, sending out a breezy gift.
A moments reprieve from Apollo’s love.
Though still I stagger and stumble, awaiting nights sweet reverie.
Oh how I long [...]
Draped in layers of pink chiffon, I twirl feeling the dewey moss under my toes.
Sunlight streams through the emerald canopy illuminating my wild garden.
Roses, lilies and jasmine.
I entwine them in my hair, surrounded by their sweet perfume.
I recieved my first BPAL order. Eight little vials in all. Six of which I ordered, the two others [...]
We whirl and twirl, in a foxtrot of giggles.
Our feet tangle and glide, tangle and glide.
Backward and fowards, and back again.
Pomenade, double step, faster then slower.
My hand in yours, guiding me across the floor.
Blue eyes meet blue eyes.
Pink lips meet pink lips.
Dance lessons with the Prince and I are going quite well.
We still need much [...]
If you enjoy fairy tales as much as I do, then you might enjoy Jessica Day George’s “Princess of the Midnight Ball”. It is a clever retelling of the fairy tale, The Twelve Dancing Princesses. The story centers around a young solider turned gardener named Galen and his quest to figure out why Princess Rose [...]
Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough briar,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire,
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moon’s sphere;
And I serve the fairy queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green.
The cowslips tall her pensioners be;
In their gold coats, spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours,
In their freckles live our savours.
I must go seek some [...]
You have journied here from beyond the shadows, emerging into a wonderland of dreams and nightmares. A land of many curiosities, ruled over by the cruel Queen of Hearts. Will you fall victim to her sadistic justice or will you rise above and pave your own way? Welcome to Wonderland… we’re all mad here.
Nevaria is [...]
