Fairy of Delight Living Deep and Safely Inside

Hello Friends of Bluebird Fairies,

I hope this finds you well and happy!

Last month, I was reading about delight and its power to lighten us even when we’re in dismal and darkening days.

I stepped into each day committed to experiencing and sharing delight. That happened easily in the morning, but after a long day, my ability to find delight seemed to be gone. Was it really? I didn’t think so. Here’s a fairy to support that:

Beneath the words, 'the fairy of delight living deep and safely inside me all of the time' stands a fairy with outstretched arms, a dress with a red heart in the middle and two speech bubbles on either side containing the words "Yes" "I'm here."

My friend Corey saw this fairy on Facebook and said it reminded her of a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay:

“I can't recall the title, but I often find myself thinking or saying aloud the final stanza:”

For wonder leaps upon me still,

And makes me dizzy, makes me ill,

But never frightened - for I know -

Not where - but in whose hands I go:

The lovely fingers of Delight

Have hold me and hold me tight.

Thank you Corey! For the entire Edna St. Vincent Millay poem click here.

May you continue to find delight in these upcoming busy days.

And, in honor of the gift giving during of this season, please know that we have Fairy Decks in an assortment of beautifully handmade bags available on our on-line store, studio and at Thirty-odd on Pine Street.

We’ll be back in touch as we get closer to the Solstice.

All the best!

p.s. I was not able to perform my Petcha Kucha about the fairies in October but I hope to revive the show and perform it in June. Stay tuned.
