Wishing all a Very Merry Christmas~

I heard the bells on Christmas Day

their old familiar carols play

and wild and sweet

the words repeat

of

Peace on Earth

Good-Will to men!

~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow~

dear little doll making fairie

our littlest grand daughter, Elisabeth, helping me with my dollies~

~~~

at long last, the doll making fairies have blessed me with one of their

~Very Finest~

doll making apprentices to help me in the doll house!

~~

I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it is to have such

a cheerful little helper...

with such gifted little hands to assist me, especially at this time of year.

~~~

...she carefully chooses the right brush and the perfect colors

and with deft and delicate strokes,

she creates Magic!

~~

She is indeed a tiny blue-eyed fairie with golden curls..

and I am quite sure that beneath her blue Hood River Eagles hoodie

is a very small pair of opal gossamer fairie wings!

It is a well known fact that the littlest apprentice doll making fairies

are often apt to climbing down from their stool at the doll making table

at a moment's notice...

and running out into the sunny day to investigate ice covered puddles

go for a nice long walk and visit the kitty....

a fairie after my own heart.
