Fairy wing

Today, my dad was weeding in the yard. I went out to say Hi, then we started to talk about Harry Potter.  I helped weeding. Suddenly my dad said, Check this out! He said, I think it's a fairy wing! I looked at it and it was a fairy wing. We thought the fairy had shed her wing when she was growing a new one. My dad found it under some flowers so we thought it was from a Flower Fairy. We went inside and put it in a little clear plastic bag. When we took the picture of it, we could see sparkles on the wing. I believe it's pixie dust. We're worried it might disintegrate. What do you think? And do you think it will disintegrate or not?

The Helpful Elves

A Welsh legend tells of an unlucky farmer who seemed to have nothing but misfortune. His crops became diseased and his cattle were ailing. As well as this, his wife was an invalid who could do nothing to help about the house or farm. Thew farmer was about to sell up when he was visitied by an Ellyl (a Welsh elf) who told him to be troubled no longer. All he needed to do was insure his wife left out a lighted candle and swept the fire clean every night - the Ellyllon would do the rest.

That night, the couple went to bed early. They could hear sounds of laughter and merriment coming from the ground floor. In the morning, the house was neat as a new pin and the livestock healthy and well. Every night the samer thing happened. The crops prospered and the invalid wife grew fit and strong. The couple's good fortune continued for three years until the wife grew eager for a glimpse of the little folk. She tiptoed downstairs and peeked through the door. When she saw the merry band of little elves about their work, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. At once, the candle was blown out and everything became silent. The elves never came back to the farm but, fortunately, the couples ill fortune never returned either. - from Fairyopolis (Cicely M. Barker)

Tooth Fairy

Today I lost my tooth. It was the first time I lost my tooth in the morning. I held on to it all day. That night, I put it under my pillow. In the middle of the night, I switched beds but I left my tooth where it was. In the morning, I found my tooth under the pillow in the first room. I had put it in a special tooth fairy bag that my dad gave me, but the bag was missing. My mom told me to look under the pillow in the second room, and there was the bag with a $1 bill in it. Then, my mom said that my dog had gone into the first room in the middle of the night, barking. Our dag had scared the tooth fairy away.

The next night, I put my tooth under the pillow inside the tooth fairy bag, and with the $1 bill. The next morning, the tooth was gone. Has this ever happened to you, or has the tooth fairy always found your tooth on the first try?

Tips About Fairies

Fairies favorite trees are apple, beech, elder, holly, ash, blackthorn, hawthorn, lilac, nut trees, Rowan, oak, and willow. Do not step inside a fairy ring of mushrooms. It may make you stay there your whole life. Fairies like sweet stuff. Fairies may show up in family pictures. Fairies wings look a lot like a butterfly's. Flower fairies usually live in flower gardens.

Gifts to the Fairies

Last summer, I got a little cup and put some water and soap in it and made it a little bath for the fairy babies. I read that they like it when people put out baths for their babies, so I tried it. A few days later, I went to check the cup. There was a feather and a note in it. The writing was so tiny, I could barely read it.  It was a thank you note!

One of My Fairy Houses

Today, we got a new dishwasher and I got the box. I decided to make a fairy house out of it. I made a little shelf on it and then put out two sculptures of fairies, a little train with a good luck teddie on it, and also a bracelet. I used a mat to make a fairy table, put it on the floor for them to use, and I decorated it. I put little foamy chairs around it, and another mat under those. Then I put streamers all around and am going to make the couch tomorrow. 

Do you think any fairies will use it tonight? Should I leave out something for them to eat? I hear they like sweet things. Do you have any other ideas?

The Toothpaste Mystery

Once I was going to brush my teeth with my dad. We couldn't find the toothpaste anywhere in the bathroom, so we looked in all our other bathrooms. Then we went to tell my mom what happened. When we came back to check our bathroom again, my toothpaste was in the front of the bathroom counter. It was amazing. I thought the fairies did it
