Re: plant memories

My favorites when I was a kid! I now have a three and a half year old who they have been passed down to. Lily (my daughter) also has a flower fairy costume, complete flower tutu, flower headband and wand. Her grandmother bought it for her from "Magic Cabin" catalog, I'm sure they have a website, those of you with daughters and granddaughters may like to know....

Of course if I made one myself how much better. Imagination needs time to flower, and time is something we all could use more of these days!

Have you seen the Flower Fairy books by Cicely Mary Barker? She must have done the same kind of thing as a child, and carried on with that kind of imagination as an adult. Perhaps that's part of what we're missing and what makes these memories so powerful.
Great clothes designs - if only somebody would try to make some of them for real! The books I've got don't have fuchsia, but I know I've seen a fuchsia fairy she did somewhere.

Just remembered making tiny little dolls out of the flowers of Fuchsia
magellenica. You remove the pistil and leave just two stamens for legs and
feet, then find a thin little twig and stick it through the "body" to make
stiffly protruding arms. There she is--wearing her beautiful red and purple
dress!
