crumpets & dryads & along the way


we went to the faery fest in cornwall this weekend ♥
there we met some lovely wandering fae between the raindrops.

dear amy & swan princess natalee from tales from the dryad forest
floating through the field of sheep to search for the folly ♥

we danced wild into the night under the magic trees ♥ women twirled fiery hoolas with serene faces & boys played fiddles, flutes & drums

i learned that the universe inside you is not dark like the night sky
but swirls with a billion starburst rainbows of color and shine ♥

we found scadfulls of books and ancient messages. then yesterday i
started reading: charles g. leland "the gypsies" you can read it *here*

amethyst crystals and lepidolite eggs ♥ all praises to purple lepidolite my new lavender lithium bearing faery godmother. where'd you been?

we searched and searched for the folly but we never found it..
we did however find some dinosaur bones... maybe thats the
point of searching... to find things along the way ♥

all of these photos were taken by the loveliest butteriest crumpet
juliet of dear sweetlings here she is sticking her head in a hole and finding another dimension. thanks for sharing the trip crumpet!! ♥

Beautiful words to spirit one away.
I think perhaps we should have taken the path downward! we will never know what was hidden there {I keep seeing photographs of a tiny trickling waterfall}
Ooh, what was the name of the animal book you purchased? I've been trying to remember. Have you ever watched the BBC programme Springwatch? they had a pet raven on there *swoon* my heart swelled.

We sort of almost met at 3 Wishes (I was the one with the antlers talking to Juliet) - I'm shamefully bad at introductions! So anyway, hello :)
It's sad you didn't find find the folly (I think if you went straight on you would see it? The little picturesque waterfall was on the lower path, which also eventually went to the folly). Maybe next year!

Your lovely! I would love to go to a fairy festival like that.... I'm afraid there's nothing like that here in the USA... so sometimes I just have to come up with my own festival in my own backyard! ;) Nice meeting you!

Cornwall is so beautiful and perfect for a faery gathering. I used to spend many summer holidays in Cornwall with my family. We have a little tin miners cottage near the sea, not far from Zennor! ;-)
It is lovely to see your true faery self with green nails and delicate wings. It's also the right time of year to wear flowers in your hair..
I have now moved to an old farmhouse near Peter Rabbit's family, they live in our garden. I think Beatrix would approve! ;-)
Have a lovely summer Faerie Finder,
Jo. xx

Ah my dear, I've been gone so long! It's wonderful to be back and see all the lovely things you've done and written while I've been away. I have been thinking of England, and wishing I were there for the solstice, and your summer adventures there are inspiring.
