Fairy Garden

"Soft moss a downy pillow makes, and green leaves spread a tent,

Where Faerie folk may rest and sleep until their night is spent.

The bluebird sings a lullaby, the firefly gives a light,

The twinkling stars are candles bright, Sleep, Faeries all, Good Night."

~ Elizabeth T. Dillingham, A Faery Song

[Whimsical fairy gardens are quite popular in craft stores and on Pinterest these days. 

Yet it's much more fun to discover a perfect, natural abode for a tiny sprite 

and to imagine that she's lurking somewhere just out of sight!]
