The Snowdrop Fairy

The Snowdrop Fairy

Deep sleeps the Winter,

Cold, wet, and grey;

Surely all the world is dead;

Spring is far away.

Wait! the world shall waken;

It is not dead, for lo,

The Fair Maids of February

Stand in the snow! 

~Cicely Mary Barker

Valentine Faeries

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I've been busy in the craft room making these lovely little Valentine Faeries with wool felt hearts and sparkling wings.

My Own Sweet Valentine

Like the sweetly budding rose,

Freshened by the gentle rain

Like the Evening Star that glows,

Brightest of the starry train

Like a well arranged Bouquet,

Where the fairest flowers combine,

Odours rich and colours gay,

Is my own Sweet Valentine

~Traditional, Victorian-era
