Thankful for Dust Faeries

I love the magic of childhood...

Anything is possible to kids and I so admire that innocent faith. 

Last week while I was painting on the porch Bella began to tell me about Dust Faeries. She told me how they are so tiny most people think they are merely a speck of dust, but how sometimes you see a special little sparkle that lets you know they are really a tiny faerie. 

She told me all of this with such detail and confidence that I asked her where she learned about Dust Faeries. Did you read about them in a book or hear about them at school I probed?

"I think I must of just known about them since I was three cause I always knew they were there" came the response.

(I laughed with both amusement and admiration at her explanation.)

So, yesterday we went on a picnic at the park to look for Dust Faeries.

We drew a sign on the sidewalk so the faeries knew we were friends to all faerie kind.

We made a faerie home in a Mason jar with clover and Cherry Blossoms.

(Yet another use for those sweet southern jars, you can see some other ideas {Here})

 Bella said she caught "about two faeries"...I took their picture before we let them go.

I'm so Thankful for my Bella and these precious days of childhood.

Clapping my hands ASAP
