I'm excited - I'll be travelling to The World of Faeries Festival tomorrow in South Elgin, IL. I don't know what to expect, but I hope it is lovely. I saw it as an event in the latest Faerie Magazine. <3

I've just received the Tinkerbell movie from Netflix. I'm a little ashamed to admit it, but I'm really excited to watch that movie. I watched a bit on YouTube and found it to be kind of cute. :]

Though it is a bit cool outside, (I have my periwinkle blue house-socks on!) it is starting to feel like summer. I have finally heard the first Cicada! He's quiet at the moment, but was singing just a moment ago. I've been sitting outside for quiet a while with my schoolwork. The tiny sparrows have finally warmed up to me and are flitting around, albeit nervously. We have a little chipmunk who lives around here who has also been scurrying around me. He spends his day going back and forth between where he lives (I think in our garage, or perhaps in our flowers) and the cage we have on our deck where our pigeon lives. (Our pigeon has a broken wing and was found in our yard. Instead of leaving him out for the neighborhood cats to get him, we adopted him. We've had him for three years, give or take.) The chipmunk fills his little cheeks up with as much birdseed as he can and brings it back to his home over and over.

You can make your own faerie here.

I watched a lovely movie called The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns (1999) with the Fiance tonight. We were both a little hesitant at first, but we really grew into the movie as it progressed. You could tell that it was a made-for-TV movie, but it was still very good and provided a great magical/faerie fix for the both of us. <3

I loved the movie version of Neil Gaiman's Stardust so much that I've started the book.

So far- I LOVE it. I've never read anything by Neil Gaiman (I know, what?), but I love his style of writing. Very upbeat and funny.

Anyways - I completely recommend Stardust, movie and book version to all of you. <3

Happy reading.
