A Fairy Boy…

from a sweet friend in far away Portugal. Isn’t he just amazing?!

I never expected anything so gorgeous to just appear on my porch, out of the blue…like magic.

But there he was with his spindly little legs–carved out of a tree branch– I think…

and adorable smile. Ooooh, I could just eat him up! In fact, I’m going to hang him on the canopy of my bed so that I can see him all the time and just let him make me smile.

I positively LOVE him to bits!

And you too Teresa. Thank you so much for your kindness, and your generosity and most of all, for knowing just how much I love the fairy folk, and all the love and sparkle they bring to our world…

just.

like.

friends.

PS~ Happy Summer Solstice everyone. Did you know that today is the longest day of the year? To celebrate, I’m going outside to walk around in my bare feet and…you know…connect with Mother Nature. Then, I think I’ll come inside–where it’s cool–and eat an apple or something.

What Summer-y thing are you going to do today?

Strawberry Rocks

Isn’t this just the cutest little bowl of strawberries you’ve ever seen? Of course, these ones aren’t one bit edible, but that’s ok. In fact, that’s the point.

Remember all my posts last summer about the Robins eating every single strawberry in my garden? Well, you should. I whined about it here and here and here…

and here.

So my clever little niece read about this fun idea to make those naughty birdies mind their own birdie business. Apparently, you drop a few rocks around the berry patch–rocks that look an awful lot like the real things, especially to a bird. As the story goes, the birds peck at the rocks and get all confused and frustrated with the counterfeits—here’s the good part—

by the time the real berries ripen up, the birds don’t trust them…

so they fly away and eat some other lady’s strawberries.

She made a bus load of these pretty little fake berries so we can give it a try.

All I have to say about that is…

Yee haw!!

I can hardly wait to see how they work. We may just have some Strawberry Shortcake this year after all.

Just imagine.

Note: If you’d like to have some of Tracy’s Strawberry Rocks for your garden–she’s selling them for $8 a bag–each bag has 5 or 6 hand painted berries inside. All proceeds go toward her literacy service trip to Kenya. Paypal her at Bubblegumgirl@gmail.com

Movie Giveaway WINNERS!

Yes, yes…that’s what I said…WINNERS…with an “S.”

See, it’s like this—since there were only a handful of entries in the first place, and since I’m not very good at choosing winners and since I have a deep seeded desire to make everybody happy all at the same time, the best thing to do was to let everyone win. :} I know, I know. Therapy could probably help, but that’s not happening…and this is way cheaper. Heh..

So, Kathy Lawrence is the first winner of the movie Sea Biscuit and the coveted Thor dolly. Dude, Kathy–prepare to be surrounded by total awesomeness. No, really.

And to the rest of you–Sea Biscuits for everyone!! Try to be brave about the Thor plush…I only had one.  So now– Lynnette, Andrea, Martha, Tracy and Amy–if I don’t already have your address then you’ll need to send it to me at LauniKAnderson@gmail.com. Simple as that.

Congratulations to the whole planet…kind of.

:} with love,

Launi
