Look what I got! A story in pictures.

See?
A parcel!

 
And inside the parcel


a pretty box


decorated with tulle and ribbons
and roses and a little card.

Under the tulle.
is a lid.


Under the lid.
crisp white paper.


Under the paper


tissue and fluffy stuff
and a tiny pillow with roses
and a book.


See?

Under the pillow
a dear little bed
all hand painted 
with a garland of roses.


and hiding under the bed


 a sweet little fairy
all sleepy and small


tiny and snoozy
with a bonnet to keep warm.

Gently turn the fairy over
and there's darling little baby wings
tender as rose petals and 
pretty with glitter.


There's a fairy  baby 
and a bed
so the book must be full of 
fairy bed-time stories




to be read at bed time.




Good night!



Thank you, thank you,
 to Penny

The little bed and cushion
 and teeny little book 
and weeny little fairy 
are all so precious.
I was thrilled to win this giveaway 
and extra thrilled to have a piece of
Penny's wonderfully crafted art.

 Have a wonderful day

(Oh, and
 Happy Bastille Day!
Vive la France!)

    1. Have a wonderful time away from the keys, Anita, and I really appreciate your taking the time to pop in today.

      The wee fae (I'll have to give it a name, I think)is just gorgeous and the rose-bud bed is perfect. You're a lucky girl to have some of Penny's amazing creations, and I know I'm lucky to have this one all for myself.

    1. isn't it cute? I wish I knew how the rose petal wings were done. They're pretty with the glitter and they're also soft and flexible, not brittle at all.

  7. Good morning Rhissanna,
    Here is how the petal wings were made.
    Lay your dryed petals on plastic wrap... (so they won't stick to your work surface.

    Paint on Liquitex Gloss Heavey gel. Comes in a jar..
    If you want to add glitter, dust while gel is still wet.
    The gel goes on a milky white, but dries clear...

    Flip them over and do the other side.. I use the side of a tooth pick to hold them down when I paint them..
    When they are dry you can use the medium to adhear them to what ever you are working on.

    Wishing you a wonderful week ahead...
    fondly,
    Penny

    1. Thank you, Bethann. That's a very sweet thing to say.

      I opened the mail box and saw the tulle and just started snapping pictures! It was all so beautifully wrapped by Penny that I thought it deserved to be recorded and shared. She'd made it into such a fun and special event and I knew how blessed I was to get it.
