Sunday Was So Fair

I Went To the Fair.....

And While I was there, Dear Readers, I spotted a Pair of Baroque Lantern Posts, and as if they were beckoning me down a path into the woods, I allowed myself to be swept up in their Spell...

And before I knew it, they were coming home with me!

And then everywhere I looked it seemed as though the World had been enchanted...

Right at my feet I saw a tiny cage... 

For Keeping Mischeivious Sprites....?

Or capturing Marauding Snails...?

Or Both?

I Could not be sure!

And then I spotted a Tiny Garden.....

A Tiny Bonsai Tree in a Teensy Tiny Dish....

And Right before My eyes

 The Tiniest Fairy I ever saw flew up and perched in the Tiny Tree....

And I though I would need a Microscope to see him clearly....

 

But he didn't stay still for even an instant.....

 And next thing I knew he was perched atop the Lantern Posts....

Can you spot him...?

No...???

Maybe now...?

Because I had never seen such a Sight

I had to Rush off and Record this in my Garden Journal.....

And as I was writing,

all these encounters with Tiny People made me think

of Gulliver's Travels and Lilliput....

And before I knew it I was seeing Little People Everywhere!

Or rather.... Little Women......

And I know you can't tell Just how Little they are....

So I must show them with last year's Tiniest doll....

"Little Rose" in her crocheted dress....

It is as if she has found her little sister!

You might have thought I would find Some Sense OR Sensibility by about now.....

But Alas, I had Lost all sense of Proportion.....

Reduced to seeing Tiny Paper dolls.....

Dreaming of other worlds.....

Lost in other Tales.....

 And Portraits painted* by Fairy Folk...

Which might or might not be the very Images of

Jane and Rochester....

Imprisioned Forever in their Tiny Spheres...

  By now I surely needed a lamp to show me the way....

And not just Any lamp..... 

but one with a Daydreaming girl with her dog....

Under a Fairy Flower....

Lost, Yes, I was Utterly Lost!

But Lanterns kept leading me on.....

I was trying to see the Bigger view.....

But that just made me see how Lost I was....

and as if for Consolation....

 

A Console with a Pier Glass 

as if from Nowhere appeared!

If you are at all like me, 

by now you will be feeling the need for a simple chair...

Or Two...!

To sit for just a minute... 

and catch your bearings.

And maybe even a Drink would do....

Served up on a plate with the face of a cat.....

Whose smile (unlike the Cheshire Cat's) you cannot see...

And perhaps a volume of Robert Burns to help you pass the hour....

While contemplating these Lovely urns....

Surely a pair beyond Compare!

And Wondering How.....

How Did you get Here from There?

Lost in the Woods somewhere between Lilliput and Fairyland....

Yes, The day was so Very Fair....

And off I went to visit the Sturbridge Fair....

But just between you and me, Dear Readers,

I think it was Fairyland I got to see....

Oh, I just Had to bring it home with me!
