Dainty and Adorable

[windinthemaples]

It has been a happy (and splurgey) mail week. Yesterday, my box from Amazon came with the three print books of mermaiden's that I didn't have. I'm especially excited as I hadn't read Cage the Darlings or One Solstice Night from her Elora Bishop pen name in e-reader format, either. I read the first couple paragraphs of One Solstice Night aloud to Daniel straight out of the box--it was so charming and entertaining. I'm really looking forward to catching up on them.

I also got my box from The Fable Tribe's latest update. I'd sorta gone with the 'one of everything' mentality since there were so many new product types being debuted. I bought one of their floral crowns, which is all ivory and coral and bronzey brown and ideal for my auburn hair. I got a set of gold glitter Pixie Stars, a mini shrine, and two of the Glamourkin'd Faerie Foundlings figures. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the packages and saw how small and dainty everything was. Etsy descriptions with measurements don't mean much to me and from the pictures, I expected the Pixie Stars to be almost Glamourkin-sized and the Foundlings, I really had no idea. The little fawn I got is tiny. A-freakin-dorably so. He and the simplicity bunny fit so beautifully on my home and family themed window altar. I had no idea how many more I actually have room for! :D I knew the mini-shrine would be small, but I didn't appreciate how small it is. It makes the detailing that much more lovable. I'm thrilled.

It is kinda like an animal rescue story. I bought everything because of how great it looked in the photos online and because I believe in the cause but now I'm here to show you the photos of the happy rescues at home, adored and animated, magicked by their surroundings and the comfort of being wanted and loved and home safe and now mine. Everything is just *so* happy!






The little dear deer tucked onto my altar with a black walnut husk for size comparison and our family portrait from neva_butterfly in the background.


Beloved bunny with a lantern from Sarah and Jenn's fairy wedding.


Magic Mini Shrine with some beach-collected historical trash. :)


My Home and Family Shrine. Lots of sea glass and sea pottery, gifts from friends and heartful reminders of my family and our spiritual life.


And my Pixie Stars! :) The bobby pins on them hold super-well. I don't think they'd budge an inch, ever, and I have super fine hair. (Though it is surprisingly difficult to take a photo of one's own side of head.)

Wow, seeing them in your hand and the clips in your hair really let me visualize the size which was lost on me before. And seeing them in that window light surrounded by colors shows how amazing they look. Not that the photos Jenn and Sarah took weren't awesome, but this lets me see how they can fit into a home and an altar and really shine there. The mini shrine is amazing!

So charming and beautiful! I love seeing the special places/displays in your home. <3 And those pixie stars are perfect in your hair!

I can't wait until my laundry change jar is full again so I can buy some tiny shinies, too. ;)
