Love Note from a Fairy
2009 April 1
Araina came to me this morning and said, “Mommy, I found a fairy note for you.” This is what she had found………………
A little later I caught “the fairy” writing on Osage Orange tree roots…………………..
Osage Orange trees grow on the edge of a little woodland and farmland in the back of our property. They were planted there many years ago as a natural fence to keep cattle on the farmer’s land. Some of the roots had been plowed over for a future crop of corn or soybeans, so we brought some home to play with.
The roots flake apart like little sheets of paper, the girls have coined it “fairy paper.”
Oh, and in case you were wondering what I caught the fairy writing……………………….
I Love Dabby.
I love the fairy notes! Osage Orange makes a beautiful, natural dye. Perhaps the extra bits could be saved up to dye a beautiful play silk….
The notes are so sweet! Osage is on my “to plant list”. The oranges are supposed to keep away spiders, which I prefer *outside* the house.
Oh that’s so very lovely!
You have a very sweet family.
So sweet. My dh used to write me love notes on wood shavings… I still have them…
That is so sweet. Have a great day!
Aren’t kid’s imaginations the BEST??
Sweet, sweet, girls.
Such a sweet story. That wood is really cool too. Nothing like that where I live. Thanks for sharing. Your girls, I mean little fairies, are so sweet!
Both gorgeous, your daughter and the fairy paper.
Love this! Fairies are very popular in our house, too.
very sweet I love the fairy paper. what wonderful memories your kids will have.
Lucky Mummy and Dabby to have such a sweet fairy hovering around…. I love natural stationery!
precious little fairy you have there!
What fun to have fairy paper in their own backyard! What a lucky Dabby!
What fun, it really does look like paper the fairies would be using
and what very lovely notes to recieve! Your girls are so creative!
You have the sweetest little fairies around your house!
Wow, love letters from a fairy on fairy paper! You are so lucky. How adorable!
I love that. I used to write on birch bark when I was a kid– I thought it was so story-bookish.
How adorable!!
The decorating wax was also at A Toy Garden. It was kind of expensive, so I only brought out half for them to use. I saved the other half for another day.
Too sweet… lucky Dabby!
What a sweet little girl!
Oh how sweet. I love fairy notes.
aw, how cute. I have never heard of Osage trees but have seen trees that have thin sheets which could be used for “fairy” writing. That is sweet.
What fun! The fairy paper is so cool and the fairy is adorbable
. Received your lovely acorn in the mail yesterday. THANK YOU! I’m saving it for a special occasion to give to DS 
Aw … how cute. Perfect fairie paper too!
This is so cute. I love it when kids get creative and use things in ways I’d never think of.
What sweet girls you have! (and fairies too!) I’m sure Dabby will love his fairy note. That fairy paper is the coolest!
Your family is so, so sweet.
Gee… how cute can you be?!!
We have Osage trees in our woods too. I didn’t know about the roots, being fairy paper!
I bet Dabby is going to love his fairy note:)
