She’s been with me for several weeks now, poised gracefully atop my dresser, her gaze focused towards my bed where she watches over me as I sleep.

Life’s little gifts…

Faerie fantasies, elf encounters, gnome sightings, pixie dust, enchanted realms… we’ve all tickled our minds and dazzled our imaginations with the tales of magic and mayhem. But are they real?

Faerie Enchanted Characters

Written by:

Who among us hasn’t mentally entertained glamorous tales of fantasy? Most of us have daydreamed at least once or twice about alternate realities, other dimensions, dragons, wizards, and faeries. What would it be like if we really did have an Alice in Wonderland experience in which we were suddenly transported into a world [...]
