I know this isn't a postcard. Instead I hope you will enjoy this lovely poem with accompanying illustrations from my beloved, but tattered ancient book of Children's verse.
And when you have eaten well,
Fairy stories hear and tell.
Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!
Come up here, O dusty feet!
Here is fairy bread to eat.
Here is fairy bread to eat.
Here in my retiring room,
Children you may dine
On the golden smell of broom
And the shade of pine;
And when you have eaten well,Fairy stories hear and tell.
Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!
Lovely! Is this from Robeert Louis Stevenson?
ReplyDeleteI wish I could go back to the age when I stared up in the starry skies, and stayed put on my terrace at night.. hoping against hope that I'd see a fairy!

ReplyDeleteI remember this fondly from my childhood. I had all kinds of ideas about what fairy bread would taste like.
ReplyDeleteWe used to leave little balls of white bread on leaf plates, and little fairy cups of water for our dear fairy friends. I hope they ate well. Too bad we never quite made it to fairy story time.
ReplyDeleteOh so sweet....love the illustrations.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful weekend
Life really was a lot simpler then, wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteThose are sweet illustrations.
ReplyDeleteI have dusty feet and definitely would like some bread to eat... with a generous dollop of honey please! Happy Pff from the queen of the late girls:)
