Halloween Time - Postcard Friendship Friday #83


Forgive me for getting PFF up so late today.  I have been feeling a bit under the weather.  

I love this whimsical postcard--the poetry and artwork is just delightful!  

I have always loved fairytales and fairies--however, in my research I discovered a scary tradition about fairies and goblins on  Hallows Eve!  It is whispered that in the hours between dusk and midnight, fairies and goblins go out to collect as many souls as they can.  

To rescue an imprisoned soul, a person could collect the dust from beneath the feet of fairies and goblins, then throw it at these creatures--who would then would be obliged to release all the souls they held captive.  Have you ever wondered what fairy dust was made of?  Me too!  Now  we know!

Faery, Snail and Rose - Pink Saturday

 I found this whimsical illustration online and fell in love it.  This painting reminds me of the faeries who, in my imagination, populate my garden.  It seems to me, riding on the back of a snail might be rather slow--but perhaps faery dust causes him to fly instead--which would be fun for a snail, and a great deal quicker!  What do you think?
