Off with the Old, on with the New?

Never, ever at Meadow Sweet Grove, do the fairies shed the old with their Spring Cleaning.  They know the old has beauty, wisdom, history and grace that is rarely found in the new.  "Respect and Restore" is always their motto.   But during this year's Spring Cleaning, a little bird in the Grove whispered a keen observation to me.  Sometimes the fairies will bring new treasures into their homes, if they can't find a vintage version.  Following this sweet bird's astute advice, a "Brand New" category has been added to Meadow Sweet Grove's store.  And is in the image of the best Brand New thing I could ever possibly imagine.  In this category will be new and delightful things, that hopefully will become the vintage and second hand treasures of tomorrow! ​

Springtime - There's Magic in the Air!

​How can anyone doubt magic in the Springtime?  With budding leaves and pretty blossoms popping out on trees that had spread only barren dry branches in the Winter.   With pairs of robins and flickers flitting about in happy courting dances each morning. And with the ability to finally tuck the winter coat to the back of the closet!

Magic isn't a supernatural force.  Magic is in the everyday - sometimes in spontaneous happenings, as is best expressed by the wonder of nature.  Sometimes the result of concentrated effort - which is most usually experienced by "setting your mind" to something and bringing it about through obvious steps - such as following a recipe to make a meal.

The fun part is in the imaginative play and to me is so creatively expressed in books of fairy tales (and other children's books), artwork and little figurines that try and "quantify", in solid form, how this magic must come about through the help of magical creatures or objects, and what they must look like to us mere mortals.  For we are indeed mortal but magic itself is ​​immortal as is clearly represented each Spring with the new life all around us.

​So join in the magic this Spring!
