Stories of the heart............to come............

A peek inside my fairytales in progress......entitled "Tales of the Heart from the Faerie Realm of Sunapee"..........


"As the Princess entered through the curved doorway, her eyes became like moons.  The little fairy shop before her held a treasure trove.  All imaginings of glitter and glore sat before her on gold tables.  A glittery mist drifted along the floor covering the feet of any faerie who passed into the shop’s magical walls.  Wands with glittering stars filled a bright pink glowing pot and the Princess could not help but reach out and touch one.  Her fingers glowed as glitter sprayed out from its tip.  Startled, she jerked her hand back and the faerie shopkeeper giggled behind her back.  “Just a little sparkle for you………” she said.  The Princess smiled and walked slowly backwards in awe staring at all the beautiful glittering things that filled the faerie shop.  Vials of wing mist, glitter dust and shimmering ribbons floated in the air.  Mushroom-shaped candy sat in bright brass pots on a table before her just waiting for her taste.  Each one was a different color with sweet sugared dots adorning its capped top.  Twinkling stars peeked out at her from inside a glass jar.  A cork top held them in as they jumped within hoping for her touch.  When let loose from their glass cage, they floated and flopped about any room to illumine any faerie celebration.  In another glass jar were jumping hearts.  Faerie lore was that these jumping hearts would bring love to the holder if they could keep them within their pockets without them escaping.  For it was known that jumping hearts were hard to keep within a faerie’s reach. 

As she gazed with wonder, she noticed a lot of faerie wishing coins.  To the bearer, it was said a wish would come true if thrown into the magical lake under the full moon.  On another low table, she saw a jar filled with noogs blinking their little lights.  Purploon juice dripped into the jar for the noogs to drink their fill.  The Princess turned and noticed a fountain that sprayed a blue-green mist.  She stood beneath it and felt the cool spray and turned in circles with her arms spread wide.  Her skin glowed and glittered and the Princess knew she had entered into a land of wonder.  Her eyes became heavy and the Princess noticed a pink pillow upon the floor.  She sat and laid her head against it and told herself it would be just for a moment.  She soon drifted off and the faerie shopkeeper smiled, knowing that it was the perfect spot for her to rest......"
