Savanah loves fairies. Anything Disney Princess or Fairy and she is all over it. She has quite a few of the fairy dolls and a friend of our has actually made her a few items including a small cow fairy and a mason jar with a trapped fairy.

Æsops Fables: The Peacock and the Crane A Peacock taunted a Crane with the dullness of her plumage. “Look at my brilliant colors, said she, And see how much brighter they are than your poor feathers! “I am not denying,” replied the Crane; “that yours are far gayer than mine, but when it comes to flying, I can soar into the clouds, whereas you are confined to the earth like any dunghill cock.” Moral: Fine feathers don’t make fine birds.

Flower Fairies Means Imagining an Unspoiled World

Forever young, forever beautiful, tiny, yet with big hearts, flower fairies live in so many of the novels and folk tales of almost all cultures on earth. Believing in flower fairies means imagining an unspoiled world where flying from one place to another, disappearing at will or making spells is just as natural as having a piece of cake.
