a christmas package from the fairie queen

On Christmas morning, the resident queen of the fairies in our garden didn't forget her favorite little girl.   Of course she doesn't have access to wrapping paper, but she still managed to leave a little surprise.

It's hard to see with all the holly in the photo above but the present was wrapped in a big aralia leaf.

Inside was a darling little carved wooden fairy candle for Naiya's nightstand.  I almost loved the packaging more than the gift.  Naiya was just pleased that the fairies remembered this special day so soon after the Solstice had just passed.
