I planted some pine trees 40 years ago and in the last few years have given me pine cones. Worth the wait.

Oh! Bravo! We’ve been propagating our willows here, always worth the wait for such beauty 🤍

[@333KKWallflower]

Have you ever considered making your poetry available? Perhaps self publishing and selling it in your Etsy shop? And of course illustrating it with your gorgeous whimsical art! Your words alone weave gentle images that awaken slumbering enchantments of the mind and heart. Ones that are too often left behind in childhood innocence. What a treasure it would be to have the "home made" gift of your idyllic prose! 💕

“The winter fairies have kissed my valley...” You have such a way with words, I love the way you describe things! I’m from a tropical climate, so it’s hard for me to fathom ice not starting to melt as soon as you touch it, but those ice crystals looked beautiful! Your wreath is absolutely lovely ✨

[@TheCottageFairy]

Oh! Thank you so much! I haven’t had that many snowy winters, I lived tropical for a long while, mostly in the Caribbean. I definitely love both a warm and cold December! ❄️ glad I could share come ice flakes, much love

[@catherinenunan3584]

Two Paolas! She does have a winning way with words. I can imagine the winter fairy that I have on one of the cards you created @The Cottage Fairy and she is flying over your little world. Iris (2 years old) and I saw a small pinecone yesterday on our morning walk and we brought it home. She was not sure what to make of it but I told her the fairies lived in the tree it came from.

[@thebrightestrainbowever3841]

Right? Doesn’t she?? I am also enchanted by her wording too

Hi Paola! Once again an amazing video. This video was so aesthetic it is definitely one of my favourites. When i was growing up my parents had to work in the hill tracts where we seldom saw people. I grew up playing by myself or my little brother. My mother always said that being alone is not in our hands,but feeling lonely is.
