Spring Is Here and Magical Flowers Are Blooming!
Hello my fellow flower fairies! Spring has finally arrived with all the colorful blooms, lots of sunshine, blue skies and warm days and it’s making me so happy after a long and cold winter. I’ve had so much fun discovering all the beautiful flowers blooming and venturing near and far to enjoy the springtime blossoms! And of course, I’ve spent many happy hours in my own enchanted garden growing sparkling new flower jewelry full of all the springtime joy…here’s what I’ve been up to recently in flower fairyland!
Waking up and seeing the blue sky sparkling and the sun shining has made me jump (and sometimes dance!) out of bed and go see what new flowers are blooming because it seems as if bursts of pink, yellow, purple and all the colors of the rainbow are just growing by the minute and there is always a new blossom to discover! I’ve gone on lovely long walks and found magical arrays of tulips blooming in the sunshine, the most colorful flowers waving their happy blossoms in the breeze and endless bursts of bright pink azaleas straight from an enchanted land…
I visited my favorite cherry blossoms, shining shimmering pink against the blue sky, on a beautiful day that seemed impossible after so many grey ones. For even though spring arrived in a glorious splash of color and sunshine this year (it seemed as if it happened all at once!) the weeks leading up to it were cold and windy and it just seemed impossible that flowers would ever bloom…but I had to hold onto the hope, because just like the tiny buds that somehow magically erupt into glorious flowers…it just takes time! And it look a little extra time this year, but it was so worth the wait…
I’ve been infusing my sparkling flower jewelry with extra springtime happiness to give it even more shimmer, shine and flower fairy magic! Each glistening flower somehow magically finds blooms in nature that just match it perfectly, like my flowers are finding a friend out in a world…and it’s wonderful too because that means whenever I wear a sparkling flower (always!), I find the most beautiful flowers. I truly recommend it ~ if you need to brighten up your day, just put on a glistening bloom and you’ll be so much more likely to notice the glorious flowers you see out and about!
One of my favorite days was when I went to the New York Botanical Gardens to see all of the glorious spring flowers blooming there. It had been a busy week and I was a little tired but as soon as I arrived and saw the beautiful arches of soft pink cherry trees framing the entrance, I knew it was worth the journey…it’s always worth going on a floral adventure!
Some of my favorite spring flowers are the wonderful magnolias, often the first to bloom in my neighborhood, so I had already said goodbye and see you next year to those brilliant pink blossoms but guess what! I ended up venturing into a new part of the gardens that I never had before, Magnolia Way, not having any hope or even tiny thought that the trees would still be flowering but as I walked over the hill, I saw the most glorious pink haze in the distance…
Not only were the magnolias somehow magically in full bloom, they were the biggest ones I had ever seen! The trees looked like pink castles with their branches reaching so wide and creating beautiful arches over the ground, so you could get lost among the pink blossoms in a world of fairytale happiness. It was the most beautiful sight (I didn’t even know that magnolias could grow that big!) and it gave me so much joy…and reminded me that it’s always worth exploring somewhere new, because you never know what magic you’ll discover!
When I came home that afternoon, full of sunshine and visions of the most colorful blooms, I immediately started growing new flower jewelry, full of all that springtime happiness, color and sparkle…and with lots of flower fairy magic, of course! I’m dreaming up shimmering new blossoms perfect for flower fairy queens to wear while frolicking beneath the magnolias and enjoying springtime soirees full of daffodils and butterflies…
I can’t wait to share more shimmering, magical spring time flower jewelry with you! I hope you are able to get out and enjoy the flowers too and go on fairytale walks to see all the new blossoms…it’s always worth it, especially if you’re feeling a little grey, and I hope you discover something magical! Until next time, my fellow flower fairies!
