Morning-Glory’s Easter Bonnet
Miss Glory, discarding last year’s creation,
For Easter must have a pale pink innovation;
The dream of last year is faded and small,
And blue’s the wrong color – it’s not chic at all.
“An American Beauty,” says Posy, “is style,
To wear my old bonnet is hardly worth while,
Since Paris proclaims that a Madame Cochet
Is entirely too small and absurdly passé.”
A YEAR WITH THE FAIRIES.

I so love the pink and green color scheme, and I have a weakness for little persons dressed in flowers or acorn hats or cobweb veils or the like…
Glad she is wearing her flower hat for you! There is a narrow range of color in this image – if you don’t like pink & green . . .
I wonder if their is a “name” for liking little people wearing acorn hats?

Can it be a popular enough syndrome to have a name? Fairy tale Fixation? I was convinced as a child that there were any number of little people, creatures, etc., around, just out of sight.
Yes, I do think it is popular enough! Are you sure there isn’t still something small still lurking just out of sight – maybe just once in while!
I always enjoy your thoughts.

Every little girl should be able to wear a petunia in just that shade of pink! I love your website!
Thank you very much! Nice to know a fairy tale expert likes my my blog.

I remember some of these illustrations from when I was a kid. I’m glad you are putting them up. I enjoy celebrating childhood.
Childhood – much happens then – many things to celebrate (and not celebrate). Glad you are enjoying the illustrations. I look forward to reading your fairy tales!

I follow your blog but you aren’t showing up in my Reader and I don’t know why.
