Minuet and Nissi

 


Once Upon A Time, two babies were born
one late at Night
the other in the Morn. 


 





 


A pink New Moon,
Minuet was her name...
the first of her kind,
wearing a Bow as bright as a flame! 


 





 




But as Different as they were,
they were even more Alike.
As they soon would Discover,
when the Hour of Providence would Strike.


 





 
Once in a Blue Moon
 the Golden Hour would allow...


 


Nissi  to follow her daytime  dreams
 all the way to the Stars.
On Bunny Rabbit Ears and Dragonfly Wings.


 





 


It was then that Minuet spotted Nissi,
 and even though she looked rather funny...
 The Moon was determined to capture
 this strange Flying Bunny.


 


Minuet held her breath
('til she began to turn Blue),
tinkled her nursery bells gently
as the Baby nearer flew.


 



  


Nissi came to rest
 upon the New Moon's pink tip.
Minuet began to giggle,
 causing the baby to slip!


  





 


Minuet quickly went into to an Orbit  to keep the Bunny sound asleep.
Softly humming a Lullaby while moon clouds
tucked in about her small feet.







 
Together they circled every planet they could find.
Two babies Content
of one Heart and one Mind.


 



  


When Nissi awoke she was soundly rested, back in her bed.
The Sun was Arising
and she was ready to be Fed.
While High Above her, was circling a pink New Moon
 happily Orbiting
while humming a Bunny Rabbit tune.


 





 
Two Friends though separated by distance and time,
finally found  perfect Peace together
 within this Fairytale Rhyme.









The (happy) End.


 





 


Minuet and Nissi's story is inspired by a real baby ,
we know very well, who sleeps during the day
and is awake most the night...
and who has yet to meet her Minuet!


 

 

The Story of Givanni Thistledown

    Once upon a Time there lived a  Faerie Child  who was born with No Wings. Destiny seemed to offer her no treetop Flights nor soaring with the birds in the Clouds

She was Givanni of the Shoemaker Clan, 

and the Forest Folk did not quite know what to think of her. One lonely day, she left to live forever  with the Creatures of the Ground... the field Mice who gathered  the Seeds of Posterity  from Flowers and Thistles in the Hidden Gardens very very Far Away. 
 
 
The humble Mice welcomed the faerie child and made a Crown of Devotion for her. Which she often used as a basket to help gather the Thistle Seed for their Winter Stores.  

 

From her own Devotion, she crafted a pair of polka dot Mouse Ears to wear. The field Mice were quite Honored and Loved her all the more.


 



However, Destiny also proved to love Givanni. It happened that at the end of a particularly Long Summer,   the Forest had not yet Bloomed.  



 Brother Sun had tarried elsewhere and the delicate Flower Sprouts were languishing from the lack of his life giving rays.  


But, in late August, his face finally smiled upon the deep Woodland Gardens and Joyful Blossoms sprang forth. Their soothing fragrance filled every corner of the Forest Realm. 
 
 

The Sun's arrival was heartily welcomed by the Forest Folk. 
 An order was sent to the Elven Cobbler Gavier to immediately build a pair of Slippers  from the rarest, most beautiful Blossoms   before they faded.

 



The Elven King would present these Slippers to his Queen before all the Forest inhabitants.
 
    The Cobbler was no Gardener,  nor was his assistant Fairy Everllie. They were at a loss  to find and prepare the perfect Flowers in such quick order.
 
   
Everllie enlisted the advice of the supplyroom Mice. Who then relayed the urgent request to their Kin far and wide.
  
The news finally reached the farthest corners of the Forest and was  told to the child Givanni.
 

 
Givanni indeed knew where to gather the most beautful Flowers. But without a Winged Flight, the Blooms would surely not survive the long Journey.  

 
It was her Mice who finally figured a solution. They gathered their Thistledown and tied it all into a very large bundle. Givanni gingerly climbed up onto the fluffy Cloud ...
 

 
Then the Mice sang for Charity Wind to blow a Faithful Breeze to carry their beloved faerie  all the way to the Cobbler's Forest Door... 
And that is just the way it Happened.
  The sight of Givanni riding in on a white cloud of Thistledown,  her arms full of late summer Blossoms, so impressed the Cobbler ...
 
 
that he allowed Givanni to add the Flowers with her own Sewing Needle.  


  When the King presented the Slippers to the Queen, everyone bowed in awe  at the rich Fragrance and brilliant Colors. 
 


  The Queen could not take her eyes off the Slippers ...
 
 
  and lost her Heart to The little Wingless Fairy with her Spotted Mouse Ears who finally found her Flight!
 


The Forest Kingdom forever thereafter  affectionately embraced and christened her...
Givanni Thistledown
 

   
 

Efee and Little Bird

From the 2008 archives of b.b.flockling...

Efee and Little Bird. 

 (Ever so slowly, I would like to transfer my favorite stories here to serve
 as a visual journal

for the gentle characters who began their life in the Doll Room!) .

Arriving next from within the deep recesses of the Rainforest will be an Elder of great reknown...and affection. Her name is Efee. She is, oh, about 700 years old ~ give or take a 100 years ~ and is the most treasured visitor of all the faerie children because of her fantastical stories and her seemingly bottomless heart. She finds room for all the young faes in her generous heart, and they know it well!
