The twinkling stars like candles light
Bring sparkle to an enchanted night
Where fairies play and frolic wild
And the song haunts the forest of the Evening child
*****
She kicks her bare feet through the falling leaves
And the creatures of the forest follow
to the jingle of her tamborine
*****
The large red cap of the forest toadstool
Becomes the most spectacular stage
The Fairies gather round
and the Brownies take seats amongst the large tree stumps
*****
She begins her dance
hopping from mushroom to mushroom
What a spectacular sight
she is to behold
*****
She is as wild and free as the music she plays
"Is she enchantress, witch, or spirit?"
The townfolk whisper
She is only the Toadstool Gypsy
an evening child of the forest
*****
I would love to introduce you to my newest creation
This is the Toadstool Gypsy
She is definitely a creature of the Other Side of Wonderland
With her Enchanted music and her Haunting voice
She plays for all of us here through the darkest parts of the evening
Just when the sun starts to sizzle on the tops of the trees
and everything in the Enchanted woods starts to turn
that faded red and orange color that seems to swallow
the trees, then the bushes, and then the floors of the forest
That is when you want to find your seat.
And then open your ears and
just Listen

(prints and postcards will be in my Etsy shop soon)

Yay, yippie, Congratulations
You will be receiving a set of postcards from the recent tea party
I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!! I've had gypsies on my mind all weekend while I searched gypsy music non-stop. Gotta love their music.
Your postcards are perfect!! And they have one of my favorite color combinations--red and aqua. Love, love, love.
Yes, I will linger to listen to the music. ;)
Have a great week, Wendy.
XOXO's,
Marcia
