I'm very fortunate that there is a specialist fairy shop quite close to me. Sadly, most of their stock is very expensive but going in there is like walking into a magical world.

southeaster Wrote::wings: we have loads of fairies and fairy stories here in the isle of man. we have a bridge here that folklore says when you go over the bridge you need to greet the fairies or bad luck befalls you.

You can also get fairy bridge tea here and fairies in bottles. If you stop at the fairy bridge you can leave notes on the trees overhaning the bridge. ( and there are loads of notes pegged to the trees).

Quite quaint really.

This sounds a little bit like my childhood. The neighbours had quite a big garden, with huge rocks and all around the rocks were moss growing. My friend and I believed that the fairies lived there. It was our favourite place during the holidays - sitting there and talking about the fairies and even leaving notes for them.

Whenever I see green moss growing I think of my childhood fairies.... and the snowdrops that are out now, are possibly their flowers

And what's wrong with believing in Fairies ???? Some of us still believe in Santa !!!
