Fairy Postcard from Switzerland

Sadly, this is a mug shot supposedly of Samuel. It seems she got into some mischief.


I'll let the postcard itself tell the sob story. It reads:

"Oh my fairy, I am downtrodden. I was staying with Renata in a cheese factory. I'm in Switzerland now. I got in to some very serious trouble. We were playing hide-'n-seek in the swiss cheese room and got caught on the security camera. It wasn't me actually in the shot but I couldn't deny it because I was in fact playing too. I got kicked out and have to leave the country. I am so ashamed. I could cry. I love you, Samuel."

Fairy Postcard from Cuba

Samuel is staying for a few days in a heliconia greenhouse, next door to where a band holds practice sessions. She's enjoying herself and taking in all of that color and delicious scent.


It is warm in Cuba, but with an ocean breeze that cools everything perfectly, though making her a tad homesick. But the music playing nearby fills her heart with joy.

Fairy Postcard from Wales

Wales is the most colorful beautiful spot that Samuel has visited this journey to date. She is simply in love with it and could easily find herself living here she thinks.


Though she is a bit chilly writing the post card...


She knows that in the The Fairyhedgepig Kingdom the postal service is headed by a very adroit fastidious postmaster general who is a carrier pigeon and whose nickname is Pidge. So she doesn't worry about such things a postage stamps. Although she thinks that the stamp from Wales probably would have been very colorful and fun.

Fairy Postcard from Belgium

Belgian chocolate! Samuel couldn't have imagined anything so delicious in all of her days living in the Fairy Hedgepig Kingdom! She and fairyyellowbug spent many hours making home made chocolates of all kinds and descriptions in the cookbooks that they used to find out by the dump. True, some of these books were moldy beyond use, but some were salvageable and they'd dry them out in the yard by the sunflower patch. They made some pretty good chocolates in their trials but believe me, nothing even close to the real Belgian chocolate that Samuel has discovered on this leg of the journey.


Her postcard from Belgium reads:

"Dearest Fairy! Expect under separate cover 2 perfect gold leafed special ordered Belgian chocolates from me and Pierre, my new love. We are in Belgium sight-see-ing. Pardon typos. Love Samuel,xx"

Fairy Postcard from France

France has proven to be where the magic is for Samuel. She just feels 'alive' there. I think, and this is just my own opinion mind you, that it is because she has fallen in love. Here is what her postcard says:

"Hi fairy! I've fallen in love. His name is Pierre. We met at a bistro under my room at the hotel. He treats me to croissants and french pressed coffee every morning. I drew his picture so you could see how handsome he is. Love Samuel"

Need I say more?




Let's hope that Samuel's heart doesn't get crushed. She's been in France barely a week but perhaps there really is love at first sight. We shall see. To view more fabby postcards in the Postcard Challenge 2012 visit here. Thanks for stopping by! *smiles* Norma

Fairy Postcard fom China

Samuel a long time fan of opera in general has had her eyes opened so to speak. Here in China is opera that she's never ever heard of. It appears that she loves it!


Her post card reads:

"Dear Fairy! You cannot imagine how great it is in China!! At the park, they sing opera. Everyone is singing. And even the birds are quiet~when the singing contests (that's what it seems like) are happening~the birds listen too. I am in a place called Beijing. I'll bring you a piece of Jade. Love from Samuel"

Fairy Postcard from Brazil

Our girl hitched a ride to Brazil. Oh what a happy go lucky gal she is eh? She met up with some blogger friends and they decided to have their photo taken together and ... well, I'll let the post card message tell you what happened ... It reads:

Dearest Queen~my friends and I decided to have our photo shot up on top of the mountain and just as the camera went "click" a gust of wind started to blow me away and so Sweet Pea began reciting Shelley and Sugar and I didn't know what to think! We all had a good laugh anyway. Here's a post card of our "kodak" moment in Brazil. Love Samuel

Fairy Postcard from Spain

Samuel is in Spain taking dance lessons it seems. Here is his fairy postcard from Spain.


It reads:
"Hola fairy! Greetings from Spain. I'm in a small local tapas bar dining with friends. Last night when a dancer spun past me, a bit of lace from her mantilla veil fell at my feet. Now it's my prized possession. I'm learning to dance a few steps. I'll show you. Love Samuel"

Fairy Postcards from the edge of the forest...

"I like spiders and I like nettles
because they are so hated; and because
nothing is heard in their favor
and that everything
chastens their sad desire."
-Les Contemplations, Victor Hugo

A small word about Samuel. She is a spider who was thought to be male when he was found soaking wet and still, laying in the rotting leaves along the river that runs through the Fairy Hedgepig Kingdom. Fairyyellowbug came across him when she was seeking solitude that day. She wrapped him in a dry leaf and brought him home to her studio. There he recovered with thimbles full of hot chocolate and she named him Samuel. Later when she asked him if she wanted a 'girls' name she said no, she liked Samuel. So Samuel it remains and she does not like to be called Sam for short.

She found a place to live under the Oak and with Fairyyellowbug's help, set up house. She loves the Fairyhedgepig Kingdom but dreams of travel. We have much to say about her wanderlust but suffice it to say here that she found herself a stowaway who wound up much much farther away from home than she'd imagined. Austria!

And so with that, let's begin our correspondence between Samuel the spider and Fairyyellowbug the fairy.



Darling Fairyyellowbug
If this were Paris I'd call where I am staying a 'garret' but this is Austria! I am at the top of a house staying temporarily with a lady who makes lace. My webs are never going to be the same after this! I can hardly concentrate for the smell of the pastries. Oh! Have to run now as the dinner bell is ringing. I'll write soon. Love Samuel
P.S. they will forward my mail!
P.P.S. pardon my spiderly handwriting.
