Hi Kiki...a beautiful Faery post!!! We in the Land Down Under are heading into Winter Solstice - enjoy your Midsummer, my favourite Season...Dzintra♥x

Kiki! Hope you are doing well today. LOVE Midsummer and all the magic that surrounds it. I also adore the fairy art; I remember years ago purchasing one of the fairy cards just because it was so absolutely beautiful. Now, I collect all types of fairy art, dragonflies, etc. Makes me feel like a child :-) Have a fairy filled week; looking forward to more posts regarding this solstice celebration.

Silke said...

Oh, how magical! I knew I'd feel inspired coming here. And you reminded me of a performance of Benjamin Britten's Midsummer Night's Dream I once saw at the opera house in Cologne - it was the most magical performance I've ever seen. I don't remember much of the music, but I've never forgotten the costuming - it took me right into the realm of the faeries... Much love, Silke

We're looking forward to summer solstice and hoping for some nice summer like weather to go along with it. I need to get that flower fairy book for my girls, they'd love it. I love the painting Midsummer Eve, a real favorite of mine.
I'm looking forward to more of your Midsummer posts, and yes I'll join you in some fairy tea :)

Nessa said...

Beautiful images and ideas. I think I will re-read A Midsummer Night's Dream as part of the celebration. Thanks for the idea.

Icy BC said...

You've just transported me into a magical world of flowers and fairies! I'm not in the mid summer dream mood.

Carol said...

Oh KiKi ... I have missed your magic in my life. I so enjoy your enchanting posts. Midsummer is nearly here... I had a luna moth gift yesterday... maybe the fairies are favoring me. I hope to run into some in the garden. ;>)

Catharina Maria said...

That are beautiful photos , and yes I will drink a cup of tea with you ;0)

Such a Wondrous Place this Faery Space said...

Love this post dear friend... I am really enjoying my James Christiensen right now to answer your question above. It is astounding to see his imagination on canvas. I liken it to coming to a lovely place like this to rest the eyes. Thanks dear for your visit and joys you bring. Blessings.

Carousel Dreams said...

Yes, yes, yes! I will join you for Faery Tea! What a beautiful, magical post...you know how much I adore fairies. I will get out my fairy wings to dance beneath the moonlight, although it is our winter here x

Alina said...

I am ready, my wings are ready! Let's fly! Thank you Kiki, for your wishes and for your art XO

Princesa Nadie said...

Beautiful images, as always! I would like to read a good fairy tale!

Diane said...

Kiki, I love the touch of the upside-down flower!

There is a sunken garden at Longwood Gardens just outside of Philadelphia that always reminds me of a place where a Midsummer Night's Dream should be filmed. It's perfect for dancing princesses and fairies! Fountains and pools...and all hidden in this gorgeously landscaped secret little hollow!

I love the book! I bought it for myself. I go through it with the kids and we try to see which Fairy they look like. A lot of fun! It is my favorite! Beautiful post! You are so talented!
