This is usually where I say goodbye but I have a little to add.  It is okay if you don't want to read it, just skip ahead to the comments if you do grab a cup or coffee or tea and join me.  I was wondering why faeries and pixies have always been a "fall thing" for me.  As soon as fall is in the air, I want to color faeries with  acorn hats on their heads.  (if you go through the last few post, you will see I colored quite a few) It suddenly occurred to me that it might have something to do with Girl scouts, Brownies in Particular.  So I looked on Pinterest for images of the Brownie Handbook from the year I started Brownies and look!

Here is another image:

I used to run home from Catholic School (about a mile from my house) drop off my school books and then walk about another 1/2 mile to the public school to go to the Brownie Meetings.  During those walks I would let my imagination run free.  I would smell the crisp fall air and kick the colorful leaves under my feet and pretend that I could see fairies in the trees and "Brownie Pixies" hiding in the bushes.  There was a poster in the Brownie meeting room of  some Brownie Pixies wearing acorns as hats!  I also want to mention that I was probably six or seven when I did all of this walking.....no one worried that anything bad could happen.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,
