Lilly - Anna's Forest Fairy

About 3 years ago - wait, even longer - when Anna was in kindergarten (yes, 2004) she started writing notes, leaving them on her nightside table to any fairy that might be out there to respond.

Well, what do you know? A fairy came, read her notes and then left Anna notes in the tiniest handwriting you have ever, ever seen. (note to self: take a couple pictures of the notes and upload). You can hardly read them the print is so tiny!

Anyway over the years we have learned a lot about Lily - she has a sister who had a baby about 2 years ago, her father is a pretty good carpenter, she lives up on the hill above us somewhere, her birthday is on April 1st and she always remembers to write on Anna's birthday and Christmas.

In fact, almost every time Lily does come, she always has some tiny, itty, bitty something to leave behind for Anna. Some of the items include:
mini wheelbarrow
mini flower pot with plastic flowers
mini clay pot
mini friendship book
mini toys
mini fairy tale books
beautiful mini stone heart
(again, I'll take a couple pictures of some of the cool things that she has brought).

Hmmmm....today's Feb 13th and I think I can pretty much confirm that Lily isn't coming tonight - she doesn't have anything for Valentine's Day....

And, funny how Lily doesn't come when I am not at home.

I wonder why?
