Tea Faerie Mug

Have you ever been strolling through your garden, early in the morning, and come across a piping hot cup of tea nestled among the vines you forgot to prune back last spring? No? Well, tea faeries ARE rather rare, it’s true, but I’ve captured a likeness of this one so you will know what to look for. Teablossom Terpsichore (genus Faerie Terpsichoreus, commonly known as the Dancing Faerie) graces my garden from time to time, usually accompanied by her Toasty Butteredflies. I often find her soaking her little slippered feet in a cup of Earl Grey and wearing her adorable little teacup hat. Out of politeness, I avoid nibbling her buttery friends, but they do make me awfully hungry for breakfast. Teablossom does a lovely little dance while I thoughtfully sip my first cup of the morning. Keep an eye out Teablossom because a Tea Faerie dance is a great way to start your day. She WILL swipe your teaspoons, though… This original artwork and story are copyright Ramona Szczerba 2008.
