More Fairy Dust than Tinkerbell

I saw just the last of the most recent Peter Pan movie and was horrified that it may have been billed as a movie for children. It was very very dark. At any rate, I noticed just how much fairy dust Tinkerbell was giving off so today as I was packing and sorting things in the upstairs room where I have my crafts and books and such, I noticed the vase that had been used at my wedding. It has been holding knitting needles--yes, I have a lot of them.

Coincidentally the wind was picking up again today.

The wind, the vase and fairy dust collided in my tired imagination in this way. The vase is galvanized --like those buckets we all used to have before plastic became king. I bought galvanized because I got married in a granary and the galvanized metal really looked nice. The florist who did all the flowers suggested spraying them with sprakly stuff to reflect the evening light and the candlelight. Great idea. Like so many great wedding ideas, it invovled more effort and took way more time than anyone expected. I wound up spraying the vases in my garage and rolling on the sparkly stuff, fairy dust. I then took them back to the florist and then in a flotilla of cars we took them to the wedding.

The florist warned me that the fairy dust would get all over everything. She was right. In my garage, my car, everyone's else's cars and on clothes and in hair. Despite packing and a long voyage, the article sleft fairy dust in the boxes, on the surrounding packing and hence in odd places even in Caithness.

Now Caithness wind can take the thoughts right out of your mind, so I got the idea that I might just set this vase out tonight as the wind picks up and see what the wind can do with it. If you are sleeping with the window open, you might think about closing it tonight unless you want some fairy dust to come your way.
