This is for a great person and my bestest buddy.....on her birthday Sandra Hope that you have a great day filled with wonderful memories!!! Loves ya! Some more fiary facts.... * Roses are said to attract faeries. * Faeries despise iron and it is said that it can harm or even kill a faery. * To guard against mischievious spirits, it is best to use flint. * Whenever when you have shot a deer and are bringing it home at night, be sure to thrust a knife into the carcase, for that keeps the fairies from laying their weight on it. * A knife or nail in your pocket is enough to prevent the fairies from lifting you up at night. * Nails in the front of a bed ward off elves from women "in the straw" and from their babes; but to make quite sure it is better to put the smoothing-iron under the bed, and the reaping-hook in the window. * If a bull has fallen over a rock and been killed, a nail stuck into it will preserve the flesh from the fairies. * Fairies do not like the idea of having their names known * Some believe that if fairies know a person's name, they will do them an injury; but so long as they do not know their name, these mischievous sprites are powerless * Fairy Darts are flint arrow-heads, supposed at one time to have been thrown by fairies in their pranks * Fairy Hillocks are little knolls of grass, like mole-hills, said in the "good old times" to be the homes of fairies * Fairy Loaves or Fairy Stones are fossil sea-urchins, said to be made by the fairies * Faeries are attracted to laughter. * Faeries seem to gather where there are children playing. * Faeries love nature, woodland animals and tending to flowers. * Faeries love shiny stones, like marbles. * According to farmers, faeries love to play in straw. * Green is the faeries favorite color. Second favorite color is red. * A four leaf clover can give a person the ability to see a faerie even if they are in their invisible state. * People born in the morning can't see spirits or the fairy world. Those born at night can see the spirits of the dead. * Eggshells are favorite fairy homes * Ancient arrowheads, called elf stones, are used as a charm to guard cattle. * Fairies never eat salt and humans who even taste unsalted faerie food have the spell put upon them making them forgetful of their past life. If a human carried just a pinch of salt at all times, he would be guaranteed a good meal, and a good story to tell when he returned home. * Fairies love milk and honey and drink flower nectar as their fairy wine. * Fairies can assume any form and can make horses out of straw.
