Dear Ivy June,
Happy birthday my love!!!!! Nanny wishes she could have been there for your party; but we are celebrating in Georgia. Wait, if you are reading this you have received a very special package in the mail! Did Queen Merrily and her fairies make it safely to you?
I'm sure you have so many questions about your lovely fairies. I met Queen Merrily and her faires on my back porch one cool afternoon.

As we began talking she told me her fairies were searching for a special place to live. Our little back porch would not suffice for the adventures they dreamed of; but I remembered your beautiful magnolia tree.
As I began explaining how wonderful your tree was, their eyes began to sparkle. When I explained how you love to swing on your ladybug rope swing hanging in it, they all twirled in excitement. When I described how sweet the magnolia blossoms smell, Queen Merrily dreamily sighed, "Merry Magnolias!". And when I said you climb on its large branches, Queen Merrily darted into the air.

I called out to her, "Where are you going?". Then bubbling with excitement she said, "To Ivy and her magnolia tree!". I explained to Queen Merrily how far you live from me and I told her I could help her and her faires find you and the tree; and they were all delighted.
The fairy house you found in the box is to keep next to your bed. I hope this night light can always remind you of how wonderful your imagination is. Your night light started out as a teapot, but as I was working on it I accidentally poked a hole in it. A teapot with a hole is no good; so I had to re-imagine what it could be. After looking at the hole and making it a little larger, I decided to make it the door to a fairy house. I began busily working to turn it into a tree, add more windows in the knots of the wood, and transform the lid into an acorn top!
Imagination did not stop there. When Uncle Matt was looking at it he said, "What if it was a night light?!". We knew it could be amazing so we began thinking about how to add a light. Any ideas of where the light came from??? A Santa I found at Goodwill.
Once we put the light in I decided your present was still not complete. I was trying to imagine how I could make it more special. I decided to add furniture in the house and get you a book about fairies to go with it. I was able to find furniture but no book. But then my imagination led me to the best idea of all...we would create our own stories together!!!
You and your faires can play as much as you want, but sometimes Nanny will give you ideas about adventures your faires want to go on. I hope we can use this blog to write out all of the stories you and your fairies construct. Make sure to tell mom and dad all about your adventures, maybe even get them to join you and take pictures. Then, they can add your stories and pictures to my prompts.
I hope you are as excited as I am. I can't wait to hear all about your adventures.
I love you,
Nanny Bec
P.S. Introduce the fairies to everyone and the magnolia tree. Make sure you all get a good night's sleep and check back tomorrow for your first adventure idea!
