For Kiki The Bluebell Fairy

























My hundred thousand bells of blue,
The splendour of the spring,
They carpet all the woods anew
With royalty of sapphire hue;
The Primrose is the Queen ’tis true
But surely I am King.
Ah yes,
The peerless woodland King.
 
The Song Of The Bluebell Fairy by Cicely Mary Barker, via 1
 (Barker's illustration is that of Granny Kiki as a young girl) 


 
 
 














 
 
 

 
 
 



 
The Outfit:
 
Kiki's Vintage 1930s Pale Gold Tapestry Silk Satin Wedding Dress: made by late granny Kiki for her own wedding day!
Inspired by her love of Medieval gowns.
 
 
 
The Soundtrack
 
Beethoven: Pastoral Symphony
 
 
Photographs taken by me, self portraits using the timer on my little digital camera, often by propping the camera between tree branches as I don't have a tripod. 
Strange over exposed light effects created by my camera, for no apparent reason. I like them!
 
 
I'm delighted to be a part of the next Visible Monday, hosted by the lovely Patti from www.notdeadyetstyle.blogspot.co.uk, click on the website link to see her outfit and those of many others.
