| The Faerie Market from Stardust by Neil Gaiman Illustration by Charles Vess (awesome artist!) |
Hello dearies, and welcome to the faerie market. Just a few things you need to know...
Take a banana with you. If you eat it before noon, it's like gold. If eaten before two, it's like silver. But after two, it has no power. You never know when you'll need one.
Do you agree? Yes?
Excellent! Here's what I need to know from you:
What is your favorite color?
Ah! Yes, a lovely choice, reminds me of a smell... thank you.
Very well; gold, banana, what else? Ah yes, something you already possess. Grasp tightly onto your imagination and enjoy the market my pretties.
Fear not the unexpected!

I don't trust that old lady. Not eating that banana...
ReplyDeleteIs there actually something in that crystal ball or is that a smudge? O_0
No? Who knows what fortunes you'll find ; ) ~ E
DeleteI'm afraid bananas and i don't get along, but I think I'd like to explore the market a bit anyhow :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you thoroughly enjoy your tryst around the marketplace ~ E
DeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one not willing to take that banana. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou should take it... what's your favorite color dearie? ~ E
DeleteEating a bowl of strawberries as I type, will this do instead of a banana?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, my favourite colour just happens to be (banana) yellow, the brighter the better.
Hmmm... I'll have to check the books on substitution strawberries for bananas. You are a wise one to choose the lovely color yellow! ~ E
DeleteOkay, I love bananas, but I'm a little creeped out by the old gal. :0)
ReplyDeleteAnd this was a super cute post!!!!!!
Why should you find me creepy, my pretty ; ) ~ E
DeleteHow creepily cute! I've always preferred fairies who're not sweetness and light, so the fortune teller is right up my alley. I sure hope there's a fortunate story in my future. I have my good luck banana right here!! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are my sort of person then, Lexa Cain. Relish your banana! ~ E
DeleteWell, I ate a banana for breakfast...does that count? Looks like a kitty in the crystal ball...but it could be a monster. Lord knows I'm not good at puzzles. :D
ReplyDeleteWas it before noon? If so, it has the same quality as gold ~ E
DeleteI can definitely see a cat in the crystal ball, and I think it might even be a big cat - maybe a panther or tiger!
ReplyDeleteYou put so much work into the post and I Loved it!
That's your inner spirit dearie. You and I have a lot in common- in the magical sense, that is ; ) ~ E
DeleteSuch a fun post. I'd love to visit a fairy market.
ReplyDeleteDonna- Wouldn't it be fascinating! ~L
