I'm making up a batch to have with me on Saturday, to sell as 'Fairy Stones' to the little kids. I like having something inexpensive and colorful on the table so the kids have something in their range too. The story goes that fairies like to sit on rocks in the garden to sun themselves, and this way if a fairly comes visiting the stone has a special cushion on it just for them.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106322945426603591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3447716555829893540.post-30776446901378814942011-11-10T06:20:31.568-08:002011-11-10T06:20:31.568-08:00Go for it!
