A gentle catch-up in Nature’s Advent Calendar tonight.
A mistletoe fairy’s nest — discovered in the wilds of my imagination — rests among gathered treasures on my studio desk. A reminder that even when days falter, wonder still waits.

By fairy light this evening, I’m reading the Turkey-tail Fairy from Nature’s Advent Calendar.
A quiet story of layered worlds and hidden strength, shared as winter settles and the first Christmas sparkle begins to glow indoors at Madrigal. #WildFairytail #NaturesAdvent
Tonight’s reading from Nature’s Advent Calendar is the Holly Blue Fairy — a tale of twinkling eyes and quiet light.
Mine aren’t twinkling tonight, after eye injections, a reminder that even fairytales hold shadow. Shared gently, for anyone carrying both light and weariness.

Handwritten notes addressed to “Father Chris-mouse,” written in dark oak gall ink on pale silver birch bark paper. The paper rests among natural textures, suggesting woodland correspondence and a fairytale tradition rooted in nature.
A wide view of Jane’s studio desk with Nature’s Advent Calendar evolving, surrounded by gathered natural ephemera. Seed heads, dried leaves, shells, papers, ink, and small handmade objects are arranged loosely around the book. The scene feels curiously cluttered, intimate, and seasonal — a working surface where nature, story, and craft are unfolding together day by day.
Today’s wild treasure: mouse-kin letters to Father Chris-mouse — written on silver birch paper in oak gall ink.
In the wild, field mice rely on seeds and berries to see them through winter. These tiny letters carry wishes shaped by real need: warmth, shelter, and enough to nibble on.

A fireside moment from the Fairy House — tonight I’m reading Hazel Dormouse’s Invitation from Nature’s Advent Calendar, a quiet winter welcome, softly spoken. ✨🧚✨
