Reading this made me feel like a child again, imagining myself running out into an enchanted forest at midnight to watch this beautiful fairy ballet by moonlight, being sung and danced to sleep 🥲💗🧚✨🌙 thank you Jennae and Nadia for bringing such magic to us!

Yay! That’s so beautiful to hear. It’s exactly how it felt to write it too 🥹

Since writing this piece, I always come back to this image whenever I wake from a nightmare and need to go back to sleep. I have even created a playlist with ballet lullabies that I play. I hope that the midnight fae ballet can hold you tenderly in the same way.

Thank you so much Suyin for your love and support 🩰✨🌕🧚🏻‍♀️🌲

Oh the ballet lullabies sound so dreamy and beautiful!! If you ever plan to share a link to them in Once Upon A Fairytale, I would absolutely love to have such a playlist 🥰✨🩰

That’s such a good idea! Substack doesn’t let me post playlists anymore, only individual songs, but I’ll try and find a way ☺️🩰

I mean that last part... my heart! Literally read this while E naps next to me. Can't wait to listen to it when she wakes. Also I think "chamomile song" is one of the prettiest things ever. 🫶🥹🧚🏻‍♀️

Jennie, you found my feather poem and I heard your voice when I opened a precious musical box with fairy magic tunes. The stars shined bright on a clear night, moons beams were spot lights as dancers leaped on a mushroom stage. Your poem and song brings the lightness of evening dew that settles on every flower petal.

So so magical! This fed my inner child so much! I've been thinking and writing a lot about fairies recently, so it makes me so happy to find other women who are passionate about these fantastical realms. 'the allegro of delicate wings and the adagio of jasmine swings' this line was especially special <3

As well as mermaids and many other enchanting beings. I’m so looking forward to you reading all the stories and poetry that we have created in this fairytale world. So much magic to come 🙉
