Do you believe in fairies?

[K'Ehleyr]

Fairy lights I mean
Are they just for Christmas or a charming addition to your home lighting design? I put them up over Christmas around pictures and photos ~ just on one wall, I'm not a total freak and I like them and have kept them up.
So I vote for fairy lights all year round, just plain white ones, and not so many that your house starts looking like Stringfellows
My esteemed BBS fellows thoughts?

We've got ones shaped like dragonflies for our pergola.

YES! This is the kind of enthusiasm we need ~ good show

 

[bigdaddy]

Yes, I have dated a few...


Oh.... lights... never heard of fairy lights.

 

[Amaris]

Fairy lights? Pergola?

 

[Michael Chris]

What are fairy lights?

 

[JustKate]

Thank GOD you are talking about lights. I was...well, a bit worried. We haven't interacted much, K'ehleyr, but I've read quite a few of your posts here and there, and you never struck me as a Tinkerbell-in-the-garden kind of gal. ::whew::

I think the twinkly little lights can be nice in some rooms, but golly, you do have to be careful. It would be so easy to go overboard - not just with too many lights but too much of the stuff that twinkly lights can spawn. Such as lacy things, for example, and dried flowers. So watch yourself.

Are they fairly easy to keep dusted?

 

[Mallory]

What is this "dust" you speak of?

 

[JustKate]

^ That's this powdery stuff that's all over my house. I try not to acquire things that actually collect dust because I don't need any help with that.

 

[Jadzia]

Yes they're welcome anytime. But no flashing fairies.

I do believe in fairies, I do! I do! I do believe in fairies! I do I do!!!!!

 

[Michael Chris]

Seriously, what are fairy lights? I'm puzzled.

I've heard rumors that it exists. Unfortunately, most men are genetically incapable of seeing it. Or hearing crying babies either.

Itty-bitty Christmas tree lights.

That's your story and you're sticking with it, right?

 

[Michael Chris]

Ah, I see. Well, I've never actually seen them to my knowledge, but I understand.

Well, it's worked for over 50 years and three kids, so my answer is probably yes. Soon I'll be able to use the "I'm old and don't see or hear very well" excuse which is pretty much bullet-proof.

^ Your wife must be a wonderfully understanding woman. Or perhaps she just lets you get by with this one little thing.

It's the thing that makes you conscious and make you want to do sinful but fun stuff.
