Crab-apples, Crab-apples, out in the wood,
Little and bitter, yet little and good!
The apples in orchards, so rosy and fine,
Are children of wild little apples like mine.
The branches are laden, and droop to the ground;
The fairy-fruit falls in a circle around;
Now all you good children, come gather them up:
They'll make yu sweet jelly to spread when you sup.
One little apple I'll catch for myself;
I'll stew it, and strain it, to store on a shelf
In four or five acorn-cups, locked with a key
In a cupboard of mine at the root of the tree.
Disclaimers: 1. Fairy garden miniatures come in many different sizes and do not have a specific scale. Please consider the size when selecting items from different ranges to ensue they will complement each other and your miniature display. Having said that, we have seen first hand that children are not at all concerned with scale and will create magical scenes with items of all sizes. Older enthusiasts however may like to be more mindful of this.
2. Fairy ornaments and miniature accessories are not toys. It is the responsibility of parents/guardians/carers to consider the age and stage of development of the child and gauge the suitability of our items, as some are hazardous to young children due to the pointed ends, sharp edges or very small size (choking hazard). If not handled with care or dropped on a hard surface, they could break. We recommend that you keep any items of concern out of reach of young children and supervise play. 3. Most of the products on our website are handmade and/or hand painted.
