Inspiration and magic.....

this morning, whilst eating breakfast, Evie was completely engrossed in reading The Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks.


this is not the first time Evie has read this particular book.... nor will it be the last I am sure.

and just like when she reads Narnia books and imagines hidden doors into magical worlds, this book causes her to wonder.....

in her room I find her little Beatrix Potter tin.....


with this cute fella inside.....


and a light sprinkling of fairy dust, just for good measure.....

and her hope? That her tin will be magic and she will end up with a 'real live' deer......
