“A little glittery fairy dust can help you float, but a good taco brings you back down to earth.”
– from a wise anonymous fairy

here is another take on food offered from the fairies:
Folklore says that eating food offered to you while visiting Fairyland,
makes it impossible to ever leave and go back home.
By eating fairy food, Fairyland becomes a part of you and you’ll have to stay there forever.

I might skip the taco, but I am definitely heading to fairyland for the food, and staying there! 🧚
