Once upon a time in a faraway blogland, a fair queen princess lady was considering how to decorate Tuesday's tablescape. When the fair lady happened to learn that today is National Tell a Fairy Tale Day, she decided this would be a perfect theme for the royal table!
Now the fair lady had taught school for many years and so she not only loved sharing fairy tales with her noble pupils, but she happened to own a sizable collection of her own. Her grand library contained copies of such favorites as The Town Mouse and Country Mouse,
Snow White, The Penguin and the Pea and The Emperor Penguin's New Clothes (her students had adored the twists on traditional tales).
The lady also pulled out a few versions of Goldilocks and an autographed copy of Ponyella, which was a twist on Cinderella.
There wasn't room on the imperial table for all of her books from the vast assortment, so the fair lady limited the number, scattered some iridescent shreds and created a centerpiece.
She added a fancy vase with a pink flower and a plate she had acquired as a young girl when visiting the real Cinderella at the majestic palace in Walt Disney World. At this point, the fair lady considered her table complete. She thought about the happy times she'd spent with fairy tales during her own childhood and later while shaping the minds of her dear scholars. That made her smile and she lived happily ever after!
