A Look At Garden Fairies

A friend of mine introduced me to the books of poems and art work by Cicely Mary Barker.  The following books are of her work and the poem is one of hers.

Spring Magic

The World is very old

But year by year

It groweth new again

When bud appear

The World is very old;

And sometimes sad;

But when the daisies come

The World is glad.

The World is very old;

But every Spring

It groweth young again,

And fairies sing.

This is an ad for Fairy soap that appeared in the "Ladies Home Journal for February 1919".

I do collect old Cigarette cases I use them for storing different things.  When I found this one I gave it to my friend to add to her collection.  I'm afraid the picture is not that great but I wanted to add it so I did.
