The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen Scarf/Shawl/Wrap

Finished this read, probably one of the best fantasy books I’ve read this year. I loved the use of magic and the characters I’ve grown attached to and the plot twist had me gagged. 🌕🍄🌱🌿⭐️✨

✨ New Story Reveal: The Door in the Dandelions ✨

Hello, dear tea drinkers and tale lovers!

I’m thrilled to share a sneak peek into my newest fantasy project — a story that’s been quietly unfolding in my notebooks and finally wants to leap onto the page.

At its heart: This is a tale about a secret society of Fae living among us — hidden in plain sight, their magic woven into the cracks of our everyday world. And at the center of it all is a girl named Elara, who stumbles (or perhaps is led) into their world after a strange encounter in the woods. But Elara’s connection to the Fae may go deeper than chance — and she’s about to discover that some doors open for a reason.

Expect shimmering magic, ancient rivalries, shadowy bargains, and a heroine who’s about to find out what she’s really made of.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing: 🍃 Early chapters and exclusive scenes 🍃 Character art and moodboards 🍃 Behind-the-scenes peeks at worldbuilding and Fae lore 🍃 My messy notes and inspirations

Thank you for being here at Tales and Teacups — your support means the world, and I can’t wait to bring you along on this adventure. 💛

Stay tuned, and keep an eye on the shadows… sometimes they’re watching back. 😉

P.S.

“‘Nothing is safe from you. If I were to court a girl who lived on an iceberg in the middle of the ocean, sooner or later— probably sooner— I’d look up to see you swooping overhead on a broomstick. In fact, by now I’d be disappointed in you if I didn’t see you.’

‘Are you off to the iceberg today?’” Sophie retorted. Diana Wynne Jones, Howl’s Moving Castle

Flowers are starting to bloom, and it is a great time to get out your spring quilts! 📖🌼 This cheerful quilt has lovely bundles of flowers. A great addition to any flower shop, or moving castle.

Today’s @owlcrate @OCthenest @words.and.whimsy Cooking up Spells photo challenge is A Cauldron You Say? A Story with a Surprise Witch. Sophie is just as surprised as anyone that she is a witch. There is a quiet magic in the little things we do.

You can find this quilt and more, in our Etsy shop at VictoriaGDesigns or www.victoriagleasuredesigns.com 💛

A Rainy Afternoon Spent Reading

Raindrops gently tap against the window, creating a soothing rhythm. You sit on your favorite couch, wrapped in a thick blanket, lost in the pages of a nostalgic novel. A scented candle flickers beside you, filling the air with a calming lavender aroma.

Cozy reading is honestly the best way to spend an afternoon 📖🌱

Do you ever wake up just to breathe in the morning like “yeah, it’s a cinnamon latte, cafe jazz, fuzzy socks, blankets and a cozy book kind of morning”?!

This is my first post on TheStoryTrail, a place where I’ll share my love for books and the stories that shape my days. Every day, I find comfort in the pages I read, and through these posts, I’ll be keeping a journal of my journey.

In the warm glow of a library on a winter afternoon, where the scent of old books mixes with the crisp air outside, I found a special kind of magic. Books, those quiet friends, open up worlds where heroes are made, hearts are healed, and hope shines bright.

Every book holds a secret, every chapter an adventure. The soft rustle of turning pages and the gentle creak of an old chair are the comforting sounds of stories waiting to be discovered.

For those who wander the aisles, running their fingers over the titles, and pause to read the first lines: we share the same wonder.

Libraries aren’t just buildings—they are cozy havens. And books? They are the sparks that warm our hearts in the chill of winter.

Welcome to TheStoryTrail. I can’t wait to share this journey with you.
