Hi, my name is Tami and I live in the Silicon Valley (California) with my husband, who is a part of the internet revolution. I studied fashion design at Otis College of Art & Design and English Lit at UC Santa Barbara. For ten years I was a part of the fast-paced swimwear industry - the later half as a freelance designer. Creativity is still very much a part of my daily life. You can also check out my craft blog, Lemon Tree Tales, for cloth dolls and quilts.

Everything seemed normal, but two years ago we moved into a house that once sat on orchards many, many years ago. There’s one lemon tree remaining. Every once in a while, if I’m very still I catch a fleeting glimpse of a glittering light out of the corner of my eye. At first I thought that it was just a trick of the sun but that little girl in me that refuses to give in to the urge to grow up says that it isn’t a simple trick. If you allow your own little child to look closely, to dare to believe, you’ll soon learn that the orchard fairies still frolic here at 101 Fairy Lane.

This then is the story of one particular fairy, Lemondrop, who’s taken a fancy to me and my husband. She is gracious enough to allow me to share the stories of her and all of her friends and family. So brew a cup of tea, sit back and relax as Lemondrop tells us of her antics.
