Fairy bread...

Fairy bread which is one of my favourite memories from my childhood. A poem which was written about or before fairy bread below:

Stevenson, Robert Louis (1850–1894).  A Child’s Garden of Verses and Underwoods.  1913.

37. Fairy Bread

COME up here, O dusty feet!
Here is fairy bread to eat.
Here in my retiring room,
Children, you may dine
On the golden smell of broom	5
And the shade of pine;
And when you have eaten well,
Fairy stories hear and tell.

Fairy bread as all young Australians and young at heart will know that the white bread with butter covered with hundred's and thousands is one of Australia's iconic food's.

'Hundreds and Thousands, Sprinkles, Nonpareils, Jimmies.
Small round balls of brightly colored sugar used as decorations on cakes, cookies, trifles and other desserts. Their use dates back at least to the early 19th century'.

I choose to make a fairy bread triangle cushion for that very reason, to bring back that feeling of wonder and memories of past childhood parties and alike.
