🧚‍♀️ Scarecrows & Fairy Tales 🧚‍♂️
In the heart of the Lyn Valley, oh what a sight—
Fairy-tale scarecrows, a pure delight!
From straw-filled knights to sleepy bears,
And princesses rocking wild straw hair!

They’ve leapt from the pages, stitched with charm,
Bringing a touch of magic to field and farm.
Snap a photo, have a laugh or two—
There’s a fairy-tale friend waiting just for you!

The Scarecrows are here.
The Big, The Small, The Magnificent,
Look Up, Look Down,
They are everywhere
