Hello friends!
Sweet November's first digital release for July is a Vault opening that takes us back to 2011 when we first introduced the Summer Fruit Fairies. In the enchanted gardens of Sweet November Land the most delicious fruits and berries you have ever tasted grow. These special sweets are tended by a dedicated group of little fairies known by all as the Flitter Friends.
The first Summer fruit Flitter Friend that we come across as we carefully make our way through the brambles is miss Blackberry. As you may have guessed, Blackberry is in charge of growing the biggest and juiciest blackberries you have ever seen. In fact none of them are deemed fit to eat until they have grown bigger than she is! This task is not all work and no play... not by a long shot! Blackberry has so much fun zipping through the berry patch weaving the perfect tangle of briers so that each and every berry gets just the right amount of sunshine. And if you look real close you can even make out different shapes that Blackberry gets the vines to create... she is quite the artist!
Just beyond the thorny vines of the blackberry patch are strawberry fields as far as the eye can see. The sweet scent of the tiny blossoms and jewel like red berries fill the air... take a deep breath... ahhhhh, delicious! A subtle movement amongst the plants catches your eye and suddenly miss Strawberry is flitting about around your feet in a joyful little dance. She may look like she is playing but Strawberry takes great care in turning each berry to ripen just so in the sunshine and instruct the bees on which blossoms are ready to be pollinated. Because she is such a sweetie, Strawberry is very generous in sharing her delectable fruit with anyone who visits the enchanted gardens. And if you bring some shortcakes and cream to share in return, you will have made a friend for life.
Beyond the strawberry fields stands a lush orchard of cherry trees. Every limb is bejeweled with plump and juicy cherries shining in the sunlight. Little miss Cherry fairy is flitting from branch to branch making sure that each piece of precious fruit is picked at the height of its ripeness... no sooner, no later. She knows that it is this attention to detail that helps her bake the best cherry pies in all of Sweet November Land.
