Encatada
Do you have a favorite word? Enchant or enchanted is one of mine. In Portuguese it would be 'encatada' - like magic it is said .....encatada....
I fell in love with the word due to a board game I played growing up: The Enchanted Forest. Keys, frogs with crowns, castles, dense and endless pines, sunbeams, bags of gold, rings...it was a great game and it always took me to another world, one that I wanted to be apart of. I could almost smell the pine needles on the damp forest floor.
I don't remember the last time I saw the game - my parents don't own it anymore. It was too worn out I suppose. Hmm.

ReplyDeleteI wish I knew who the artist is - I would by a print in a heartbeat. Silly me for not keeping that information.
ReplyDeleteI have looked for that game. They sell the old version on eBay. Maybe I'll get it for my birthday and we can play. It's expensive, though.
