Fairy House

 I was experimenting with my fairy houses and this is what I came up with.

Thatched Roof

I found this wooden bug catcher at Michael's and immediately thought, "this is fairy-sized."  I took the screening off and spray painted with a stone texture spray paint.

This little fairy is sleeping in an Altoids tin all snug and comfy.

The thatched roof is actually a coconut line for a flower pot.  It looks like the perfect thatched roof.  Oh, how I want to live in England :) someday  or at least visit.

Do you believe in fairies?

I am working to create a new Fairy Land event and decided to get some inspiration.  Thank you, Pinterest.

It's been a busy weekend.  I have made 14 new Fairy House Making Craft Kits in the shop (above).  These kits are individually, simply, beautifully packages in natural brown boxes and tied with baker's twine.  They would be perfect for that little Tinkerbell, for a fairy themed party, as a gift, or as a party favor.

Fairy House Kit Love

 I have these fairy house making kits in my etsy shop and received this sweet note about one of my sold kits.  Thank you sooo much!

Hi Melanie
I recently ordered a fairy house kit for my young niece and she absolutely loved it. She couldn't wait to get on the phone and tell me all about it. She just knows the fairies will love it! Magical!
Thank you
