Fairy Log House Playscape

 This one might just be my favorite Playscape to date.

 I was dreaming up a new castle play mat when I saw this brown felt rolled like a log. An idea sparked.

This wool felt playscape is a landscape of play possibilities. 12 inches around, the hollow log house is all hand-stitched. Ivy is climbing up the side with shades of purple trumpet flowers blossoming. A stone path leads to the front entry. Mushrooms sprout up in the grass. A small vegetable garden is tucked away behind the hollow log house. It's whimsical.

New Fairy House Making Kits

New Fairy House Making Kits craft kits are now in my Etsy store

www.etsy.com/melanieshanks

They make great birthday party favors or gifts.  The special thing about these is...it's a craft kit, so kids can make whatever they want.  It's an artist expression.  They can make their fairy house look any way they want.  I'd love to see what your child creates with these kits.

New in the Shop

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
