Our new fairy resident

So remember I told you that scuttlebutt in Fairyland had it that Grace would be getting something wonderful from them for Christmas? Well she did!



Misty, her very own fairy, has built a door in the wall right next to the fairy garden, making our house her house too! She and Grace have been exchanging letters daily and Misty signs her letters with glittery footprints. Such excitement!!!! Although Pawpaw built the door frame for Misty, when he left it was only wood. Over the course of the month, Misty sneaked into my craft supplies and decorated it just the way she likes it. Then she cleverly hung it up on Christmas Eve... we did wonder where the tiny hammering sound was coming from. She is an ingenious little thing!! She and Grace are already discussing plans for another garden.

  2. Lee,

    The framework and door were from a craft store. It was a doll house door and the scroll trim was just fancied up b/c my dad is a carpenter. We used wood glue and a simple one wouldn't take long to build.

    I bet if you build one, they will come. Once you have a basic frame up, they seem to be happy to decorate it and make it unique to them. They flock to people who make their houses fairy-friendly. :D

    If you don't have time or interest in making a door, I bet a miniature plant with some fairy-sized furniture would attract a garden fairy.

    Have fun!!!
