I was so delighted to discover our new house guest, so I quickly made her a modest little home (after all, she did need a proper place to hang her hat).
It appeared that our new winged friend was so thrilled with her new home that bean sprouts popped up out of the ground and glitter was not only found up and down her aqua side walk, it was also found on my pillow!
Word quickly got out among the local wee folk that we had constructed a magical fairy dwelling that had delighted our new house guest…it was not long until we had to make room for more winged creatures!
We started by building on to their existing home by adding another level. We then built another little (gn)home across the aqua blue sidewalk (which was apparently a favorite place for dancing)…..a fence was also built for the fairies to safely collect and store their treasures (can you see some of their treasures?)….one morning we found my son’s tooth in there!!
Our new house guests quickly made themselves at home and we were thrilled to live among such magical creatures despite the evening mischief making…
After a few months of moonlight fairy festivals, we had to formally invite three gnomes to live among our gardens due to the increase of nocturnal activity! Their job is to look after the fairies and to keep Lady Luna away. Lady Luna is more than just my cat…oh she is much, much more…. Do you see how GORGEOUS she is…and she is as smart and fabulous as she is gorgeous ……the fairies do not realize Lady Luna just wants to play and are fearful of her curious ways! So the gnomes keep Lady Luna away from the fairies.

A year later, we have increased our fairy garden into a bustling fairy village! I am always finding secret nooks in my garden to transform into magical miniture dwellings..
...and since our occupancy is quite full, I also delight in making fairy gardens for others. My fairies are adventurous spirits who are always willing to relocate with the promise of the occasional sugar cube...
To enhance the energy of our magical world, it is equally important for me to create and nourish a whimsical and delightful environment for our animal friends as well as children who still believe in the power of enchantment!
