We sell Fairy Doors, Gnome Homes, Hobbit Holes & more...
Welcome to GardenFairies.ca
The fairies we discovered in our backyard have inspired us to create some magical fairy doors for you, to help welcome them to your gardens, as well!
Please browse through the images and descriptions in the gallery below,
to get a sense of the different styles of fairy doors we sell…

Each of these doors are hand-made one-of-a-kind doors, crafted from up-cycled wood and saved branches.
Garden Fairy Doors
Garden Fairy Doors are more stylish, made with found objects and frequently, brightly decorated. These doors are brightly colored, and adorned with whimsical shiny accents. The roofs are (mostly) made from split branches. (Apparently Garden Fairies are both industrious and resourceful!)
Woodland Fairy Doors are smaller than the average fairy door, as they are tiny doorways carved into sections of tree trunks and branches. The architecture seems to follow and favor the shapes created by Mother Nature. They are particularly fond of pinecone roofs, but as far as color, and adornment – there doesn’t seem to be a rhyme or reason!
The fabric flower pins are handmade by Lorie, with help from the fairies! The brooches have layers of delicate fabrics, including organza, chiffon, tulle, netting, satin, silk. The center is a cluster of seed beads and yarn. No two are alike! There’s a metal brooch clasp attached on the back.
Gnome Homes are different, made from rough-hewn branches that have beautiful curves and arches made by Mother Nature. These one-of-a-kind doors are made from wood, but most are more earthy colors, and man-made objects are rare, as they seem to favor more practical hand-made items… such as a planter, mailbox, or a dragonfly house.
Hobbit Holes… the rarest of them all! Made from magnificent branches, the Hobbits seem to like mixing brightly-colored earth tones and the natural beauty of wood. These doors are ALWAYS round.
Some fairies are not the outdoorsy types. we’re sure they come and go, but they are mostly homebodies who prefer the warmth of a cozy bookshelf, or tucked behind a potted fern. These Indoor Doors are a little more sophisticated, elegant and ornate.
Garden Fairies have taken up residence in one of our planters, with a coffee pot home, a wishing well, and a tree fort. Because we own Haute Note – a personalized stationery company, we were MOST excited to see that even magical creatures are a fan of handwritten correspondence! See the little letters in their mail box? Perhaps a note from a Gnome back home? A letter from a Leprechaun? A Hi Howdy from a Hobbit? A postcard from a Pixie? We can only wonder if snails actually deliver the Snail Mail!
Take a peek at the video below, and see how creative they’ve been, building their home and accessories from found objects, using twigs, branches, bark, bottle caps, game pieces, wine corks, buttons, old keys and more!
We offer a number of pages, hints and links to understanding, communicating with, and helping your garden fairies, gnomes and pixies settle into your yard, and bring a sense of wonder, whimsy and imagination to your surroundings!
