Redwood Park in Surrey
Redwood Park in Surrey has a secret. In a clearing, in the middle of the park, you can find a bunch of Fairy Houses! On Radio Station CKNW, a spot by Niki Reitmayer alerted us to the magic, in the middle of the forest! Enjoy! If you aren’t sure where Redwood Park is,…
Read MoreA Fairy Letter in the Mail
Hola from Costa Rica! Well, the nights turned cold. The days were rainy and windy. It was time for Violet Prettypetal to head for warmer climes. So magically the fairy door in our little neighbor’s yard disappeared a few weeks ago, and Violet was on her way to her next adventure. She found herself a…
Read MoreFairy Bowls
These will bowl you over! What are they, you ask? They’re Fairy Bowls. And this COULD be one of the easiest fairy craft projects so far! I figured I owed you something a little simpler after the Painstaking Pinwheel Project… Find yourself some hazelnut caps or acorn caps. Fall is here, so you should soon…
Read MoreFairy Pinwheel – This Really Blows!
This Totally Blows! A Tiny Fairy Pinwheel, that is! I’ve been pondering this project for a month or more, trying to figure out just exactly how to do it…. I wanted it to twirl, like a real one, if you blew on it. I’m warning you now, this project is for the crazy crafty type.…

Read MoreFairy Treasure Hunt – Year 2
Last month I told you about the treasure hunt the fairies created a few years back, for our little friend next door. She loved it SO much, that we did it again last summer.

Read MoreFairy Money
Last summer, I shared the story of the lucky penny our sweet little neighbor left for Petal and Thorn, and the itsy bitsy lucky fairy penny, they left in return. We told her this lucky fairy penny was strictly for good luck and that our real money was shells. I just happened to have tiny…
Read MoreStringing You Along
Last Summer, our little neighbor left a note telling her fairies what she liked to do… Soccer, gymnastics, rollerblading. She asked what Pansy and Poppy liked to do. They said they liked to skip rope – and were VERY good at it! (We also told her we liked to swim – stay tuned for the…
