30 Days of Creativity 2011, Day 10

Today I was out in the suburbs and went to a different Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts and got everything in the picture below (except the cork background) for less than three dollars total. Excellent!

I’ll bet you think that little wooden structure is a decorative bird house, don’t you? You are WRONG. This is a Fairy Roost.

Fairies are so light and quick that grown-ups can’t see them. And though fairies prefer to live outside among the flowers and trees, children know that if you make a cozy house for them, they’ll visit for a while. When you’re lying in bed, if you’re very, very quiet, you can hear them laugh and sing inside the Fairy Roost. And if you fall asleep to those magical sounds, you will have only sweet dreams.

Thanks to Lynne for the small section of sequined trim that became the stems and flowers in the Fairy Roost garden.
