Rachel's Fairy Houses

Ah...Fairies. Who doesn't love fairies? Magical, ethereal, enchanting, beautiful creatures of light.
I love Fairies and all they represent.
Back in 2001, my husband and I watched a movie called "Fairytale: A True Story", which is all about the famous Cottingley photographs taken in the early 20th Century, and the two little girls who took them. In the movie the two girls build this incredible Fairy House. When I saw that I turned to my husband and said, " I want to build one...", and well, that was the beginning.
I live here in the Pacific Northwest, and my mother has property in the woods. As a young teenage girl, I spent many hours on her 40 acres of wooded land wandering and dreaming of fairies. I have loved them and all things enchanted since before I can remember.
Every house that I make has a story behind it. As I am making it I think of the fairy that might live there, what she likes to do, collect, her colors etc., and all that comes out in the final house. No two are exactly alike and each house has a distinct personality of its own. I think I fall in love with every one of them !
