{Fairy} Invitations …

“Come faeries, take me out of this dull world,

for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame.”

William Butler Yeats–

Β 

As a little girl – and even as an older girl πŸ˜‰ , I was enthralled with enchantment … I think every child should be dream and imagine and play make believe … so today, the girls and I invited fairies into our home …

Β 

I saw these darling little fairy portals online a few weeks ago and knew we just had to have some in our home … they only open for the wee fairy folk and you can put them anywhere Β – in your garden, in your home … the girls and I put one in each of their bedrooms so the fairies could fly about at night during the quiet and stillness of the evening.Β 

Β 

Β 

Lyla’s door, of course, is purple … (her favorite colour) …

I told Lyla that only the fairies can open the wee doors, but that doesn’t mean she won’t try … πŸ˜‰Β

Β 

Lacey’s door – surprise, surprise – is pink …

Do you see that tiny bead right beside the door? We found it on the floor and she thought it would make a great welcoming gift for the fairies … who knows, maybe the fairies will leave some pixie dust in exchange come the morning…

(We didn’t put up Lucia’s fairy door yet as she having her beloved afternoon nap during this time, but no worries – she too has a pink fairy door of her very own …)

karen Again, you have found an absolutely awesome product!!!! When Meghan lost her front tooth, the tooth fairy left a glass of pink fairy water & it had sparkles in it. I think this door would be awesome with a little fairy dust around it as well. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!

October 9, 2009 - 9:36 am

melissa hansma SOOOO ADORABLE!! My little girl ‘summer’ would just sit there all day waiting for a fairy to come open the door!

October 8, 2009 - 8:07 pm

Claire So sweet, I’m always looking for ways to help Abby keep the magic as long as she can! I’d love one for her b-day. The tooth fairy is visiting a lot these days, so it would give her easy access πŸ™‚

October 8, 2009 - 3:25 pm

Liana Wow…these are so cool, Gillian! They’d make great Christmas presents for a couple of great-nieces of mine.

October 8, 2009 - 1:16 pm

Erika Martin Ok,I need to tell you about my friend Erin. She is the most amazing mother I have ever met. She has 3 beautiful little girls, and she is always trying to find and do things to spark their imaginations. One of her daughters, Amelia, has had a loose tooth for the last 2 months, lol! I just can picture Erin and the girls playing and having so much fun with this cute idea:)
It would just put a smile on my face to know that they are over at their house thinking up magical things with this little wooden door.
Well, keep my fingers crossed:)

October 8, 2009 - 10:19 am

October 7, 2009 - 9:31 pm

Mich Oh Gillian, these fairy doors are just so adorable…I love them and I know a little 5yr old who may just fall in love with fairies and want the Tooth Fairy to visit every night if she had one..maybe it would help her get over her fear and we could move the Tooth Fairy’s visit from the living to her bedroom πŸ™‚ If not, Alexis’s Tinker Bell room would easily welcome a purple fairy door πŸ™‚ Love the pics of the girls as always so blessed with your imagination to entertain them!

October 7, 2009 - 9:25 pm
