During our nature time today, my daughter set about collecting all sorts of nature items to make a woodland fairy house!  She had the most marvelous time using her imagination on this project.  I told her in order for it to be proper, she must use all natural materials, and it must have all the proper things a comfortable home might have such as a table, bed, etc.  And then she set about working for over an hour designing and putting it together!

She was careful to choose a very comfortable spot for her fairy house, nestled in amongst the roots of a large tree on the hill by the creekside.  The living area is protected by small sticks all around the perimeter.

In the center, you'll see her kitchen table, fashioned from small sticks stuck in the mud, and a bark table top.  Her table is decorated with little, dark pieces of bark for plates and torn leaves for salad.  Straight behind there, you'll notice hanging ferns which she attached to the wood with mud.  This is the clothes changing area.

Next, we go to the comfy couch area.  The couch is made with a bed of soft green moss with a leaf for a cover and the tops of four Philadelphia Fleabane wildflowers for pillows.  And two beautiful ferns in the background for visual appeal!

And to the right of the home, nestled in amongst the tree root, you will find the bedroom.  Equipped with soft moss for a bed and a leaf for a blanket and a lilac sprig for a pillow.  And a lovely stone vanity (attached with mud) and a bark mirror.  And one tiny acorn cap hat to wear.

And last, but certainly not least...one must have a fairy broom in order to sweep up all that dust.

Pretty nice place if I may say.  Hmm, I think I'd might like to live there.
