i bought two copies, one for myself, which Ive since lost, and one for my daughter. We both have been making fairy houses and furniture ever since!This book was inspirational,we havent copied, more like done our own things.When fairies want yu to make a house for them, they will show yu where they want it, and what they need, often dont need furniture!Just a bowl of milk, and a drop of blood for their animals, and a nice wild area of the garden, with weeds, or wildflowers growing in it.

A Scenic Tour Of Fairy Homes
21 July 2007
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have a love of Fairies and one day while searching for all things Fairy on the internet, I discovered Fairy Houses; little dwellings for your yard and gardens for your family fairies to reside in. Of course I was immediately taken with the little homes constructed of materials found in nature; I wanted some and bad. That's when I discovered most of the ones I enjoyed that were already built cost about $200 - $300... Forget that!
Then one day I was searching on Amazon and discovered this book, Fairy Houses...Everywhere. This charming little picture book contains over 50 different colorful examples of hand made fairy homes. There is very little text, just brief introductions to pictures here and there. The pictures themselves are enchanting. These little homes are so inviting any fairy would be happy to reside in one.
There are houses built into trees, on the beach, in the water, snow and even in pumpkins and gourds. Some of the houses are intricate and have a lot of detail; others are wonderfully uncomplicated, but still appealing. There is a home for every season and every yard.
When this book arrived my 4 yr old son and I sat down to look through it. We made a list of features we liked and what we'd want our fairy house to look like. So far we have decided our house needs a swing, a ladder, some fairy boats and furniture made of sea shells. Armed with a large bucket, my son and I went for a walk last night to gather the first pieces of nature to use to build our fairy house together.
I admit a good portion of my family members think I have lost my mind, but my son and I are very excited about our project. This book doesn't contain how to instructions, but gives you enough examples of houses, at all levels of building skill, that I am sure most everyone will be able to create a fairy home. We hope to have our Fairy folk moved into their new home sometime in the next two weeks. When it's all said and done my son and I will have created something beautiful and a little magical together; that alone is worth the price of the book.

Creating Memories with your Children
23 Sep 2006
Format:Hardcover
My daughter has always been interested in fairy houses since we first watched Kristen's Fairy House. They are delightful little creations that she would spend hours making in the back yard, or we would go on walks and find natural things for her to use in her designs. She is now 8, and still very much into creating unique homes for the fairies. I feel so lucky to see her whimiscal artistic side bloom. She is even creating seasonal fairy house centerpieces for us to decorate our home with. I will always treasure these times with her, and the magical memories that we are making. Sorry if I am long winded. Getting to the point, this book has GORGEOUS photographs of all kinds of fairy houses, in all seasons. It is an inspiration to behold. My daughter and I love to look at the pictures over and over. The authors brought up a really nice fundraiser that they started by having everyone they knew in their neighborhood make fairy houses. What an interesting and unusual idea! Next house tour to raise money for school, can be fairy houses! This book offers the person that would like to get started making houses, lots of ideas, or is a sweet read for the person that just wants to appreciate little bits of beauty. A nice addition to Kristen's Fairy House Video/DVD, and sweet memories for family times together.
