Finished Fairy Dollhouse

I've put the finishing touches 
on the fairy dollhouse. 

 I captured a second fairy; an easy scoop
into my net when she ventured too close to
 the wisteria, that vines along the back porch 
rails.  No doubt she was drawn to the scent 
of the blooms that hang below.

 

The wee girls recognized one another immediately.
They look so much alike, they could be sisters.

The little cabin has been a buzz with their
 high pitched chatter as they've spent the day 
exploring their new home.  

The roof quilt will be a comfy spot for 
some star gazin' and listenin' to the rhythmic 
songs of the crickets, or moon bathin' after a 
late night dip in the crik'.

The windows provided a full hour 
of sheer amusement.

A tight squeeze!

I saw lots of jumping on the beds.  I think there
 was a squabble over who would get the softest 
mattress, until they realized they were the same.
(Now, I'm sure they're sisters!) 

 I was relieved to see them pet the ladybugs & feed 
them watercress from their lunchtime sandwiches.

What's that ole' bed time sayin'?
"Sleep tight & don't let the bed bugs bite!"
 
After a peek in every nook, cranny, cabinet &
cupboard, it was time fora  cup of sassafras tea.  
They were so busy chatting away, they let the
 kettle boil dry.....twice!

They took flight down the bluff toward the Swan Creek.
When they returned, they placed a hag stone by
the front door.  A sure sign they intend to stay.

Porch sittin' is a popular pastime in the Ozarks, especially 
if it's rainin'.  The perfect setting for a game of checkers
or just relaxin' and countin' up your many blessins'.

The hubs and I do lots of late evenin' porch sittin'.

The fairies and their home will soon be packed up
for a short move to live with Miss Alyssa, my
step sister Melinda's, grand daughter.  I want to thank
my other step sister, Kathleen, for donating the barn 
wood for the project, from an old barn on their family 
property.  Alyssa's mother is a school teacher &
her father works for the Missouri Conservation Dept.
They have a love of nature, so the fairies will no 
doubt feel welcome in their home.

Ozark fairies are delicate things, just in case they 

aren't sturdy enough for play,  I captured a couple
city fairies running loose in the isles of the Dollar Store.
Fingers crossed they can adjust to a rustic country life!

 

 Blogger friends are very special! 

Thank you ladies for sticking with me through another

lengthy project.  I am always encouraged by your

faithful support and your kind gracious comments. 

I wish you all could come and play with me!!
