As the story goes, if Faeries, sometimes spelled ‘fairies’, build a door into or in your home it will be filled with love and happiness. We guess we were like the old cobbler’s Elves and just helped the Faeries along a bit. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Here is the Southwestern style door that we made for D’s sister. We also made one of these ones for ourselves.<\/p>\n
The doors are small (why would they need to be big?!) at about 8″ high and 7″ wide. <\/p>\n
This one is finished in adobe and has leather hinges, a cool rug, cantina lights and cactus. <\/p>\n
For easy access in and out of your home the Faeries usually ‘build’ their doors at the base of a wall like seen here:<\/p>\n
We also made a couple of Asian style Faerie doors that feature a decorative door frame, gold hinges and door knob, a bamboo mat and a gold ‘window’ frame.<\/p>\n
We made a couple of ‘hobbit’ style Faerie doors too. These ones feature a carved door, cool rug and a globe glass window!<\/p>\n
These were a lot of fun to make and we will be making more of them\u2026 er’, I mean, the Faeries will be making more of them… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Oh, btw, if you make or put one of these doors in your home be prepared for a bit of Faerie fun. Soon after building these our tape measure went missing and our shop scissors were moved. It seems that they like pencils too because since making them a half dozen of our pencils have gone missing. The strangest thing though is that several times when we went into the shop we found the radio on a different station than when we left. Seems the faeries like Hip Hop\u2026 go figure. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Back to the shop… <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
