I made this little fairy house at the beginning of the summer. It was a lot of fun. I used a small bird house from the dollar store and covered it with bark and pine cone pieces, sticks and a sea shell. It was fun and looks real sweet! I still would like to make a second using white birch. I keep this on my window alter for the house fae to use. I'm not sure that it would hold up in the weather outdoors. Also, I noticed 2 more fairy rings outside! I just figured I'd do a little house blessing for it!
