Fairy Houses - 2016 Throwback!

Social distancing seems like a good excuse to bring back one of our favorite programs we haven't had since 2016 -
FAIRY HOUSES!

Tracy Kane's FairyHouses Website


Greatly inspired by the Fairy Houses set of books by author Tracy Kane, fairy houses and villages have popped up all over the world in the last two decades.

In Maine, they've been a tradition for much longer, with places like Mackworth & Monhegan Islands complete with trails lined with houses.


If you're participating in our Fairy Village on July 22 (weather permitting), check out some of these pictures from our 2016 event for inspiration. We like to follow the rules of only using found objects, flowers and leaves that have already fallen, etc. but some of our friends added a few decorative touches that we can't complain about. We also made 'fairy doors' from popsicle sticks as a craft that day.
