Fairy Garden Winners

In the darkness of the night, it returned.

The fairy house. It disappeared shortly after it was discovered to be in disrepair, but it has returned to its cozy little corner on the patio.

It is sporting a newly repaired roof and a fresh coat of paint. Once winter completely releases its grasp on us all, the "grass" will turn a bright shade of green, the trees will spring to life, and a few annuals will find their way into the nooks and crannies. The magic will fully return.

It took Alexis two days to notice that the fairy house had re-appeared. She did so on a sunny day filled with fun. She and several of her friends were outside playing when she suddenly tossed aside a jump rope, ran up the stairs, and drug me down to the patio to show me what had happened.

"Momma! Look! The fairies came back! And they fixed the house!" she breathlessly shouted.

And all was right with the fairy world. At least, for that day. It seems the castle recently disappeared, most likely so it too can be repaired.

An interesting little project grew out of my recent post about the fairy garden and the damaged house. As I was assembling the pieces and parts for the giveaway, Alexis happened upon my mess and had an idea. "Momma, can I put together some fairy kits to sell?" she asked. Her mission to earn money for cheerleading is a gift that keeps on giving. It might be my most favorite thing ever, to be honest.

Alexis took on the project and saw it all the way through. She did some shopping to fill in some gaps. She laid out her displays and then photographed them. She sat with me as I uploaded the photos and descriptions to Etsy. She learned about cost and profit and a little about super basic accounting. She's ready. Have a look, if you want.

And if you were wondering if you won a fairy garden kit, it just so happens that I can answer that. The winners are:

Emile

Melissa Munson

Bisbink

That only took me entirely too long to post. Sorry about that (I was short a few things and wanted to grab them before I contacted winners.). If you are one of those three people, please drop me an email at burghbaby (at) gmail.com so I can get your kit out to you. Please include your address in your email.
