Tooth Fairy Money

Everyone knows that the tooth fairy leaves you money in exchange for your tooth.  The amount she leaves depends on how white your tooth is :), So if you get paper money from the Tooth Fairy then
you must be really looking after your teeth!

Look what the tooth fairy left under my sons pillow! A E5.00 note stamped with Gold glittering fairy dust in the shape of a tooth!WoW....

 

 

See it does pay to look after your teeth!

Precious Fairy Sized Parcels

We all know how adorable our miniature Fairy letters are! We though this week wouldn't it be adorable to have some fairy sized parcels!!!  You can either make them and leave them at the door for the kids to find or why not pop one in an envelope and send it in the post and brighten up someones day!!!

So simple to make here's all you need:

The tray from a matchbox,
Some String,
A brown paper bag, or I just used a brown envelope,
Sellotape,
A little newspaper,
A piece of paper,
A pen,
A registered post sticker from your local post office.


Here's a few Ideas of what you can send or enclose in your Fairy Sized parcels:

A sugar snap pea - written on a piece of paper 'We're Two Peas in a pod'
A Button - Written on a piece of paper 'You're as cute as a button'
A hard boiled sweet - written on a piece of paper 'Home Sweet Home'/or 'Im sweet on you'
A love heart shape & a miniature key - written on a piece of paper 'You hold the key to my heart'
A Star shape - written on a piece of paper ' Your my lucky Star'/'Wish upon a Star'
A miniature compass - written on a piece of paper 'I'm lost without you'
One Fairy light off of a string of twinkle lights - written on a piece of paper 'You Fairy light up my life'
A miniature Globe - written on a piece of paper 'You are my world'
A candle from a birthday cake - written on a piece of paper 'Happy Birthday - Make a wish'
An eraser - written on a piece of paper 'I'm sorry, I wish I could erase the past and right my wrongs'
A cut out or sticker of a sun - written on a piece of paper 'You are my sunshine'
A spring coil - written on a piece of paper 'You put a spring in my step'

Gosh so many possibilities..............

- Decide what you are going to send, crumple up a bit of the newspaper and line the tray of the matchbox.

- Write your special little note.

- Place your trinket and your little note inside the newspaper.

 

- wrap using the brown paper, secure folds with sellotape.

 

- Tie some string around your parcel.

 

- Cut out the little stickers from your 'Registered Post" stickers,

Now in the tiniest handwriting you can do:

- In the top left hand corner of the parcel write the name of the lucky recipient, directly under that    write the city where they live, followed by the two letter country code.  On the one I left outside our Fairy door for the kids I wrote in the top left had corner "Fairy Door, Fireplace, Dublin IRE"

- In the bottom right hand corner write a lil something sweet like:  A little special something for a little special someone. You can be as creative as you like!

- Then just stick the little stickers you cut off the "Registered Post" stickers to your parcel and that's it.

You can pop it in a standard envelope and post it... What a lovely thing to find in your post!! or leave it outside your fairy door for the kids to find how adorable a parcel all the way from Fairyland :),

DIY - A FAIRY GARDEN

Being summer, the kids and I at the weekend we thinking we would make a fairy garden for our fairy "Fleur" :),


So simple but so sweet and the kids had so much fun collecting a deciding what to put into it.


Here's what we used to make our fairy garden, you can go on a little nature walk with the kids and get them to forage for the pieces to make the fairy garden.

All you need is some flower petals, Live moss ( we found a bunch on an old  tree stump) some pretty stones or sea shells, some decorations (we used sprinkles) and lastly a good pinch of fairy dust to make it magical!!!


Using a glass tumbler, old candle jar or even the end of a clear plastic bottle. Arrange the garden in layers, first place your sea shells to cover the bottom of your container, next pop in the moss, Easy as! To decorate it  place your dried flowers neatly around the moss and sprinkle with sprinkle shapes and fairy dust.  Your Fairy Garden just needs a few drops of water each day to keep it growing....and best to keep it in a sunny place like a window ledge.


Much to the kids surprise the following day our Fairy Fleur left them a little note thanking them for making her such a wonderful fairy garden :), She also left them a tiny closed clam shell, with a tag placed beside it that said "Plant ME" The kids carefully opened the tiny shell and inside was some green moss a blue bean and a sprinkling of gold fairy dust.  Straight away the kids planted the little blue bean in the Fairy Garden. Their imaginations were running wild  thinking about what might grow! Jay was convinced a beanstalk was going to magically appear in the garden )Too cute!!!

On the first morning look what grew in our Fairy Garden....

A wooden stick!

This had the kids baffled! When the skipped down the stairs on day four this is what they found...

A Pixie Pop Had grown, Yes just one!!! gosh didn't our fairy know we had two kids!!! much to their disappointment they had to share.... :),

Fairy Wishes

If you had a fist full of Fairy Wishes, What would you wish for?

St. Patrick's Day Fun!

Gosh it really has been a busy few weeks!!! Finally Spring is in full swing!!! Yea,  I'm sure your fairies like ours have been busily blooming & painting  flowers in the garden :0),


Cindy a wonderful lady from America sent us this wonderful photo/email. Thinking it was too sweet not to be shared Cindy has kindly allowed us to share it with you all :

"Hope you had a wonderful St Patrick's Celebration! The leprechaun door was such a magical hit here at our house on St Patrick's morning! My tradition, since I was a child, was to leave your shoes outside your bedroom door the night before St Patrick's Day and the leprechaun would leave little chocolate treats and coins. It's one of my favourite childhood memories from my Grandmother McDevitt. I've passed it on, of course, to my children. We have tons of shamrocks/clovers that grow around our house every year and I would always tell my boys that leprechauns were nearby leaving them for us for good luck. So...now one has moved in with us and it's very exciting! I'm sending along a couple of photos - he lives under the staircase :)"

It's just amazing to think that we were able to add a little extra magic to Cindy's St. Patrick's day Tradition.
We just love to hear all your fairy news, you can get in touch by emailing us at:
