I met you, Tracey, at BEA...Sunday afternoon and fell in love with your Fairy Houses book....and bought one for my neice for her birthday. I just wanted to report to you that she LOVED it and after reading it to her as a bed time story....FIRST thing when she woke up, she wanted to make fairy houses.

We were both visiting my mom, her grandma, at the time...who donated a special "secret garden" to us for the project. IT WAS PURE MAGIC.....we made fairy houses.....and more fairy houses.....and had to keep checking on them for days to see if the fairies came. Fairy dust magically appeared at our fairy house doors.....delighting us completely and causing many more hours of fairy house construction.

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for such an awesome book and awesome project. We plan to build more every time we visit grandma's house.....and probably a few will find there way into our own back yards too! I got some really cute jpg pictures, if you'd like to see.

Hello, As a small girl my family and I vacationed in Maine on Monhegan Island. It was there that we started building fairy houses. We called them elf houses then. My Mother thought of it, from the title of that patch of forest, the Enchanted Woods. As we would walk along the trails, we'd often stop to build these little houses. That was twenty eight years ago. I just found your video in our town library, and am amazed at the changes on the island, but I am glad that children still build the houses. I think it's neat that there is a sign now, directing them to use only natural materials. I watched the video with my two children, and my mother. We plan to make a trip out there next summer to share the magic with the next generation. Thank you for reminding me, Bobbi Double

Hello. My two sons and I met you at Poofberry's last Saturday. We were also with a few other women and four girls. Our large group separated into two smaller groups to build fairyhouses. We are wondering when the pictures you took will be on the web site. Alex and Joey and I went out today to enjoy this gorgeous fall day to collect things and build a fairyhouse in our own back yard. We are excited to visit it tomorrow morning to see if anyone visited. We really enjoy your book. Thank you for showing us about fairyhouses.

Dear Tracy,
After seeing your video "Kristen's Fairy House" my granddaughter Mary Clara and I built not 1, but 4 fairy houses in Wetherbe Woods in Castine, Maine. What fun!! Mary Clara is expecting a baby brother or sister in September, so she was inspired to build a nursery for a fairy's baby. Thank you,

I found out about you (Kristen's Fairy House) a couple of years ago through Mothering Magazine, while we were temporarily living in San Francisco. To our surprise and delight, the first thing our older daughter wanted to do upon our return to our home in Japan last year was to build a fairy house. Aya and her father built the house together last summer, and I think the fairies must have moved in, as this spring we discovered a ring of small purple flowers had grown around the house! We are off to Maine (where I am from), where there are lots of fairies waiting for us! Thank you again, Maura Murphy

Absolutely adore Kristen's Fairy House. Your stuff is so good. Please don't stop. Please keep going. Please do more of this quality wonderful stuff. Please continue this good work because I don't think anyone else is doing it as well as you people. We need your videos. We have had such enormous fun with KFH video and our granddaughters could hardly wait for that video to finish the first time they saw it, they wanted to begin immediately making fairy houses and they have done so non-stop ever since when there's an opportunity."

We found your video at the library and have watched it several times each day. My backyard is now filled with fairy houses that my two daughters (age 3, 4) have created. My heart leaps with joy as I see their eyes and minds light up as they create these magical creations. I hope for more of your wonderful work! I am also glad to finally be able to order my own copy!
Sincerely, a very pleased mother, Stephanie, Salt Lake City, Utah

Just a note to say how much we have thoroughly enjoyed the video Kristen's Fairy House. My son Travis and my wife and I have watched it over and over. Travis also shared the video with his Grandmother from Texas and now she has shared the experience of building fairy houses with her other grandsons in Tx. She still talks about fairy house today and always asks our son if he has built any lately. Every time we go camping or a walk in the woods we always build a fairy house out of what nature provides. Thanks again for a pleasant and entertaining experience. We are also looking forward to purchasing the new book Fairy Houses. P.S. When I locate the pictures of our latest fairy houses we have built I will forward them to you.
Leaves & Kisses, Mark, Karen & Travis

Dear Great White Dog,
A friend bought your video for her niece and they built fairy houses for a weekend 'thing to do'. I've been landscaping a five acre area around a one acres pond in an all 'natural environment' theme and got the idea to do 'hidden' fairy houses and such in the landscape. It was purely coincidental that my friend shared Kristen's Fairy House with me. I've known her forty years and did not know she was into fairy things. She loaned me her video, which totally changed my concept of fairy houses and what to do with the landscaping. I don't know how she found you, but she raved on your site. Let me know when the book is out.

Dear Great White Dog,
My grandchildren Emily and Gary and I built fairy houses this summer while they were visiting from Indonesia. We collected pine cones, bark and other items. We used an old nest that had been a in a bush in my front yard for years. We added shells we collected at the beach and left "food" for the fairies in the nest.

Dear Great White Dog,
My daughter and I just finished watching Kristen's Fairy House and we loved it. What a wonderful production. So we want to order Sheep Crossing. I am a former New Englander and a weaver and spinner so this video sounds perfect. Thank you so much.
