Snapshots & Letters from Fairy Houses Fans!

My name is Amy, and I was searching the web for info on fairy houses. See, I am in 8th grade, and I LOVE to build fairy houses. Right now, my big project is building a community around the base of a clump of trees. I also have a tip for other builders: sea shells are a wonderful resource, because of the varied shapes and sizes.
I also want to thank whoever this should be directed to, because I really like the site. Well, thats all for now!

Dear Tracy Kane,
My mom and dad and I are going to visit the fairy houses on Monhegan Island this summer. We are also going to see the play in Portland Maine! We love your books and video too. Here is a picture of one of the houses we have built in our yard. Since the picture, we have added much more to the house and have also built several more around our yard. Thank you for giving us such a magical activity our whole family can enjoy together!

Love Abigail and Sam Winslow

Hi,
My name is Katie and I am on the front page of your website, under the "spotlight on fan mail". My mom just bought me one of your fairy hats and I love it!! I took it to school for show and tell, and all my friends wanted it, but I am not giving it away! I am moving to a new house and have already made a fairy house in the woods out back..I will send pictures soon. I think you need to have fairy house t-shirts too, I would buy one!
Thanks for your wonderful stories, and my cool hat!

love, Katie Hennessey

Dear Tracy,
I am 6 years old and I build a fairy house every summer! This winter, my mom found the book "Fairy Houses" and read it to me. I loved it!! Now I want the other books and the video!
Here is a picture of me and the fairy house I made last summer. (I didnt pick these flowers, thats a no-no..they had fallen over and walked on by my dog, so I used them in my house. This year I have shells that we picked up at the beach over the winter, I cant wait to use them!

Sincerely,
Katie Hennessey

Dear Tracy,
My Aunt Tanya gave me your books for a present. This is how I learned to make fairy houses. I think my fairy house looks really good. This is how I made it. I put rocks in a circle & then I stuck sticks in the ground. Next, I put a leaf on top of the sticks. I used an acorn as a bath tub for the fairies. I put acorns & berries for their food. I used an open milk weed for the bed. Then I put leaves & left over milk weed in the back of the fairy house. Does that sound like a good fairy house?"

I have believed in fairies for as long as I can remember. I have always wanted to see one. When I went to Arizona I made a fairy house. Not as good as other ones on this web site but good. It was plain, flat,and it wasn't well - hidden. I Don't think any fairies have found it yet but I hope some do.

Dear Tracy,
We are brother and sister and our Nanna just bought us the book Fairy Houses, yesterday. Nanna read the story last night and we dreamed of making our first fairy house in the morning. After breakfast, we went out with Nanna and collected, bark, sticks, a pine cone, leaves and some dried grass... oh, and two feathers we found in the flower garden. We found a quiet spot at the base of the stone wall behind the garden shed. Nanna helped us build our first fairy house and we are hoping to build another one
the next time we visit. We are going to check the house every time we visit. Here is a picture to show you what it looks like.

Hi
I have recently become interested in fairies after I watched
the fairyhouse movie (Kristen's Fairy House) and read the book. I made my own fairyhouse in my back yard after going on a nature walk and picking up interesting things.
Thank you for writing the book!

Hello, my names is alison, me and my cousin patrick and my aunt donna, build a fairy house with leaves, twigs, old pieces of wood that were going to be thrown away. We did not use nails or anything to hold it togeather. we just built it this morning, and when I came home from the park I saw footsteps, three of
them, and when I wanted to show my uncle, they disapeared. And leaves got all curled up inside the fairy house. We cant wait for the morning to come, to find some more suprises.

Hi T. Kane
My name is Haleigh Simmons and I am in the first grade. We read your book and then we worked as partners to build a fairy house. I think the fall is a great time to build a fairy because the leaves on the ground are red, yellow and orange. Also a lot of the flowers have fallen to the ground so the add color too! I told my dad all about making a fairy house and we made this one.

Dear Tracy,
I really liked your video. I once watched a movie on Disney about fairy houses and I always thought it would be neat to make one. It looks like you and Kristen had a lot of fun making those houses and pretending to be fairies
Your video is very good and I would even recommend it for some teenagers. I am 14 and I enjoyed watching it myself.
Sincerely, Jenna

Dear Tracy,
I think the movie (Kristen's Fairy House) was great. I learned to be careful to not litter or drop thing into the water. My favorite part was when Kristen put the fairy outfit on and you guys danced to the music. I think the end of the book Fairy Houses was really good. You must have been proud of yourself for making the movie especially a Gold Award Winner,
