Knick knacks and PondsFaerie houses can be accessorized with a nearly innumerable number of nifty knick knacks.
Mailboxes and glowing porch lights are elegant and useful additions. Add some comfortable seating, or a cooling pond to help your faeries relax at home. Show off your faerie's particular personality with themed items like a witch's broom, soapy bubble bath or tea for two. |

You just have to pay attention. If you don't, you'll miss them, or see something else--something you expected to see rather than what was really there. Faerie voices become just the wind ... scurrying across the street becomes just a piece of litter caught in the backwash of a bus. - Charles De Lint

CrittersFaeries have a ton of fun friends come to visit them.
Wise owls roost on front stoops, snails sneak through their bushes, and lady bugs alight on the lights. |
Soft moss a downy pillow makes, and green leaves spread a tent,
Where Faerie fold may rest and sleep until their night is spent.
The bluebird sings a lullaby, the firefly gives a light,
The twinkling stars are candles bright, Sleep, Faeries all, Good Night.
~Elizabeth T. Dillingham, "A Faery Song"
Plants and MushroomsFabulous flowers, tall grasses, manicured bushes, potted plants and tangled vines love to put down roots in faerie dust infused soil.
Magic mushrooms are attracted to growing near faerie dwellings, and faerie gardeners pride themselves on their prize mushroom clusters. |

She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes in shape no bigger than an agate-stone on the forefinger of an alderman. - William Shakespeare

Crystals and StonesAccumulated faerie dust coalesces into colorful crystal points over the eons.
Rocks and stones near a faerie dwelling have a touch of magic to them from collecting years of faerie dust. |
