Whimsical Properties: How I Found My Inspiration and a Business was Born.

"And as the seasons come and go, here's something you might like to know. There are fairies everywhere: under bushes, in the air, playing games just like you play, singing through their busy day. So listen, touch, and look around - in the air and on the ground. And if you watch all nature's things, you might just see a fairy's wing." ~Author Unknown

A real life Fairy Forest...Childs Park, PA

Hidden doorways at the base of trees.

My love of building fairy houses began in an effort to keep my 2 children & myself busy while my husband searched for a new job. Being stuck in a 600 square foot summer cottage (in the Fall) with a 5 & 2 year old can really give you a creative push.
You could also blame it on the 1,000 hours spent watching Tinkerbell movies and our days spent exploring Child's Park in the Poconos. All around us were mysterious fern glens, doorways in trees, and tiny little openings in the walls of rock. "Now this is a forest where the real fairies MUST live, " we thought!

So, we decided to build our first fairy house to see if we could entice any wee ones to come to our backyard. We now have 4 houses and lots of visitors. The children leave nightly snacks of fruit, nuts & candy and have been rewarded in the morning with the telltale sign of pixie dust trailing from house to house and little gifts of flowers, notes & tiny brooms left behind. The magic this has created for my children, nieces, nephews and our children's friends inspired me to make a house for my parents for Christmas, then a dollhouse for my niece.

Once a fashion marketing professional and now a stay-at-home Mom... I have found my creative therapy and started my own business, all the while nurturing the love of the outdoors in my children and allowing their creative little minds to flourish.

Each of these OOAK fairy homes & dollhouses are created after hours & hours of scouring the forests, the fields and antique stores for materials & treasures! Enjoy looking at our backyard homes and the listings of Whimsical Properties available For Sale & those that have been Sold.
