Amber Waves

So, my brother Brian an F-15 pilot in the Air Force was home for a few days and after watching my children dole out all the "HERO" worship towards their Uncle for a few days I guess I was inspired to make a patriotic fairy house.  Of course this was not the first time I was inspired by my little brother.  My first fairy dollhouse the "Red, White & Blue Cottage" was made for my niece Amelia while Brian was serving overseas last year!  This is sweet & subtle...I hope you like it!  P.S.   Thanks to Mom for coming up with the name!

The roof of this house is made of stalk of wheat, grain, baby's breath, red & blue berries and two butterflies.

This sofa was made out of wood and a tiny pillow I found in a flea market with the word"Faith" embroidered on it.

Have to have red, white & blue Pixie dust in this house!

Even fairies get mail!

The American Bald Eagle motif on this cage helped with some of the design of this house.

There is a hurricane lamp, a book and a wooden mug sitting on the stone coffee table.

A view from the back of the hosue.

Here you can see the two butterflies flitting around the the roof.

The apple tree was just "the perfect" location for this house.
