Butterfly House

This latest decorative fairy house would look beautiful hanging on a sun porch or in a little girls room.  It is made from a square, iron birdcage and it is topped with tons of blossoms, leaves & two pretty little butterflies.  The colors are soft & feminine and it's just sweet, sweet, sweet! This is another OOAK property that will be For Sale at the Whimsical Properties booth during the Penn-Mar Irish Festival on June 16th!  Enjoy your house tour!

Butterfly House is a square iron bird cage covered in tons of spring blossoms! 

The font door is framed with the flowers making the top of a heart and the door knob is a pink crystal butterfly.

This sofa is just so pretty and feminine made with wood, leaves and vines of berries & crystal butterflies.

The hand painted cupboard is filled with lots of treasures.

The ladder leads up to the wicker bed hanging in the ceiling.

The flowers on top inspired the spring color palate used on the inside. 

What fairy wouldn't want to sit at this pretty table with a silk checkered tablecloth for a meal?

This wicker basket bed is made with checked sheets and a pink mink blanket.

Cascade Lodge

This is "Cascade Lodge" the newest outdoor fairy house ready for the Penn-Mar Irish Festival in 2 weeks.  This house just rocks!  It is rustic and very eclectic.  I had this piece of wood that I've been dying to use and I finally found the birdhouse that it fit beautifully.  Enjoy the tour and come see us at the festival if you are nearby!

What a beautiful location for this fairy house.

A little peek of the inside - this a narrow house and I think I have Carpel tunnel after decorating the inside.

The birdhouse was mounted on a log and the roof is bark and a large piece of wood which stretches from the roof line to the base.

I used lots of dried mushrooms, different types of moss, dried flowers & wheat to do the landscaping.

Here you can see the ladder up to the loft bedroom.

I have no idea what these grasses are called that I used for the shutters, but they are just awesome!

Here you can see the staircase wrapping around the back of the property.

This is the upstairs window into the lofted bedroom.

A view of the back!

An ariel view so you can see the rear staircase entrance & the drop to the waterfall.

Profile - great bark roof!

I'm so glad I finally had a place to use this wood slab!

The wood slab from the roof made this cave which is lit by candles.  There is also a handmade deer tail broom.

Walnut basket of dried flowers & wheat.

Truly Whimsical!

Twilight Woods Inn

  

Twi-hard fans should recognize the theme for the "Twilight Woods Inn."   Inspired from Edward & Bella's wedding which had the most spectacular wedding set I've ever seen.  I was watching the movie with my cousin Maggie and we both agreed that it looked like the wedding was set in a fairy forest and I knew then I had to try to re-create that look in one of my fairy houses.  Hope you like it!  This property will be for sale at the Whimsical Properties booth during the Penn-Mar Irish Festival in Shrewsbury, PA on June 16th.

The "Twilight Woods Inn" offers a lot of privacy and has white wisteria and other flowers cascading all around it!

A thimble sitting on the heart shaped nightstand holds a  bouquet of flowers and candlesticks of various heights.

The base of the inn is surrounded by ferns & white flowers.

I used an old birdcage, mounted it on a walnut tree stump and covered the roof with hundreds of white & ivory blossoms.

The sewing spool table on the side holds a light snack of french bread, a basket of fruit and a bottle of wine w/ two acorn wine glasses.

The room is surrounded with these seed pod & leaf wall sconces making very romantic lighting.

The bed is made of twisted vines, green & ivory silk linens and an antique lace canopy!  Very romantic!

A flower petal path leads to the front door.

A heart bench sits outside and it's a great place to snuggle & watch the stars at night!

Thanks to Judi @ Cottage Charm in Lafayette, NJ for putting the "Cherry Blossom Cottage" and "Le Jardin" in her delightful store.  I met Judi last year when Ryan and I were on one of our shopping trips for unusual things to "fairy-ize."  As we were  shopping in Judi's store we explained what we were looking for and about my new business.  She was so kind and interested.  Six months later we were back and after presenting me with a packet of goodies she had been collecting for me she said she wanted these two houses for her store and she gave me a cute little gazebo to "fairy-ize" for her!

The Wee Shamrock

"Slainte!"  Good food, good friends and good fairy fun are to be had at The Wee Shamrock a traditional "fairy-ized" Irish Pub.  This OOAK fairy establishment will be on sale at the Whimsical Properties booth at the Irish Festival on June 16th in Shrewsbury, PA.  As the Irish blessing above the bar says, "May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow and may trouble avoid you wherever you go."

Please check out the Decorative Fairy House Gallery Page to read the new & improved MLS listing on this property.

Cheers!

The pub is built out of a green iron bird cage and mounted on a round slab of walnut. The roof is covered in shamrocks & moss.

Here is a view from a distance to better see it's "wee" size.

Custom hand engraved signage

Here is a little peek at the inside.  The front door has an Irish carved heart door knob.

All the inside furnishings were made from re-claimed barn wood.  Antique perfume bottles are filled with spirits, the cash register is ready, the acorn wine glasses & wooden beer mugs hang from above and the Shepard's Pie is cooling.

What would ANY Irish pub be without Guinness & Harp on tap?

The locals here are known for the nightly competitive game of checkers.

The outdoor tables are a great place for dining or just having drinks.  Tables are wood and the stools are champagne corks.

 

This Irish Blessing hangs inside near the bar.

An old wine jut sits atop the shelf.

Here shamrocks preserved from a long ago St. Patrick's Day rest against a basket of flowers.

The sandwiches here are good, but the fish-n-chips are the specialty of the house.  Daily specials are printed on the chalkboard to the right of the bar.

A view of an outdoor table set for dinner.  Love the mismatched green linens.

Wanna meet for a drink later?
