Another Mark Roberts Fairy Hanging Around

From the main level of our house

you go up a few steps to

the old master bedroom and

two other guest bedrooms.

There is a sliding pocket garden door

that closes the upstairs off 

for heating and cooling purposes 

when no one is up there.

When we rehabbed this house

we had them build in a seeded glass

side wall and at the end of that

there is a block provided to 

hang a fairy.

The fairy changes with the season 

but each one is a 

Mark Roberts Fairy.

This is the Christmas fairy that hangs

there every year.

Isn't he dear?

This is a wider shot of that wall.

Do you see the two little hinged doors?

Well, when the grandkids come to visit

they ring a "fairy bell" that is outside our door.

The fairy flits down and brings them a sweet

little treat of some kind.

It is always a surprise to open the door.

Since I took these pictures a couple of
days ago the good fairy made a small change.
There seems to be some "confusion"
about which "hidey hold" belongs to
SweetCheeks.
Well, now it is obvious-

She is a GULL (girl) and her cousins
are BUOYS (boys).
Never again will SweetCheeks eat
her boy cousins' treats by "mistake".
(gulls/buoys-we live on the waterfront-get it?;>)

Anyhow~They never know what the treat will be.

Today it's a Tootsie Roll Pop.

You just never know what that fairy might 

leave there for them to find.

But it is NEVER anything BAD-

Unless THE ELF is involved!

If I've told him once I've told him a hundred times-

WE DO NOT LET THE KIDS 

PLAY WITH MATCHES!
