overview

scattered silk flowers, foil pond with sea shell stickers, glass pebbles for path
spider with mismatched googly eyes, over box of fairy dust
After we took these pictures, we found a cat's whisker (we call them whickers) and placed it atop the throne for good luck. We also found half a shell from a hatched birdie and added that. Who knows what the fairies will use it for--maybe a punch bowl or perhaps a basin to wash their stockings. We'll just have to wait and watch... and keep adding treasures for the fairies as they appear.
