I was getting my daily fill of Ohdeedoh this morning, and came across the article about Fairy Doors. They are popping up all over Ann Arbor, MI, and people seek them out like a scavenger hunt. The idea of the Fairy Door is that you install one in your house to let your special Fairy in. Some fairies are travel fairies, leaving plane tickets, maps, special excursion details, etc. for your children. Another is a cleaning fairy that checks to see if the playroom/bedroom/whatever room is cleaned up (and leaves treats if it is)... the list goes on and on ... and I adore the premise.
So, I found a vendor on Etsy that makes them. I contacted her to see if she makes different styles and colors, and will let you know what I find out.
How sweet and magical...
Another find was this great idea for a bookcase (Ohdeedoh, too):
Take an existing bookcase, and insert long pieces of wood in the front to create a forward-facing bookcase. The advantages are your children can see what book they are looking for and find it easily (especially if they don't read yet) without yanking each and every book off the shelf. LOVE this.
