By now, you know that solitary fairies have no interest in cavorting with other members of their troop; nor do they want any human attention. Here is a little scene set in Merryspring Nature Garden by a natural spring. Tea for one, at a tiny handcrafted mossy table with chair, a vase of flowers and an oversized cup of nectar. This fairy furniture has been set inside a shadow box measuring 6 x6 inches. Inside the shadow box, the fairy furniture is set in the woods on a mossy floor with tiny mushrooms spouting up. This one of a kind fairy shadowbox will be available soon. Stay tuned for more like it!
In a meadow in Tanglewood, a lone Tulip Tree blooms in May......I came up to one just to touch the petals. I shouldn't have been surprised for this is their time to emerge from their underground labyrinth... While many of The Wee Folk like to live in a troop, there are some solitary fairies who prefer to live alone. They don't have elaborate dresses or finery (like those who serve the fairy queen), but instead, their rural garb helps them blend in. This one is made with white and red birch bark and an underskirt of plain brambles with just a hint of white reindeer moss and fluff for a corsage. These fairies do not like it when humans come near them or spy on them, so I backed away and left her alone sunning in the Tulip Tree.

Most people don't realize there are fairy clans and then there are solitary fairies, the kind that prefer to troop about by themselves and not partake in any society, be it fairy or man. This one likes to spend her days by a lone apple tree in the Maine field. She has her wee books and a dew drop of champagne a the fluted flower cup and that's all she needs.
