Fairy furniture - who knew it needed doing?

I decided a few days ago that my knitted fairies would be better presented sitting down, so I went to the internet and discovered a sub-culture of makers of fairy furniture.  Who knew?  House furnishing for mythical creatures is not part of the general fabric of life but it's going on, unreported, under the noses of an unsuspecting public. Selflessly, these people spend hours glueing and binding together twigs;  they adorn their creations with flowers, beads, moss and jewels;  they arrange them enticingly in gardens and bowers in the hope that tiny, imaginary beings can sit more comfortably.  I decided that I could not let them continue this arduous work alone and that I too would try to ensure that beings who do not exist can enjoy their non-lives more happily.  Reader, I wish I could tell you that my labours were unselfish and dedicated only to the betterment of others, but really it was just an excuse to get the hot glue gun out again!

However, after some sticky moments, I discovered that glueing sticks together is not as easy as it looks or sounds and I resorted to buying some furniture at the car boot sale and decorating it.  It was a cheat, but the results were an improvement on my chair construction efforts ....

I took them, and one or two other pretty things, to Farnham Maltings on Saturday.  I didn't sell very much vintage but the fairies fairly flew:  must be nearly Christmas.  There, I said it!
