More Fairy Houses

Marie also set up a handy spare bedroom for her pampered pixie. (The bottle cap and bike reflector add to that old-time, Kate Greenaway look prized by homespun fairies throughout the world.)

Here is a quiz for all you nature experts: What kind of bird inhabits this nest, so painstakingly fashioned and expertly camouflaged?

The answer? Why the Bow-tie Throated Eastern Easter Chick, of course!

LOL! I was really waiting to find out who built the nest...then I read the name of the bird. It wasn't until I saw the photo that I realized it wasn't a real bird...haha! Must be morning Mommy fogginess! PS. Kate Greenaway would be proud! :)

Alice, these pictures are so adorable! I *love* the pixies. They look like the ones in "Felt Wee Folk" (a favorite but sadly underused book of mine). Thank you for sharing your lovely day with us.
