Fairy Doors

Next weekend is the first fair we are doing of the year, so we are in full swing getting things ready. It is always chaos getting ready for the first fair of the year, as all the structure for our stand has been in storage since before Christmas. We have to find everything we need, combine it with the new things we have for this year and get it into some sort of order before we set off! I didn't think you would want to see our pile of boxes that is the "progress" for this week so I thought I would show you one of our 2014 lines.

Meet the Fairy Door

These little doors are for putting in a secret place, such as tucked on a skirting board or high on a bookshelf. They are for letting the fairies in and out of your house (connected naturally to the magic fairy kingdom on the otherside!)

This was a concept suggested to the potter at the end of last year, and she fell in love with the idea. All of the doors are different, all based on a arched wooden door (like you would imagine as the entrance to a walled garden) but with different windows and decoration, and in different colours.

We have had a small selection at our unit at Dedham Art and Craft centre for a couple of months, and it seems they are capturing the imagination of the visitors there, so we will be taking them out to the fairs with us as well.
