Fairyville Friday # 4

Happy Friday everyone !

You know, as huge as Bloglandia is - it's really a small world after all.................
You come up with an idea - and you're all excited about it because it's soooo original - and you happily start working on it -
And then - before it's finished - lo and behold - someone else has done it - and done it far better then you could ever hope to - and suddenly you're completely deflated.
Plus you look like a Blogger Plagiarist...................
But I swear to you - I pinky swear in fact - that I had already started this before I saw " the great one "
( and I'm only going to show you " the great one " at the end of this post - because maybe it won't make mine look so pitiful.


A stone cottage fairy house !
Now if that's not the cutest thing ( well actually it's not - it's not the cutest one by far - as you'll later see )
but I'll just trudge along and show you how I did mine anyway - and really if you had nothing to compare it with I just know you'd fall in love with it.............

I started off with a little box ( I don't know what you call these - but they hang on the wall actually )


and a fence post newel that I also had on hand ( which when you're in fairy mode looks very much like a roof )


See what I mean?


I applied " No More Nails " as the grout - but any thick glue would work


And then I added small stones ( purchased at the dollar store ) randomly


While that was setting - I painted the roof black


For the front of the house I simply drew the shape of a door


and placed the rocks all around it - painted the door black - and added a little rhinestone type of thing
( that came from a pair of flip flops LOL )  for a door knob


I painted a french window on the other side -


and here's the little fairy house I was so proud of for about a day - I mean, really, how much cute can you pack into a post, right?

DIY Fairy Stone Cottage

apparently a lot more than I can -
here's a photo of " the great one "


Is that over the top amazing or what?  This should be a feature on I WANNA live there Wednesday for crying out loud !
Take a hop over to the Feral Turtle to see how Karen made this - it's incredible !

This miniature house real estate business is a tough one - and that's all I'm going to say about that.
Shingle roof?  Glass windows?  Dormers?
Phfffft................there's not a lantern to be found - sadly lacking I'd say.



You can see the rest of the village's houses HERE  &  HERE
You all have a wonderful weekend ♥
Hugs,


I'll be at these parties !!!
