Made my first fairy house
Q
Comments (45)
Thanks everyone. The show was in June. I only sold one fairy house there, but many, many fairy gardens, planted shoes and bottle bugs. I had over $900 in sales. I think I had the houses priced too high because I lowered them some and ended up selling almost every one at the local farmer's market this summer. Originally I had them priced between $20 and $40. I lowered prices to $15 - $30 and they flew off the tables. I do have photos from the show but I am on vac. right now and using a laptop, so can't post any until we get home! I had a blast making them and plan to do them again this winter and do 2 spring shows with them. Arlene

My intentions were pure when I posted about the Chatanooga resin last year. However, my husband's health was steadily declining and he died this February. And I still haven't tried a fairy house. Sigh. I DO have a box of sand saved under my kitchen table with a plastic pan cover to keep the cats out. Maybe I'll get back to the project before snow flies. Maybe not. I WILL try. Hope somebody else has tried it meanwhile!

??? For Those of You Who Make Quiche
Q
Comments (10)
Thanks to all for your helpful advice. The shower was a wonderful success. I did make quiche - 6 of them ---2 each of spinach/feta, artichoke/swiss and bacon/cheddar. To my surprise, the bacon/cheddar was the first to go, followed by artichoke, then spinach. I thought it would have been the other way around. Anyway, I had way more than enough and after most of the people left, some were going back for "seconds". Even the guys who came over later enjoyed it. My sister made five different breads, I had a fruit tray and roasted potatoes with green, red and yellow peppers and sliced ham. For dessert we had a large assortment of finger pastries!! It was all wonderful. For the quiche ---- I ended up using Pillsbury as I knew I would be in a time crunch. It unrolls so nicely and is quite thin. I pre-baked the crusts late on Saturday night. I covered them with foil, put in weights, baked them for 10 minutes at 375, then uncovered them, brushed on an egg white/dijon wash and baked for another 5 minutes. I prepped all of the fillings on Saturday. Sunday morning, I beat the eggs, half&half, added the fillings and baked. It was so easy. By noon they were cooled, but just slightly warm ---- thought I would share my success. Thanks again for all of the insight.

Thanks for sharing! That would have to be kept in a screened in porch, in a shop window, or in the house. If a squirrel got in there he/she would tear it up in no time.

I don't think I could bear to part with that.

Wow!! And it lights up also!! What a work of art, must take a long time to make. Sure would need to be in a screened porch as even birds would be pulling that grey moss stuff off.(for their nests) The person has some others there also. Jan

Wow, I was looking at fairy houses on eBay and missed that one. I did see the one below that was going for $565 when I looked at it. Not quite as impressive as the one noted above.

Wow - that definitely consisted of many many hrs. of work, speaking from experience and I've never made anything THAT elaborate! But who has $500 to spend on something like that? Wow!

Whoowee! Fantastic creation, but lordy, lordy what a price! I'm going to attempt a fairy/gnome garden in the spring, but it will be nothing quite that fancy....with all of the cats, squirrels, and other critters around my house, the poor thing wouldn't stand a chance! ;-)

The ice queen fairy house.....did anyone else think it odd that shipping is only 5.00 and there is no description of the house, like size! ! ! Interesting! The other fairy house is awesome.

Shipping may be a misprint, OR
if it sells for that price, he/she can afford to send it postage paid! :>)
