Fairy in the House! The Destiny of Things, Story 344

One lucky little girl has a fairy that brings her things through a fairy door!

Here is the email I received and photo of the fairy door!

I ordered some things from you before Christmas. You wanted to know what I planned to do with them... the small gum ball machine containers I filled with shopkins and put them in a tabletop claw machine for my 6 year old daughter. She flipped out with excitement! Also, the grab bag that I got from you are "gifts" for my daughter that her fairy friend Autumn leaves after coming into her room at night through her fairy door. I've enjoyed being able to come up with creative stories to go with the items. Their randomness is what makes it so much fun!! Thanks and I will definitely order from you again!

How cute is that fairy door! It even has little steps and even better, her fairy friend, Autumn leaves messages and fun fairy gifts!

What a nice surprise to find from a fairy friend in the morning! Happy messages and gifts from her fairy world! The stories and memories this mother and daughter are making must be incredible! So happy to be indirectly part of it!

Saying Goodbye: I have my own stash of gumball capsules for my art projects and I do collect gumball capsules in colors that are more difficult to find. And I do love a good grab bag once in awhile as long as I know what I'm getting! The best part is arranging everything for my little collections in shadow boxes.

What I Learned:

1. I would have loved to have a fairy friend as a child and listening to stories that my Mom would have made up to go with all the fun! How exciting is must be for her daughter to fall asleep and wonder if her fairy friend was going to visit. She must have some sweet dreams!

2. I do love making up grab bags and what I call "desk inspiration" collections and have several listed at a couple of our shops.

Here is an all pink one that fits in a diamond box, available here

3. I've had bad luck with my computer lately and my space bar key wasn't working very well and then stopped working all together. Now that it's been fixed I have a lot of blog posts to catch up on!

4. I'm still doing well with my Lent of giving up sugar and buying things. Sugar was much easier to give up than buying things. I think I was in retail therapy withdrawal for the first 2 weeks. Now I don't even window shop and have found I have more time to pursue other things, like my art or organizing my hoard or catching up on some of my favorite shows.

5. The only fairy I knew as a child was the tooth fairy! What about you?

Since I've reached my goal of adding new items weekly to each shop until I have 800 of my dehoard listed that will be 200 items listed at each shop! Well, almost each shop! Yippee!

Now I'm concentrating on a new goal, which is making more art to see if it can fill the void for hoarding Lately, I've been working on some loteria art cards and will be listing them next week on each shop!

Also, I'll be adding new listings when each shop sells an item and it looks like there's some already!

Click on the shop names to visit new hoard listed daily and/or weekly: HoarderRehab with 196 items, The Destiny of Things- 194 items, VintageToGoEasy - 202 items and JunkDrawerAndMore - 199 items

Maybe you'll find something to adopt and share your story too! Thanks for looking!
