By Leave a Comment

Last UpdatedSaturday, August 4, 2018

Fairy houses are a favorite of Sisters Know Best!  Whether you believe in fairies or not, fairy houses are a cute mini-project that add a touch of whimsy to every home or garden. There are many different ways to make a fairy house, but we like to use the bounty of nature to make ours.
