The Journals:

I have left Journal/ Guestbooks at several of the Locations where fairy doors have appeared and invited people to share their own experiences, thoughts, drawings, musings and observations. On this web page I have posted a few of the journal pages with "translations", as they may be difficult to read in the photos.

Here are some of the Journal/Guestbooks which have already been filled. Sweetwaters café is on their 12th book (as of 7.23.07)...
people tend to loiter there long enough to read, write and draw.

Dear fairies

Dear Fairies,

"We are so glad that you have moved here. Won't you please answer your door? When are you going to come out? Why are you afraid of us? What do you eat? - Anna (age 5)

"I was the one knocking at your door. Don't be scared. I like you fairies. You have a cute house." (more from Anna)

"We have so much to say. Please come out when I knock" (even more from Anna)

This is a picture of your house.

A wonderfully articulate message from the 3rd journal/guestbook
at Peaceable Kingdom:

8/11/06
" Dear Fairies,
After visiting Peaceable Kingdom
and admiring your magical fairy store,
I decided to sew a quilt to keep you
warm during the upcoming Autumn
months. While I was shopping, I met
Jane, the storekeeper's Jack Russel
Terrier. Jane was initially frightened
of me because I am a child and
some children yhave overwhelmed
her in their attempts to pet her. I
waited paitiently for Jane to
approach me and I remained calm
while she snuggled with me.
Although Jane probably looks like a
gigantic hairy monster when she


pokes her moist nose through your
fairy store window, she is a cuddly
affectionate companion. Fairies,
like children, are small in stature
and may initially frighten Jane
away. I am leaving a dog bone
for you to give to Jane as a
peace offering. I also made
your quilt out of paw print
fabric to remind you that Jane
can be affectionate with little
people if you are calm and
patient with her. I hope you
and Jane live happily ever after
in a Peaceable Kingdom.

Love,
Lauren Pankin (age 8)



I live in Grosse Pointe {ark
with my loving Dogs and
several magical fairies. The
fairies live in my flower garden
and are camera shy.

Two Paiges write on 2 Pages of the 3rd Peaceable Kingdom Journal/Guestbook
(I only just saw this entry which corresponds to the photo sent to me)

"I witnessed a tiny cat
sitting outside the door.
It vanished when I got
too close. It seemed to
want something to eat."






"It looked
a bit
like this"

From page 17 of Peaceable Kingdom's 3rd Journal/guestbook.

From pages 70 & 71 of Sweetwater Café's 10th Journal/guestbook.
