Check for fairies
Tuesday, January 23, 2008

Check your walls. You might have fairies. The ``urban fairy door'' phenomenon that started in Ann Arbor has made its way to Jackson. Jennifer Moore, owner of Pink Heels at Art 634 on Mechanic Street, believes her store is home to the city's first fairy family.

Intricate, miniature doors first started popping up in the home of Jonathon Wright of Ann Arbor right around the time he installed a closet for a preschool program his wife ran in their house. Wright has documented the proliferation of fairies to downtown Ann Arbor businesses and beyond at www.urban-fairies.com.

The doors have been featured in the Ann Arbor News, Washington Post and on National Public Radio.

Moore said she discovered the tiny door in her yoga studio after the holidays, calling it ``truly a surprise.''

Apparently, The Wall Street Journal caught wind of this.
