I saw Three separate groups on fairy door tours this morning on my way to work! I only spoke to one group (from Ypsilanti). I was able to direct them to the Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea fairy door, which is INSIDE.

Fairy Finders.

At the FairyCon (yes, there are such things) in Pennsylvania a few years back, I heard a panel, which included: Holly Black,Wendy Froud, Joseph Corsentino and Delia Sherman, who are all big shots in the world of Fey.

There was some talk of the concept of fairies who walk amongst us... looking overtly human, but with something...just a bit magical. Delia described an instance of this, which she called an "urban fairy encounter". I could visualize it and drew a quick sketch.

Today, I experienced 1st hand a similar situation as a "woman" ran by the coffee shop as I sat inside. My view was partially obscured by people at another table, but as she ran by a piece of bright green, splotchy (tie dyed?) cloth fluttered behind her shoulders (a t-shirt or scarf?) but it appeared like wings and she ran smoothly and swiftly as if her feet did not touch the ground. I couldn't see her feet, so.... perhaps they did not.

Notes to self:

New book contributor found.

Car Show:
• Molly & Josephine (drawings)
• Photos.

Far and beyond fairy doors... via e-mails

I just (yesterday) placed the 25th! urban-fairies journal/guestbook at Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea.

It is interesting, when leaving a blank book (with "instructions") how many people are off topic. They either do not bother reading the preface or choose to ignore it. Still, there are enough wonderful (and pertinent) entries to keep it going.

Only 44 copies of "Who's Behind the Fairy Doors?" left! Getting quote on reprint.

Should I? Shouldn't I? I'd have to market more "aggressively"... hmmm
I am happy and thankful that it has sold as well as it has. But, perhaps I should "get out" while I am ahead.
