| Because Urban Fairies are as fickle as any Woodland or Flower Fairies, the locations change with whims. At any given time, there may or may NOT be a door when you look. Clik on any thumbnail to see and read more about the particular location. |

THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL FAIRY DOORS
since 1993
This Page shows the current Fairy Doors in Ann Arbor, MIchigan. Each thumbnail links to a page, which elaborates on the specific location of the fairy door, represented. The Pin map shows the distribution of the tiny doors. The fact that MOST are clustered in central Ann Arbor leads to the descriptive term: "Urban Fairies". As of this posting, the fairies have been to; our house, Sweetwaters Café, Peaceable Kingdom, Selo Shevel Gallery, Jefferson Market, The Ark, The Ann Arbor Framing Company, Lakewood Elementary School, Red Shoes and Voilà. Tiny doors have been the principle element in common. Some of the location have tiny windows and even elaborate interior spaces as well as fairy doors. The miniature doors match or coordinate with the larger human doors of each location. Each fairy location also seems to be a uniquely Ann Arbor setting. I will try to add any new locations of fairy doors just as soon as I become aware of them. I will also add new photos as I take them. I am working with local photographer, Bob Foran, to substitute his photos of the fairy doors for mine.
