Gnome and Fairy Houses
I am LOVING reading Sarah Olmstead’s book Imagine Childhood. She has such a magical way of writing and, more than once, I’ve come to a paragraph where I’ve thought, ‘Oh yes… I did that as a child too!!’ Childhood is an universal language. I find Sarah’s words inspiring. Being a mom and having the power to bring childhood magic into the lives of our children must surely be one of the most important tasks we have.When I was a child 30 (or so) years ago, we had so much more freedom than our own children are allowed. Like Sarah, I was often out alone in the forest, left to dream up fantastical daydreams. It’s sad hat our children don’t have this luxury and I feel it is my duty to give them the illusion of being lost in nature and their imaginations.
Last night, I read the chapter in the book about making fairy houses. I love how Sarah and her little ones stop off along a trail somewhere and find the perfect spot for fairy play. It made me remember the times when my little family and I had done the same and, as the memories came flooding back, I realized that we hadn’t spontaneously created a fairy house for such a long time… many years, in fact. We used to make them wherever we went. Why we stopped, I do not know. So, this afternoon, we are going to put on our rain boots and venture out into the late Autumn sunshine to make a gnome home in the woods.
Here are some photos of some of the fairy and gnome homes we’ve made in the past…
Gnome Feast with a mushroom table, chairs and lots of yummy goodies for gnomes to eat. CLICK HERE to see more.
Here is a magic fairy circle with a feast for whomever happens upon it. CLICK HERE to see more.
Oh gosh… these gnomes seem to eat a lot! Here is another gnome feats. CLICK HERE to see more.
Here is Kitty (look how young she looks!), very proud of the little stick house she has made for a lucky, unsuspecting, gnome. CLICK HERE to see more.
We are so excited for this afternoons adventures… I’ll be sure to take some photos of our newest gnome home.

Reviews for "Witchcraft and Witch Hunting: Examining the Historical Context of "Witch Hunter Bok"
1. Emily - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Witch Hunter Book". The plot was weak and predictable, with clichéd characters and too much emphasis on romance rather than the actual witch hunting. The writing was also lackluster and didn't draw me in. Overall, it felt like a poorly executed attempt at a fantasy novel.
2. James - 1 star - "Witch Hunter Book" was a complete letdown. The world-building was non-existent, and the magic system was poorly explained. The protagonist was unrelatable and made constant foolish decisions. The pacing was painfully slow, and I found myself struggling to finish it. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for a well-crafted fantasy adventure.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "Witch Hunter Book," but it fell flat for me. The writing style was very simplistic and lacked depth. The dialogue felt forced, and the characters lacked development. The romance subplot was predictable and detracted from the main plot. Overall, I found it to be a forgettable read that didn't live up to its potential.
4. Tom - 1 star - "Witch Hunter Book" was a complete waste of time. The author did a poor job of immersing the reader in the world of witch hunting. The plot was disjointed and lacked coherence. The characters were one-dimensional and had no depth. The writing was tedious and repetitive, making it a struggle to get through. This book was a huge disappointment and not worth your time.
