One thing I have noticed about the fairies' reaction to the droppings; they seem to be collecting most of it. Many of the items left on the various stoops reappear inside the "store" within Peaceable Kingdom.

This is the first collection.

Could you ask WHY she (Fiona) left the fairies a necklace? A kind thing to do, for certain. I am fascinated that so many people leave things for the fairies.

Response:
Fiona says she left the fairies a necklace for a couple of reasons.
1. It is probably hard to find things small enough for a fairy and so they might not have a necklace yet.
(She had made it as a ring for herself, but it frankly makes more sense as a necklace for a fairy,
being made of tiny beads strung on dental floss.)
2. She's never seen a fairy and she likes the idea of a fairy having something that was once hers.
3. She thinks some people might be mean to the fairies and so she wants them to know that
not all people are mean.

Her necklace was not to be seen. I suspect that the Fairies had already appropriated it. It did not seem to be in their "store", but there is a LOT of stuff in there and likely as not a fairy was wearing it.

As promised in the journal; A pair of hand-knit fairy socks! The donor used #0000 needles. It is hard to see, but there are sparkles in the socks as well. Even the card was handcrafted with a sparkle-wing fairy stamp, a green grommet and deckled edge.

The card reads:

"Sorry if the socks are a little bit big. I used the smallest needle I could find - #0000! Maybe these could be holiday stockings?"

I was lucky enough to take this photo before they disappeared.
