It is October! The month when we have the annual visit of the urban-fairy Fairy Pumpkin Cottage!

I hope to see it again this year (this month). I have begun work on a book detailing some of the history of the Fairy Pumpkin Cottage and its background.

Good news! Sold out of "Who's Behind the Fairy Doors?"... 2,000 copies (plus or minus).

Bad news. Sold out of "Who's Behind the Fairy Doors?"..just before holiday shopping.

Bad news. I don't have the money to reprint right now. Not even certain that would be wise.... market saturation...?

I just received the following e-mail:

Hi

An escrow service can be used for the transaction to give you complete peace of mind and provide protection for both parties involved.


Thanks for taking the time to read this message and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I find that a gross example of opportunistic capitalistic bottom feeding. It came from "down under", by the way, so it is not only an American thing.

I'd sooner call the fairy doors "Canned Squirrel" before giving that person any money.

A nice article was just posted in The Michigan Daily. yay!

Some disturbing news from another news publication.
Who supposedly, "...are currently in the process of getting some fairy doors installed..."

In my experience, the fairies are much more discrete than that!
I have a baaaaad feeling that this might not be the work of fairies!

It looks like someone had a great 3rd birthday!
Which made MY day as well!

There were some other photos of the birthday fairy door hunt...

I was lucky enough to catch a Bee-Bear. (without being stung or bitten).

A Bee-Bear is just what you might think.... part bee and part bear.
As it turns out this is the brain child of a genetic-engineering artist, Aleah Klay.

Once I am came into position of this Bee-Bear I followed it around as it visited several of the urban-fairy fairy doors in Ann Arbor.

They're Back! Last night a bright light caught my attention. When I went outside I saw the Fairy Pumpkin Cottage had returned (though it was made from a fresh pumpkin).

Uh Oh! It seem that not only fairies are getting into the spirit of the season. However, the goblins are pretty much ALWAYS in that spirit.
