Fairy Doors of Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor's fairy doors are a charming and whimsical feature that draws in both locals and tourists. When these small, finely carved doors started to show up in different parts of Ann Arbor in 2005, people were intrigued and delighted to find them. Jonathan B. Wright, an artist, created these little portals as toys for his kids. However, they swiftly became a well-liked urban mystery and cultural phenomenon. Every door is distinct and painstakingly made to fit in with its surroundings. They are located in local businesses' walls, beneath trees, and even in theaters and libraries. By suggesting that fairies might genuinely reside in these areas, the doors aim to evoke a sense of magic and wonder. Little staircases or windows frequently accompany them. These doors provide an opportunity for people of all ages to interact imaginatively and playfully with their surroundings, which promotes storytelling and discovery.

The fairy doors have an effect that goes beyond mere entertainment. They have made Ann Arborites feel more connected to one another and to the community as a whole. Families and friends who participate in fairy door hunts post their discoveries on social media and in local communities. In addition to strengthening ties throughout the community, this shared experience offers visitors and residents alike a distinctive way to see the city. Furthermore, companies close to the fairy doors frequently witness an increase in foot traffic as interested parties stop by to find out more information or to note the little doors. Additionally, the fairy doors encourage artistic expression and creativity. Local artists and craftspeople have enhanced the city's artistic landscape with their brilliant creations. Community organizations and schools utilize the fairy doors to foster children's imagination and creativity through educational activities. Interacting with these tiny pieces of art encourages people to observe their surroundings differently and discover beauty and possibilities in commonplace locations. Essentially, Ann Arbor's Fairy Doors are a monument to the creative spirit and the excitement of exploration. They serve as a reminder that magic and whimsy may exist in even the busiest of cities. The doors ask us to take a moment to relax, take in our surroundings, and be grateful for the little mysteries that might make our lives more meaningful. Encapsulating a blend of ingenuity, community spirit, and playful curiosity, they continue to enchant everyone who encounters them, making them a symbol of Ann Arbor's distinct character.

It is the middle of a Sunday afternoon. You have nothing on, and aren't expecting visitors, deliveries or post.

Unexpectedly, there is a knock at the door.

you are greeted by...... her

[podcastwizard]

because here's the thing here's the thing the question was not "would you be more surprised to run into a fairy or a walrus" the question was "would you be more surprised to find a fairy or a walrus AT YOUR DOOR" and while no, i do not believe in fairies and would be surprised to know they EXIST i would NOT be surprised to find one at my door. HOWEVER, if a WALRUS shows up at my door i have to contend with the fact that a walrus somehow made it to my apartment specifically and knocked on my door for god knows what reason. i would be more surprised to know that a fairy EXISTS, of course, but NOT that they're at my door, do you get me?

but how did the walrus knock

Forest Fairies - #ThursdayDoors

Every time I walk this path, I feel a bit childlike. I keep my eyes peeled and I listen hard... well, you just never know! #ThursdayDoors #FairyDoors #ForestWalks

A colourful collection of doors today from Belleek Forest here in Ballina, Co Mayo. These wonderful little fairy doors were first made a few years ago by the members of The Men’s Shed, and I see that they’ve repaired some that had gotten weather beaten, and they’ve also added some new ones. The fairy doors are a popular attraction in the forest for people of all ages. Every time I walk this…

Did Peri tell Timmy that he was planning to become a Fairy Godparent/that he was assigned a godkid? When we first see the fam reunite in the series, Cosmo and Wanda didn't seem to know.

Timmy had known Peri might pursue becoming a godparent, because Peri had consulted with him about career tracks!! And like. Being the only one invited to Peri's college graduation tends to give Timmy more insight than his parents. Special older brother privileges.

As for being assigned a Godkid, Timmy sorta... Stumbled into it. He found out long before Peri was told he had been given an assignment!

of fucking course the sugar plum fairy's lair is the FREEZER

the rest of calorum is the fridge and when people die its food getting eaten by the hungry one

but the sugar plum fairy steals spirits away to her mountain lair so they don't get eaten!

aka putting them in the freezer so they're dead but not eaten yet!!

and when she dies lapin says all the spirits have to go to the hungry one!!!

and there is imagery of the heat of the old dragon's lair melting lapin and all the sugar plum fairy's treasures away!!!!

aka frozen food being defrosted/reheated to be eaten!!!!!

fuck fuck fuck of fucking COURSE!!!!!!
