My dream house would probably look like a Fairy House!

I may earn a little commission from some of the links (if any) mentioned in this post at no extra cost to you.

If you are indeed a quirky shopper like me, you will most definitely have at least considered buying a fairy house either for yourself or for someone else at some point in your life! I prefer the solar ones, they have a little bit more magic to them. I love how quirky they look, they come in so many different shapes and sizes and they are so beautiful, it’s hard not to imagine yourself living in a proper normal-sized house that resembles one of them. Wouldn’t the World be a more interesting and colourful place? I am envious of the fairies who get to live in them!

A few years ago, Mr Quirky gave me a Solar Fairy House for Christmas and it has lived on our windowsill in the kitchen sunbathing for quite a while, it was a nice thing to look at whilst washing up! But I have found that they have a bigger purpose, a power, that I didn’t realise they had until a month or so ago, the power to quieten a toddler meltdown! When my two-year old niece came over one day, I found that she quietened down as soon as I asked her if she wanted to see the fairies. I have since moved my fairy house to the living room windowsill so that she can see it easier, and she’s so cute ‘sssh’ she says ‘the fairies are sleeping’ Works like a charm!

This is the one I’ve got, it looks quite impressive and would be up there as one of the grandest fairy houses.

I was so impressed with this idea as a gift that the next Christmas I wanted to get my Mother one. I thought it was something a little bit different that she would like to look at. Her favourite colour is purple so I was trying to find one that had purple colouring, and I was trying to find something that was completely different to the one I was given. And then I found this teapot, this was spot on. My Dad loved it more than my Mother and they have it on the windowsill in their kitchen diner so I know they like it. It is so pretty and quirky, I love it. There are many many more teapots available that are just as quirky, and just as fun as this one, but I think I made the right choice for my Mother with it’s purple flowers on top.

I am so impressed with how the designs have moved on in the short time since I was looking for this teapot! They have them in so many different shapes and themes now. These fruit and veg themed fairy houses are amazing, and they really do spark the imagination. It makes sense that fairies would build houses out of what is available to them…we’ll forget that they would probably rot though shall we?! This pineapple themed fairy house is fantastic, looks so funky, it would look so good in a kitchen or in the garden. You can also get a pumpkin, a broccoli,a bunch of carrots and a bunch of asparagus!

There are quite a few floral fairy houses too as you can imagine. These are beautiful ones, but what I like about this one is that it looks like a bouquet of lillies. No need for a vase, no need for you to arrange, and the flowers won’t die. This seems like a fabulous alternative to a bunch of flowers if you ask me!

I also adore the really quirky shaped fairy houses you can get like caravans! Caravans always look quirky, they have funny shapes, they have retro and vintage vibes and they just lend themselves so well to this type of product. I have a soft spot for this gypsy caravan, and it might need to be added to my fairy house wishlist. It would look amazing in the garden.

I do love the gypsy caravan, but this retro tin can of a caravan is so quirky, I had to include it! They would both look so fab in the garden, I can visualise it, at this rate I’ll be setting up a fairy caravan park out the back!

Another gorgeous fairy house that would look absolutely perfect in the garden is this watering can. There’s a choice of purple or silver, but I love the purple, really stands out, and that’s what we want from our quirky purchases surely?! I love that it hasa ladybird on it, adding character and even more colour. Thumbs up from me!

I do have a deep appreciation for the boot-shaped fairy houses too. The detailing is exquisite. It’s an extremely elegant kind of quirky, and automatically makes you think of childhood stories about the little old lady who lived in shoe, I think that’s the story I’m thinking about anyway! Either way, it has a nostalgic vibe, takes you back to the imagination of youth, and that’s what fairy houses are there for, to create magical moments and memories.

I just love all of these fairy houses, and it would be amazing to be small enough to live in one, even just for a day. Maybe one day I will be able to build my very own fairy house, I’m only 5ft nothing so it shouldn’t take long! I think mine would have to be a palace fairy house like this one…after all, I am a bit of a Princess!

Which one would you live in?
