They were popular years ago.
Then faded. Now back.
As happens with most things.
Always liked idea.
Small scale garden surprises & whimsy.
Mine has been around awhile, at base of some shrubs.
Less fairy, more tranquility.
But small scale, set around little monk statue.
Glass marbles form "pond." Edged in rough stones.
Low voltage fixture, blown glass globe--tosses about some fun colors at night.
Assorted false shamrock(Oxalis) plants add bit o' magic.

Guess overstressed fairies/pixies might like it, too.
Edit:BigPurseSue--plow & hearth has fairy doors! Attach to trees. So cute
ThanksDoes the glass globe use a battery? Or is it hooked up to the neighborhood power grid? I'm hunting for some way to put a little night light in the garden without too much environmental impact.
How wonderful!
Our summers last at least 5 months but we have very destructive squirrels. Day before yesterday, one removed every single blossom on a miniature rose bush on my back deck- the rose bush it ignored for 3.5 weeks.
I think I will put mine on my back deck- I have all I can do to keep my vegetable garden & flower garden out of the mouths of squirrel & deer.
I've got a ton of ideas from Pinterest, but also want to incorporate ideas from the crafty tpf'ers!
Thank you for the photo, remainsilly. Digging the statue!
Your squirrels sound quite batty. In our yard rabbits chew down everything. Late at night I spot them spreading out over the gardens in a small herd, chomping away at the tulip and lily blooms. The squirrels however control the deck. I often find pieces of things like black walnuts that they chew on while sitting comfortably amid the deck chairs.
Will you put the fairy house in a corner of the deck? Or on a rail corner?
I am hearing about this for the first time. It seems quite interesting. I really liked it. How much is the expense to set up a fairy garden???? From where can we collect the materials?
