Needed Items:
Glass Aquarium, no lid
rich potting soil
small ferns (they don't need direct sunlight)
small white pebbles
natural rocks form outside
thimble
willow twigs
1. Clean out aquarium with soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals. Vinegar is a brilliant cleaner and shines up glass nicely.
2. After the aquarium is cleaned, fill the bottom of it up with around four inches of potting soil.
3. Plant the ferns.
4. Put in a thin layer of white pebbles.
5. Gather a few larger stones for the faeries to sit on, place them inside the aquarium.
6. Dogwood or willow twigs can be used to make more faery furniture. when bound together, they make nice little lean-to's
7. The thimble can be used to leave juice offerings inside the aquarium. Be sure to keep the thimble clean and place fresh juice in it each night before bed.
Faery Aquarium
Princess Edane... heard a voice singing on a May Eve like this, and followed half awake and half asleep, until she came into the Land of Faery, where nobody gets old and godly and grave, where nobody gets old and crafty and wise, where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue. ~William Butler Yeats, "The Land of Heart's Desire," 1894
Some people consider the $1 bill unlucky because there are so many 13's on it: 13 stars, 13 stripes, 13 steps, 13 arrows and even an olive branch with 13 leaves on it. Of course the $1 bill is unlucky - if it was lucky it would be a $100 bill.
