It was so exciting as a little girl! The fairy doors in Ann Arbor remind me of 'my' fairies, Erin, Fyrrel and Cutie-Pie. I don't think anyone is ever crushed by believing in fairies, then later finding out they aren't real. That sense of magic and beauty is a great thing to learn in childhood and it carries on, only attached to different things, as you grow older.

I remember the old plank style of the doors and their absolute intrigue to a little girl who would never go down there alone. "Heart Of The Home"is a digital montage dedicated to my grandparents and their home of over fifty years.
