The Fairytale Fridge

We just had a delivery of fairy mail all the way from Texas! These pieces are just lovely and fit the Fairytale Fridge so well. ✨🧚🏼‍♀️🍄

Thank you so much Kristin for taking the time to send us this beautiful package!

p.s. if you see webs around the mailbox, keep an eye out for Harriet! She’s a friendly little jumping spider who calls our mailbox home. 🥰

Our guest book went missing yesterday sometime. I was hoping it was a mistake and it would be back today, but still nothing.

If you happened to end up with it, we would love to have it back. We are so sad to be missing all of the wonderful messages from our visitors. 🥹💕

We hit the jackpot on our way home from yard sales today! Someone in Elsinore had a bunch of boxes of free stuff on the curb and there were so many fun trinkets and books. The fridge is loaded up with goodies. 😊

Thank you whoever you are! If anyone knows who it was, please tag them! ❤️

✨ Fridge Drawer & Craft Kit Update ✨

Last week’s Craft Kit of the Week was one of the busiest days we’ve ever had! It was fun seeing so many visitors, but after I posted there was a whole lot of chaos and I realized it wasn’t the kind of magic (or traffic 😅) we want to create.

One of my favorite things about the fridge is the thought of someone stopping by and finding an unexpected treasure, so we have decided to go back to random kits. Instead of crafts in the bottom drawer, we have moved them into a crate next to the kid’s books to give us a smaller container to manage and a little less pressure in this area. 😊

That brings me to the bottom drawer... A recent large donation had a bunch of bigger stuff and made me realize how fun it would be for the drawer to be a “community swap” space. Life is so expensive right now and I love that the fridge has become a little stop for free joy, this will help us expand on that a bit! For the bottom drawer, we’re envisioning things like puzzles, games, small toys, decor, and other gently used family items that deserve a second chance to be enjoyed.

If you have something you think could be used by another family, feel free to swap it straight into the drawer if it fits or you can leave donations in the tote behind the library (or our porch if needed). Please make sure donated/swapped items are clean and in good condition. I’m a busy homeschooling mom who also runs a couple of businesses and while I would love to be a full time Fairytale Librarian, I only have so much time to spend on the fridge and I would rather not spend it cleaning up sticky toys.

Thank you for supporting this crazy, little project and all of its evolving adventures and for reading my incredibly long posts! 😆❤️✨

Yesterday we received one of the biggest donations The Fairytale Fridge has had so far! This photo just does not do it justice or show even half of it and I wish I would have laid it out for a better picture. ❤️

We came home with boxes of books, games, trinkets, craft supplies, costumes, toys, clothes, and all kinds of other fun surprises for the fridge. As I started sorting through everything, it also helped me clarify the vision for a few areas of the fridge, which will lead to some exciting updates soon, so keep an eye out for a separate post!

A huge thank you to Jody Erickson (it's not letting me tag you for some reason) for trusting us with so many wonderful treasures. The items you have donated will create so many little moments of joy in the fridge!

Thank you so much for helping us keep the magic going. We are so grateful for the amazing people who continue to support this little project. ✨

We have an answer to our question! The wiggly visitors are most definitely book worms and even more showed up yesterday! 📚🐛

Aren’t they the cutest bookworms you’ve ever seen? 🥹 The hair mustache are killing me. 😆
