Foraging Fairy Furniture While Querying

I sent a set number of queries for Birthday Ranch and set it aside to wait for responses (🤞). In the meantime, I’m writing micro and flash fiction to submit to literary journals. My latest story is about a fairy who lives in a dollhouse.

It’s been fun thinking up objects they find in the forest to furnish the dollhouse and make it a home. It’s springtime here in beautiful Charlotte, North Carolina, and all the blooms and blossoms seem like fairy stomping ground.

Lachlan and I decided to take a walk for inspiration and snapped a few pics:

Red azaleas make lovely dresses or curtains.

Glorious tulips perfect for cups, chairs, sinks…

What are these? They look like little hula skirts. Or maybe brooms.

This bog could be the setting for a creepy scene.

One happy golden retriever.
