Fairy Hollow

 I found a smallish fairy hollow at the base of an oak tree in the backyard when we cleaned out deep beds of leaves. 

Does anyone have any ideas of what weather-proof stuff I could put in there for decoration and offerings?  I'd like to keep it natural, but I feel like I should have some consecrated bowl or offering plate, etc.  I would like to make an offering, too, if possible.

What about a ceramic dish of some sort?

for a plate you can use a mini ceramic one and a thimble for a cup, or the  cap from an acorn.

Over the years I have left the following offerings for fairies:

thimble with juice (done this a lot), a sugar coated edable flower, gum drop, a patch of moss for a bed, wooden furiture I made from sticks, a shiny bead, a tiny bell, a mini wand decorated with colored threads, hand written notes (in very tiny letters), tiny drawings, mini pillow I hand stitched and crossstiched, a mini blanket I crocheted, a mini ceramic tea set, natural gem chips, mini wreath made from greenery and decorated with tiny dried seeds an berries.

There is probably more because I have been doing this for years when ever I come a cross a spot where fairies gather. Hope this generates some ideas!

Amazing ideas!  Thank you.

I was thinking about making a tiny bed with moss and hanging a little mirror, since they like shiny things, but I love the idea of a little bell and a dollhouse tea set.

<3 I've been looking all over for some but we have very few trees here. So instead I made faerie houses! I'll get some pictures when it stops raining so the Faeries can fly away and not get caught in the pictres. <3
