I was reading Gretchen Rubin's Happier at Home: Kiss More, Jump More, Abandon a Project, Read Samuel Johnson, and My Other Experiments in the Practice of Everyday Life, and she mentions these enchanting miniature buildings made by Charles Simonds, “Dwelling places for an imaginary civilization of “Little People” who are migrating through the streets of neighborhoods in cities throughout the world...”

These tiny sculptures are SO delightful - even tinier and more adorable than the fairy rooms dotted around Ann Arbor - I just had to share.

Rubin also at one point lists her favorite children's book authors, including Mary Stolz, "who didn't get the attention she deserved," and I pumped my fist in the air in agreement. The one author she mentions whom I haven't read is Kristin Cashore... maybe I should finally give Cashore a try?
