All pieces are made and hand painted by my Dutch husband, Jan Kohler, first name is pronounced yan, that’s Dutch for John. He has been an architectural illustrator since 1986. Now that I’m a very grown up girl (and a grandma) he is making doors so little people know they are welcome in our home. You can decide if you want to welcome fairies, elves, gnomes or brownies or you may just appreciate architecture and hand painted doors.
Fairies and other little people are said to bring good luck and are magical though sometimes mischievous. I think they also bring us happiness and help us make our wishes come true if we just believe.
When I was a little girl, many years ago, my parents and sister and two baby brothers lived in a tiny house three miles to the village and we had no electricity or running water in the Ohio valley that is now a part of The Edge of Appalachia Preserve. It was a magical few months where we climbed the cherry tree, followed the creek, danced in the meadow, played make believe with the woodland animals and chased fire flies in the evening.
One rainy day we pressed our noses to the window and complained that we couldn’t go out to play. Mother said, “Look, watch closely and you can see the rain drops dance like little fairy ballerinas.” Her suggestion was all it took to imagine fairies fluttering, dancing and twirling gracefully with raindrops rolling off their arms and legs.
My hubby’s adorable doors now transport me to a time never forgotten.
