The story of how social media helped this 3 y/o’s fairy tale come true is awesome and inspiring
Sometimes the world just feels full of doom and gloom so we loved this story about how a cupboard and some kindness helped give a three year old little girl an adventure where everybody lived happily ever after.

Here’s a tale about how a cupboard and social media made actual magic happen for my three year old daughter, Rachel. (Thread) #fairystory

Every morning on our walk to nursery my three year old asks me what this little three foot door is for and I had no answers for her. Then one day I told her fairies lived there. Oh my life. An obsession was born. #fairystory pic.twitter.com/KXkmTzOSOB

Every day since, she’s asked if she can visit the fairies. Here is is asking for the gazillioneth time. I had to tell her fairies are terribly shy and don’t like visitors. But that didn’t deter her. #fairystory pic.twitter.com/28I3vwnyIa

So last week I asked my friends on Facebook if I should knock on the house this little door belongs to and ask if I could have access to it to leave a note from the fairies and some fairy dust. #fairystory Full post here: https://t.co/hsNyRiyFyr

The general consensus was I should knock and ask. But I felt a total dick, so instead I shared my post on a local community Facebook group #fairystory

A lovely lady called Susie then messaged me to say she knew the mum of the lady who lives in the house with the fairy door and she was going to go and talk to her! #fairystory

The mum went to ask her daughter, Julie, if we could have access to the door. Then she went back to Susie #fairystory

In the meantime I decided we’d write a letter to the Queen of the Fairies and ask if we could visit. If Julie said we couldn’t (which would be totally fair enough!) I could send a letter back to Rachel from the Queen letting her down gently. #fairystory

So we wrote the letter (using lots of fairy stickers, naturally) #fairystory pic.twitter.com/cUCeEG5EZW

(My mum was concerned it wouldn’t arrive anywhere but I said I was sure @RoyalMail could find Fairland 😉 )

I also tried to prepare Rachel for the possibility that we wouldn’t be able to visit the fairies. But her reaction when I said “what if they say no?” Was heartbreaking! pic.twitter.com/LQ4lvGeFwn

Then, Susie messaged me with Julie’s phone number and a message that she would do anything we need to get access to the door. Operation Fairy was on! #fairystory

I managed to have a chat with Julie on the phone and she could not have been kinder about it. We arranged for me to go and set up a little fairy dell behind the door #fairystory

So I crocheted some little fairy bunting and gathered together some other bits and pieces to put in the fairy dell #fairystory
