Hi - My friends and I build fairy houses - and we have a project to send a few to the gulf of Mexico to help the nature spirits clean up that oil mess. We think a house made from sand prayers will help the fairy energy. If anyone one believes in fairies, it's the Irish. Please consider gifting us with a teaspoon of good Irish sand!

Hi - My friends and I build fairy houses - and we have a project to send a few to the gulf of Mexico to help the nature spirits clean up that oil mess. We think a house made from sand prayers will help the fairy energy. If anyone one believes in fairies, it's the Irish. Please consider gifting us with a teaspoon of good Irish sand!
