My small doors
I bought these two Enchanted Fairy Doors in 2007. They are dated 2006 and are made by Don Mechanic Enterprises. The dimensions are 10″H x 5.5″L x 2.5″W.
Fairies have always been around us. Recently they have ventured out of the forest looking for new places to live. By placing an Enchanted Fairy Door in your home or garden you will invite the magical creatures into your home where they are sure to bring good luck!

Desperate, Jack attempts to lure the four-legged jailer who holds the keys to his freedom. Will Jack manage to escape, or will he face the gallows in the morning and be hanged as a pirate? Well, Jack has escaped from desperate circumstances before, and he is, after all, Captain Jack Sparrow …
This was a 2007 birthday gift from my wife. It’s from one of my favorite architectural model makers Timothy Richards.
Dexter Gate is a familiar landmark to all Harvard graduates. On the face of its lintel is carved “enter to grow in wisdom” and on the reverse, “depart to serve mankind”. Harvard commissioned this bookend to commemorate the centenary of this landmark.
