We spotted this ancient fairy home in a woodsy garden in Detroit. And we knew we had to share it with you, as a reminder always to  watch carefully for fairies and their hats, homes and treats.

You may know that three sister fairies lives in our cart and create their version of Italian ice. (That’s where we get our Fairy Ice, though they don’t part with it often or easily.) And we’re sure you know they live in a variety of places in Ann Arbor, and in

Plymouth, Chelsea, Ypsilanti, andRoyal Oak, too.

But did you know that at least three fairy families were spotted in Palmer Park this spring? And that others settled in Detroit, on Belle Isle and in other woodsy areas, aeons ago?  No wonder then that Mity Nice is seriously considering a second location – in the D. We already buy our Italian ice from a lovely old Detroit company.

Naturally we love Ann Arbor – our home turf and a city that appreciates vegan treats and joyful times.  So we will stay firmly rooted in Kerrytown and on Main Street, and expand from there.

Speaking of expand, our third annual Fairies & Fairy Door Festival will grow this year and will take place in September. A lot of details are still being worked on, but the date is either Saturday, Sept. 21 or Saturday, Sept. 28, in a location not far from our cart and the fairy’s ice shop.

And yes, we have heard some of those Detroit fairies plan to fly in for the Fairies & Fairy Door Festival!
