When Allie Gates saw an ad for a local estate sale, she knew she had to visit. There were tons of gorgeous picture frames for sale, and that was exactly what she needed. But when she arrived at the home, she ended up finding so much more than frames. Once she started chatting with the folks running the estate sale, it didn’t take long for them to realize Allie had something in common with the woman who used to live there.

Sadly, this woman had passed away, which is why they were having the estate sale. But while the woman was alive, she managed to create a stunning collection of fairy-related figures and mini houses. She had so many, in fact, that she transformed her backyard shed into a fairy wonderland. While this area wasn’t necessarily apart of the estate, they were happy to share it with Allie. Catch a glimpse of this magical place in the video below!
