I stumbled across this Fairy Grove website with some interesting pictures.
Especially of interest to me was the little 'fairy shoe'
as I remember seeing something of the sort in a museum in Dublin.

It is apparently made with mouse leather. The shoe in the irish museum I had seen was also very, very tiny
and uncovered in a peat bog. It looked like it had been worn as it showed considerable wear to the heal and the
leather!

I saw that photo in a book about the potential for real faerie's and was amazed a it! It is very very small and the way it was made, there was no way the stitching could have been stitched so tiny by human hands… very interesting.

that and the dress are the two best artifacts in my opinion. I don't know what to think of the remains. They could be real or be hoaxes I just don't know that's something I'd want to look at. If you remember the video in the other posting it looked a lot like the mumified creature with wings. The older mummy I think is human but died of a genetic defect known as anecephaly bascially born without a skull or brain. … the brainstem is sometimes there allowing the infant to live a short period of time before dying. If you run into something that you suspect sidhe left behind I would keep it as a magical article keep it secret and keep it in a safe place. It's usually not by accident that things are left. Allowing it to touch the ground or talking about it according to folklore will destroy the magical properties that may have been left with the intent to help. I don't know for sure if that's true I understand that folklore is not always accurate but I would assume it correct in this case unless otherwise stated.

Some of the photos from that website are hoaxes, like the Cottingley fairies and the mummified faery. I do think that the fairy shoe could be real, it's not easy for a human to craft a shoe like that.
