Creating a fairy garden

I have had fairies on the brain lately as it is getting closer and closer to the fairy
 party that I am having for my granddaughters.  I decided a couple days ago that I
wanted to make a fairy garden so I rounded up some plants, got up this morning
and my little fairy and I did just that.

She wanted to use a small rusty wagon that has been sitting around  for her new home.
We measured it and found that it was approx. 20 inches long x 10 inches wide and
she determined that it would be just right!


She also asked if she could use the wee rakes that are just perfect for her size and I
told her that would be okay so she got busy and went right to work and was done
in no time at all!

That much work tires a fairy out very fast so she decided she needed to take a break
and sit on her beautiful twig chair.

Just look at all the work she did!

A perfect home for a beautiful fairy don't you agree?


While she was getting her home ready she took a tumble more than once! She fell while
 adding the slate path and then again a couple times while planting her flowers.  She sure
 is a clumsy fairy! The first fall blunted off her nose and subsequent tumbles made her
 wings fall off, but her fairy godmother {moi} glued them back on and she is
*practically perfect*. No repairing her nose though. lol.

{truthfully her nose and wings were mishaps quite some time ago}

The best thing about her home is that when it rains her fairy godmother can pull her
home inside the garage so she doesn't drown!

Yep...I think my little fairy is very satisfied with her new home!
Happy Wednesday!!

{Please ignore all the shadows. It is very sunny here today and I did the best I could.
I have also rearranged the slate path a few times and I am still not totally happy with it
 so it may get another makeover...or two.  lol. }

It's HERE...it's HERE ~

It has finally arrived and I am so excited....SPRING! I am ready to get out in the dirt and dig around. A couple days ago I went outside and cleaned up three wheelbarrows full of leaves etc. that didn't get raked up in the fall and I also took my camera out and took some shots. I hope you enjoy them. An angel on my potting shed door..... Garden stake...
Tree face that I love...
Saw this idea in a magazine and hubby and I went right to work a couple years ago. There is eye bolt thingy attached to the door of my potting shed, so I can attach this hook to the door and it holds it open. Love this idea!
Door knocker...
Old cement column...
Guardian angel...
Cement bunny...got two of these at the Goodwill for next to nothing...
I am so glad the longgggg winter is over...or at least I certainly hope it is. Since today is officially the first day of spring ....Happy Spring everyone! Blessings~
