~ a little fairy garden ~

Susanne of 'Forget-Me-Not' posted about a friend of hers who created a fairy garden in her yard - and she also gave a link to a blogger who creates fairy gardens.  When I saw those, I just knew that I had to try it.  (My Vince and I are in the process of painting the back steps and cleaning up the patio, so please excuse all the mess.) 


I started with a large pot that we had a tomato plant in last year.  I cleaned up the dirt, patted it down and then searched around for a 'house'.  Found this little clay pot, drew on a door and a window with a Sharpie marker, and added a large flat rock for a roof - (it kind of reminds me of 'The Flintstones) - and then added rocks for a walkway to the door.  Another rock with a door drawn on is the dog house for the fairy's tiny best friend.  4 little trees were added and then blue glass gems were used to outline the gardens.  I still need to find a little fairy figurine to complete the garden and I'm thinking maybe a few more small plants of some sort. 

I think it's kind of cute and I had fun creating it - I'll definitely be making some more.  Thanks Susanne!  :)

  4. So cute, Debi! I love fairy gardens. Have thought about making one, but have yet to do so. Maybe someday Adelyn and Gramma Rita can make one together. :)

  5. So creative and fun. I see that you are still working away at the crochet alphabet. :) Hope your day is great. Tammy

  6. My touchstone on this subject continues to be Irene Gallo's collected remarks about what art directors look for in a portfolio site. She stipulated the most important features as being the ability to save to or drag to the desktop right from the full image, and full-image previews. This solution only misses the latter.

  15. Now that little house is so darn cute, yes a Flintstone house, lol Debi, what an inventive idea. After blogging about my friends little gardens I just know I need to do one too. Oh yes, add some small plants to add to yours and I'm sure Hobby Lobby would have all sorts of little trinkets on a miniature scale to delight you. Wouldn't these make wonderful gifts for a friend or neighbor, or a housewarming gift for someone. And thank you dear friend for mentioning my blog.
