Do you have a Fairy Garden?

That was a question that was asked of me recently
when I was in a "antique" boutique store -
and had this metal arbor in my hands ready to purchase.


The sales woman informed me that it was
for a Fairy Garden - and did
I have one?

I replied no, but I guess I'll be getting one soon!

I made a stop at Hobby Lobby and 'adopted' a Fairy for starters~


I had this planter that was a little weathered
however, perfect for a little Fairy garden


I planted creeping thyme ground cover~


and now I have a Fairy Garden!


This was a fun garden to put together


I won't need to do much more to it ~
the Fairies will be taking over now!


I went online and did some research on
what Fairies like in their gardens~

they like mirrors and shinny objects~


they like mushrooms~


a marker for the thyme planted ~


Fairies like to have a table and chair to rest at
and some sweets and tea
after gardening all day!


they need some garden tools handy~


some moss rocks to step on~


they need just a simple little garden to make them happy ~


Fairy
 -noun:  (in folklore) one of a class of supernatural beings,
generally conceived as having a diminutive human form and possessing magical powers
 with which they intervene in human affairs.


So now I'll ask you ~ ~ ~

  9. I want to shrink down, have tea in this garden and decompress! It looks very serene and relaxing. Maybe I can find a fairy masseuse to join me :-)

  10. How very cute! I was wondering if you grow Columbine in your garden. I have blue, pink and red/yellow ones. It occurred to me that they may have inspired the notion of garden fairies.
    I will be posting pics at my blog soon

  16. Oh my gosh -- you had me for the first two photo's I thought it was life size. Truly lovely, fairy garden -- I made a fairy house one year looked like a large birdhouse made out of sturdy twigs and the roof was lambs ears and the floor was pussy willow, and I made twig furniture out of bent willow and a table and a tea set using nuts and flower pods and green vine fastened into handles for the tea cups and tea pot. and of course you need a little bell for the fairy's to ring. So much fun.

    Happy Outdoor Wednesday,
    Joanny
