Boy have I been mia, or what? It's been so busy around here, I just had to take a little break from posting. Now that it is officially a new month, I'd better get back into the swing of things! I'm still going to cheat a bit and do a short post. One of the many gardening projects I had on my list was making this faerie garden. I still have some tweaking to do, but it is mostly finished. The center piece of the garden is a Pink Fairy rose and I am quite excited to have found three tiny buds getting ready to bloom! The other plants I used were lemon thyme, mother of thyme, pink baby's breath, silver mound and sea pinks. The faerie house was at one time a bird house I picked up at the craft store and cut out a door opening. I decorated it using sparkly faerie colors. I hope you notice that I also have some wee faerie sheep, I am hoping to attract some spinning faeries to the little garden and I am on the lookout for a faerie sized spinning wheel!
I hope you have a delightful weekend! Blessings Friends!
oooh, I adore this garden. Yes! You must have a fairy sized spinning wheel. I bought a metal pencil sharpener shaped as a traditional wheel. The size might be right but...I think your fairies need a wooden wheel. Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to see you posting again! I'm happy that you took the time you needed to 'refresh', and happier, still, that you're back here with us. I missed you!!
ReplyDeleteThis project is another cunning and adorable one, Melissa. You are so inventive and creative!! XXO-
Oh wow, I actually made a little squeaky noise when I saw that. SO COOL! Is it weird that I'm kind of dying to walk up the path and plop down with the sheep? No? Good.
ReplyDeleteOh my that is adorable. I love that tiny rose!!
ReplyDeleteHee hee... this is so cool. I've had a faerie garden on my list for quite a bit now too... the boys will surely love to help. Although we'll probably end up with monster truck and lego loving faeries.
ReplyDeleteVery cute :) My kids would just LOVE this - I better not show them or I'll have to make one ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is beyond adorable!! A tiny wheel would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis garden is so whimsical! I love the idea of the sheep and the spinning wheel!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! This is so adorable, and yes, a wooden spinning wheel will be perfect there. You didn't mention the base of the garden, is it a bird bath?
ReplyDeleteI didn't even think to mention the base, I've had it for about three years, it's a really great footed planter that I picked up at Lowes. It looks like cement but it's some kind of resin material. (I've got two of them and they make everything I plant look great!)
DeleteI saw those wee sheep; a spinning wheel is definitely in order.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm glad to see you back as well. I was wondering where you had disappeared to - nice to see the faeries didn't get you. :)
Thanks for all the great comments, you guys are wonderful! Thanks for the nice welcome back!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet....love all your attention to detail. Good to hear from you again.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, I'm in love with that garden! It makes me wish I had a little girl to plant one with. Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathryn! I wish I had a little girl too, fortunately my inner child is happy to lend a helping hand!
