Humble, Small Beginnings

The following pictures come from my fairy garden. They are small groupings of whimsy that I have put together this year and plan to expand on into the new year. My goal is to introduce you to them now and, upon completion next year, show you before-and-after comparisons of the evolution of these groupings. Enjoy.

These fairies are hard at work, making this potted soil their home, equipped with gardening tools and a wheel barrel and watering can in the background.

Here is an outdoor patio where my fairies like to rest after a hard days work.

These fairies sit together, shooting the breeze, while the other
fairies are down below, working hard.

Here is the Queen Fairy. She oversees life and growth in the fairy garden.

A Wee Baby Mushroom Fairy sleeps amongst the flowers, after a long
day of play. She is almost camouflaged.

Another Wee Baby Mushroom Fairy wonders what game should he play next?

I found this lone mushroom growing amongst the flowers in my Fairy Garden.

This is the Tree of Wisdom. Fairies and other animals - pictured here
are a porcupine, dragon and birds - like to gather around and listen
to the tales he tells.

The start of my English Cottage Gardens.

Aurora is enjoying a beautiful morning outside her mushroom cottage.

A Fairy Staycation is much more enjoyable when you
have your very own beach!

Yet another cottage in the neighborhood. Gnomes and Fairies are known
to live together, each pulling their own weight, of course.

This cottage is move-in ready! Perfect for a single tenant or small family. Contact your Fairy realtor today.

This Fairy dwelling surely has younglings. As you can see,
there is a fairy play house out front for them.

Bitsy sits under an arbor, enjoying the company of a butterfly
and the lovely afternoon.

Welcome to Grandma's Enchanted Fairy Garden

This is the first scene I set up in the BBQ. Most of these items were things I already
had in my house. If my garden had a theme at this point, it would be titled 'repurposed.'

I started my Fairy Garden three years ago. 

I was inspired by an article I saw in a gardening magazine that featured a few lovely fairy gardens. I told my husband about it and his response was "why don't you start it in the BBQ in the backyard, by that old lemon tree?" So that is what I did; I cleaned up the area around the BBQ, dug up the dirt around the lemon tree, replaced it with wood chips and it has only expanded from there (I will have an entry detailing this repurposing at a later date). 

Since then, I'm sure my husband regrets giving me the go ahead and I only have plans to expand further once I fully retire.

My family has helped me in so many ways to realize my passion for fairy gardens. My husband bought me a wonderful computer to help me connect to the world wide web and my grandchildren helped me learn about Facebook, Pinterest and my newest venture, blogging.

Through this blog I hope to connect with other fairy garden enthusiasts. I hope I can inspire people to expand or experiment with the hobby I feel passionate about and I look forward to sharing stories, photos and tips with my followers.
