Illuminate - Twinkle Trio

I created three new fairy gardens recently. If you're not new here, you know I can create my fairy gardens quickly and with very little cash because I have an inventory of decor at my disposal. So, while one container can be planted with a setting of plants, it can be changed up by adding new decor. Taking it even further, you can add lights to a miniature garden to add ambiance and a few extra hours of enjoyment after the sun clocks out.

Here are three of my most recent container gardens amplified by the faint glow of dispersed fairy lights as well as inner lighting. Some fairy houses I've purchased come with the ability to be lit up, furthering the fantasy that this is indeed an inhabitable dwelling with the indoor lights on, shining out through the windows. It adds an extra charm to it all, don't you think?

Illuminate - Autumn Spirits


This month's featured light post is for this interesting strand of lights that I purchased over the summer on sale at Walgreens. It was $3.95 for this one strand which is battery operated. I am calling them "ghost pumpkins" to be festive.


The scarecrow in the rear is lit up by a well positioned lighted orb - I mean, a pumpkin spirit!


This Farmer's Market stand and bundle of wheat in the rear came from My Fairy Crate subscription box this month. With a closer look at the light, they are entwined in a twisted wire which make for a unique look. I might even be able to use these in a western themed garden and call them tumble weeds.

Illuminate - Color Bursts


Here are my newest garden lights in action. I purchased these on clearance at Walgreens. They were $3.50 each (two strands pictured above) and are battery operated. I do prefer solar light options, but I don't mind having a few battery-powered pieces, especially at clearance price. These lights slowly fade into different colors shown in the video below.



I don't have a specific garden in mind, but they might make good lighting for a July 4 garden. We'll find other uses for them in the meantime. How do you use lights in your garden?
