Challenge Accepted - Container Garden Challenge Summer 2019
Yet another challenge put out by the wonderful Denise Jordan over on YouTube. She co-hosted this challenge previously, but I didn't know about it then, so this year I made sure to participate! #ContainerGardenChallengeSummer2019
The final result turned out beautifully! I think it really encompasses Summer, because with this California heat, I might want to go live under the sea soon! This container will be an addition to Fairy Shores once the area gets all cleaned up.

Challenge Accepted - Potluck Tablescape 2019
I recently decided to take a side step out of my comfort zone with a new challenge. Most of the challenges I've participated in have been for my fairy garden or food garden, but I decided to revisit my love for creating arrangements and participate in this month's challenge that requires me to create a tablescape fit for a potluck.
This challenge was a collaboration by YouTubers Mysterious Alberta, Cynthia shesobless and Designs By Vee.
I started with my purple lawn chairs to inspire the color pallet I'd be using in this challenge. From there, I was able to find a colorful tablecloth that set the theme, topped with a bowl of fresh peaches and a floral dining set. I used faux orchids as napkin rings and created a floral arrangement from my garden using swiss chard stems with their purple hue, flowers from radishes and sweet peas, all in a smoky purple vase.

Miniature Garden Challenge - June 2019
I've been joining quite a few challenges this past year, really kicking it into high gear in the past 6 months. I'm enjoying them, but I decided I wanted to put something together for all of my followers. I love seeing your creations and wanted an excuse to show them all off! So this month, I'm asking you to create a miniature garden, fairy garden, container garden - almost anything - and share it with me.
You can email it, share it on my YouTube, Facebook or tag me on Instagram! All social media links are below. Be sure to use the hashtag #JuneFairyGardenChallenge2019

One year as a YouTuber!
On November 6, 2014, with the help of my grandson, I put my very first fairy garden video on YouTube. I joined YouTube to rebel against my granddaughter who had my blog posts on a strict six-picture-maximum diet. I had noticed other fairy garden videos on YouTube that had beautiful music in the background and had begun to take videos myself with my iPad. Knowing that my grandson had experience with recording video and adding all sorts of special effects and music, I went to him for help. Uploads are slow going but my grandson is a very busy young man, working and going to school and still making time for his grandmother's passion without one complaint. As of today, the YouTube channel has 24 videos with 475 views. In an effort to get more views, I am getting brave and plan to talk in them. From silent films to talkies! I'm revolutionizing my YouTube channel. I also plan to do fairy garden tutorials in hopes that I can reach out to people who would like to attend but can't make it to my local fairy garden classes. I've done blog posts about repurposing items but I would also like to make videos.
As always, I'd love to learn what My Fairy Folks would like to see on my YouTube channel. My goal is to double my YouTube subscribers and views by year two and I'd much rather make videos that my viewers want to see.

FAQ: Fairies Answer Questions - Answers
Last month I introduced a new segment to my blog, opening up the floor to my readers by asking them to send in their questions about my fairy garden. I received one question as a reply to that post but will also be addressing a few other questions pulled from other posts as well as my google+ page.
We will begin with a question from Nichole O. who wrote:
"I read about the Queen and the Princess and have even read mention of a neighboring communities King and Queen but I wonder; where is the King of your fairy garden?"
That is a very good question! Some may have wondered the same thing but just didn't ask, so I'm glad it was brought up. My fairy garden does have a King and, no, I have not posted about him yet but will take the time now to explain. Queen AmberLynn is married to King Cormac Mac Fidaig who prefers to go by the title King Mac. He is alive and well but has been away from the community and its subjects for over a year, dedicated to visiting the many fairy communities around the world. As you can imagine, a trip like that would take quite a while and the Queen is expecting his return in six months (which is why she is so set on the new upgrades to the community being finished before then).
The King did not take this trek alone, and just like with the local fairy community tour that the Queen recently returned from with Princess Jezelle, he had ulterior motives. This royal family is a family of four and the last to be introduced; Prince Finn Mac Fidaig who is known by all as "Little Mac." Community tours are essential to the upbringing of a good royal as they offer a peek into how other communities are run and organized, and the family hopes that this tour will inspire Little Mac to be a great leader. The Queen is anxious to hear from her son about his trip, hoping that he has met a princess or two that has caught his eye.
Unfortunately I do not have a photo of either the King or Prince, but when they return I will be sure to do so, after I tell them all about my blog and the people on the internet who are interested in them!
Back in December, a Google+ follower by the name of Herbert S. made an concerning observation; a lack of male fairies in my garden.
"Seems that you would need a few males to keep the fairy population going."
I would like to put everyone's mind at ease. It is true that in my blog and photos, not many males have been captured but I assure you that there are plenty in the community. Most male fairies have been hard at work on construction and I tend to stay away so as not to disturb or distract them. I know how important it is for the renovations to be completed before the King and Prince return and because of certain impromptu projects (ex: five new arrivals in December), I know that they are hard at work to meet that deadline.
Finally, a follower on Google+, Fensterfarm Greenhouse, asked if I had a YouTube channel. In fact, I do. I am slowly reaching out to new avenues on the internet and YouTube is one of my newest - the account is only three months old and there are only a handful of videos uploaded, but just as my blog slowly went from a crawl to a waddle, so too will my YouTube Channel (with the help of my grandchildren, of course). The link to my YouTube Channel as well as my Fairy Garden FaceBook page are always on the bottom of most of my blog posts. Be sure to check it out!
Thank you to those who submitted questions and for those of you who still have questions to ask, be sure to keep an eye out for the next FAQ! (Here's a hint: it will be next week)
