Children At Play Series - Pt 6: The Hand Basket

This hand basket was a gift from one of My Fairy Folks and has quite a unique and natural look to it. I felt like it would make a great place to house a small fairy garden! I really enjoy how this scene looks unkempt and natural; as if you were deep in a forest, off the trail, and found an apple tree and neighboring treehouse that you're unsure is occupied.
This basket came lined with plastic which will protect the wood from rotting due to watering. Wood rot is natural but can be prevented with care. The plastic wrap protects the inside but you can protect the outside by making sure it is in a dry area, not reached by sprinklers and is set on something like a paver, not soil or anything that will retain moisture. 
These two items, the house and the tree, were from Jo-Ann. I get many of my small fairy accessories from Jo-Ann because they sell them year-round and have new items out for each season and holiday. Small groupings of plants can be found at your local garden center and I used left over moss and rocks from previous projects.
