Teapot Glen


Just in time for Winter, the fairy community pulled together and managed to erect Teapot Glen for the newest arrivals; Grace, Iris, Petunia, Roselynn and Violet. I was able to take a few pictures of them by their respective homes.

There was concern that Petunia might be too young to live alone so Missy the Rabbit is going to be her housemate. This worked out well since they've already become close friends.

The fairy council took notice of Grace's shy demeanor and decided that her house should be placed furthest in Teapot Glen. The community is confident that Grace will socialize more as she becomes more comfortable with her new surroundings.

Iris enjoys the front porch of her new, brick home.

Violet and Roselynn were given the opportunity to live together in this quaint thatch-roof cottage. After touring their home, they decided to relax outside with some pumpkin chai tea, discussing what they've heard about the upcoming plans planned for the Winter Festival.
Here is an overhead shot of the majority of Teapot Glen.

New Arrivals - December


My best friend, June, called me earlier this month with a request.

"I found five little fairies who have no place to call home. Do you think you have room in your Fairy Garden for them? They are so sweet and would be very grateful." I replied "Of course! there is always room in Grandma's Fairy Garden for new faces! I'll tell the other fairies, they will be so happy."

I drove down to Brea to pick up the new arrivals while the garden was abuzz with activity and excitement. There was also a meeting held while I was gone regarding where the new arrivals would stay and it was decided that construction on a new town would begin very soon.

Violet and Roselynn (L to R) - These two fairies were best of friends from the beginning so for them, the move was a bit easier because they have each other.

Grace is a sweet, gentle fairy who is very shy. She is having a difficult time coming out of her shell so she has spent most her time here so far hiding in the fern.

Iris is a sweet little child, outgoing and friendly. With a personality like this, she has had no trouble at all fitting in from the get go.

Petunia is the cutest little thing you have ever seen and the youngest of the new arrivals. She loves playing with all the other fairies and is excited to call this her new home.

The Care of Dragons


Brittania sits down with Princess Jezelle to discuss how to care for dragons. It is currently feeding time as you can see by the orange pellets on the ground.

Lucky spends time with his parents before they leave to take the Queen and the Princess on a month-long tour of other fairy communities.

The carriage is ready to leave, the dragons have said their goodbyes to Lucky and are just waiting on the Queen and Princess.

Queen AmberLynn thanks Brittania for passing on some of her knowledge to Princess Jezelle. They all hope the information will come in handy on their month-long trip. The Queen is sure to remind Brittania that they will be back in time for the upcoming holiday celebration.

Fall Garden Update

Here is an update on my most recent Fall garden. I added moss to cover the area, a few plants and Lucky's parents were visiting at the time so I was able to get them in the photo.

The Queen's Courtyard

Welcome to the Queen's Courtyard. Here you see Queen AmberLynn overseeing the community meeting which is addressing the ups and downs of the Halloween Festival and discussing plans for the upcoming Holidays.

The Fairy Council shares with the rest of the leaders and community representatives what they felt were the pros and cons of the Halloween Festival.

Rose, Tink and Samm suggest that the next holiday celebration be a little more watered down than the Halloween Festival extravaganza. Perhaps then everything will go smoothly.

Andy the Scarecrow sits next to the young fairies Nicholai, Bitsy and Johnny Jump (L to R) who also have opinions on this matter.

Queen AmberLynn does her best to set a good example for her daughter, Princess Jezelle, hoping she will pay attention to the way a Queen runs community meetings since Jezelle will be expected to at some point in the future.

Jezelle had every intention to listen well, but Mr. Blue the Peacock would much rather play and is becoming a distraction.

Despite her efforts, Jezelle finally gives in and loses concentration on the meeting to play with Mr. Blue.

Brittania, Keeper of the Dragons, listens intently whilst Mr. Smokey snuggles up at her feet. Lucky looks on, a bit jealous of the attention Mr. Smokey is getting, but too stubborn to vie for affection.

Fall Fairy Garden Tour: Updates

Last week I introduced two new additions to my Fall Fairy Garden; Woodland Grove and the Council Square. Since then, I have made a few updates and would like to share them with you.



Here we see Woodland Grove. The addition that is most apparent is the moss covering which not only covered a colorless void but also allowed me to utilize the pavers as usable space. The creek is not new but wasn't featured enough in the first introduction. The playground was a bit barren last week, only a playhouse, bench and arbor. As you can see, new additions include a red wagon, a toy box, a buggy, a pink pail, a wading pool with tiny ducklings on their way in and a swing set. It looks like much more fun now!

The following photos are updates to the Council Square, mostly to show my lovely mums which have begun to bloom.

The Fairy Council sit and discuss what a wonderful time they had at the successful Halloween Festival.

The blooming Mums allow the Council to discuss things in private while enjoying the crisp Fall morning air.

Yellow Mums at all stages of bloom.

Fall Fairy Garden Tour: Woodland Grove

Continuing the Fall Fairy Garden Tour, Woodland Grove is a small collection of homes made from nature; mushrooms, tree bark and a hallowed-out gourd. Bobby and Sue, the mischievous duo, live in this neighborhood.


An overall, arial view of Woodland Grove.

This hut was structured from a hallowed-out gourd and topped with a twig roof.

Here is the playground area for the Fairy children, including a mushroom playhouse and a nice seating area for parents with a watchful eye to relax and chat.

Bobby and Sue have just finished their afternoon tea and continue their day of play outside of their tree stump home.

On second glance, it seems they didn't actually drink their tea - they just poured it all out on the ground! Tsk tsk.
