Fairy garden...

Remember this cute fairy garden from the garden walk I went on...


so sweet...I really have been wanting to make one, but I though I would start out small....

                                                  I already had this cute bird house...


I filled the bottom with gravel...


then put baby tears and made a gravel path...

added a sweet pink fairy...


sweet vintage birds, buttons and forget me nots...

the fun thing was I just used treasures I already had so all I bought was the baby tears...


so I know what you will be doing this weekend!

    This reminds me of the little Japanese gardens we used to make in pie plates when we were kids using pebbles and moss for grass ... this is so sweet. Thanks for sharing. I just may have to make one!
