I have been inspired by some of my blogging friends to make a fairy garden. I thought about where to do it and how to get the items I needed to make one. I finally decided to make one in my earth box where I grow herbs each summer.
I found the fairies and the little mushrooms when I was in Lancaster on Easter Monday. I had been looking for fairies everywhere. I found some in a catalog for $15 each. I got these for $5 each. The mushrooms were $4.
The fairies are hiding there among the parsley, thyme, chives, sage and basil.
At first I was hesitant to buy all white fairies. I thought about painting them. And I did add a little color with some markers. But they had such sweet faces and really were exactly what I was looking for.
I'm so glad I spent a little extra money to do this. And getting the herbs at Shop Rite for $2 each didn't hurt any either!
The bigger mushrooms I got last year at Rite Aid. They fit right in.
I have a few other little things to add. I figure that I can put a little more in each year. It doesn't have to be all done at one time. That will make the fun last longer.

Kathy, Your garden looks wonderful. I like the little fairies. The mushrooms are perfect in the garden too. My Emma pooh needs to make a new garden here. xoxox,Susie
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteKathy, HOW precious!! It won't be long and your plants will grow and it will just get prettier and prettier. I hope you made drainage in the bottom. Your little Fairies are just lovely..Many Fairies are all white...and I love their dresses. If you can find some moss or baby tears, to lay in where it is now bare..it will really inhance it. Unfortunately I forgot to move mine out of the heat and it burned badly so now I have a lot of work ahead of me when I get well. Right now it doesn't look good..but the other one survived...thankfully. It was under a tree in the shade.

Big hugs!
