Cute Fairy Garden Accessories

Here's a whole kit of fairy garden stuff from HERE A little pricey for me but it sure gives you some ideas of cute little things to be looking for. Once the mud clears up here...if ever....I am off to put some moss in my beds....this weekend is booked with graduation stuff....but one evening next week will work!!!

Fairy Garden Progress

This is a photo of the square stone I mentioned that I bought at the dollar store...for ummmm...a dollar. I thought the saying was particularly cute for a fairy garden. I decided to use it in the front bed because more people will see it there.
Here is one of the fairy rings. It's a little hard to see but the center piece is the stone fountain. With a fairy to the left and the wooden walk way. Of course I still need to add the ferns and flowering moss. The picture below shows a little closer up.
Here is the second fairy ring and all it has so far is a little house I picked up at the flea market for 25 cents. I am going to plant moss in a circle around the edge of the ring. I am not sure what other tidbits I will find to decorate this fairy ring.
Both of the rings will be surrounded by day lilies and hostas once they get growing for this season. They are up but they get a lot bigger within the next month!

Working on the Fairy Gardens

Today is shaping up to be a beautiful day outside. I am working on my Fairy Garden that is in the front of the house along our walkway. I took apart an old garden barrel that was falling apart and used the two rings from the barrel to create two round fairy gardens among the day lilies and hostas. They are only partially finished but if I get a minute I'll snap some pictures to post for you. The two rings sort of highlight the fairy section and yet blend in nicely. Otherwise I was afraid the tiny stuff would get lost among the larger plants. One of the rings has the little stone water fountain, another piece of decor picked up at the dollar store, a stone fairy, a wooden walkway and two pretty flat stones...The other ring has just a little house in it right now.

I am really itching to actually plant a few flowers in the rings but here in Missouri people warn against planting before Mother's Day so I will have to wait until next weekend!! I am thinking about a couple ferns and some flowering moss. Well back to work...I just came in to put on a load of laundry...then I have a bit of a mess on the walkway to clean up!!!

Fairy News

Well I found the cutest little stone (flat and square) at the dollar store...it says "With Grateful Hearts Gather Here" isn't that the cutest little saying for a fairy garden? I actually put it in the flower bed at the front of the house...right next to out sidewalk. I had a bush (small one) die in this bed so I am sticking in a few annuals to fill the space this year. I thought I'd throw a few fairy items in for good measure. The rest of the bed looks splendid with hostas and day lilies. I also placed a little stone fountain that I picked up at the flea market for 25 cents. It's suppose to have a battery for water to flow...but Ijust thought it looked cute as a fairy fountain so its in the front bed also. There are a couple of fairly small fairy statues at Walmart that I plan to pick up and stick in this bed also...I'll try to take a few pics soon so you can see this tiny area of the bed...the weather is warmer but I'm not planting anything until AFTER Mother's Day!!!
