Good Friday evening, everyone!
I've been playing outside again...
Things have been so busy here that we haven't had a chance
to go to Arkansas for more gourds,
So I thought I would recreate my little "Fairy-Garden-in-a-Kettle"
with a few of this years houses...
(See last year's post about the kettle and garden here ~ )
I still plan on doing a larger "village" in the raised herb bed...
But I wanted to play now...:^)
~
~
I love, love, love using tiny-leaved Thyme as Fairy "landscaping"...
Here I used Common Thyme on each side of the steps,
and Orange Thyme back by the Toad House...
~
~
I know, I have a blogging week's worth of photos...;^)
There are a lot more, actually...
What did we do before digital photography??
(I myself took rolls and rolls and rolls of film...and hoped for the best!)
~
~
Uh, oh!
The Fairy has left her slippers out in the rain!
~
~
The path to a Fairy~Friend's house is never long...
~
~
~
The "Mini" Fairy House...
~
~
Aren't these little Pansy "faces" sweet?
And the yellow and white striped Calibrachoas ~ "Lemon Slice" ~
(Love that ~ I am such a pushover for a name!
I think companies that don't name their products (no matter what they are)
...or maybe just number them ~
are totally missing the boat, don't you agree?) ~
were an early Mother's Day gift (as well as the Alyssum) from daughter Katie...:^)
♥
~
~
~
These don't even look real, do they?
They look like little silk flowers...but the are a "mounding perennial"...so pretty!
Neon Rose Saxifraga...
Tiny and very "Fairy-ish"~looking!
~
~
I'll post a tutorial for these on Saturday...another fun little project!
~
~
We found this rock that looks like a little cave
in a creek near Meramac Caverns...
I made a little polymer banner...in the hope that we see Peter (the Toad) again this year...♥
~
~
Not Peter, but cute...
~
~
~
Have a fabulous Saturday, all!
Check back tomorrow evening for the LadyBird
~ umm ~ LadyBug house tutorial!

Your fairy garden is absolutely brilliant! Whimsical and I wish I could just shrink and take myself there! And those pansies! What darling faces...
