Our Fairy Garden (in progress)

To make our yard more inviting for fairies we made a fairy garden. 


The hubs built the box.  I stained, painted, and distressed it.  The ladybug and I planted the greenery together.



We've just begun adding little details to our garden.



including a place to rest their wings...


and a door for the fairies to enter our yard :)

    Oh my, how cute!! I've never even heard of a fairy garden. I have no kids, but I want one for myself! I love how you created your own "drawer." I thought it was actually a drawer! I am definitely trying this!

    I found you through Gluesticks and I'm following you now!!

    How charming. I love your little details like that sky blue door for the fairies to come through.
