a fairy garden

There's something about these images that appeal to me ( found on pinterest).

 

 

I wanted to make us one so we used the power of facebook to track down a broken pot to get us started ( thanks Kylie : ) ). I had a few smaller pots that we used liquid nails to hold in to place and lots of ice/ cactus plants growing at home that I could pick off. J found a fern that he planted in there too.

 Here's how ours turned out. We think that all gardens are made better with a tyre swing so the fairies got one as well as a toadstool to shelter under and a "bunting for when they have parties". It's not finished as we'd like to add a fairy house and maybe some outside furniture.
