Some Fairy Garden Decorating

At the farmer's market this evening, Lucy collected some sticks and flowers to decorate her fairy garden. We tied some ribbon on the sticks and she stuck them all around the garden. That fairy garden is getting quite crowded! 

Fairy Garden Update

A while back I posted about a fairy garden post I ran across from The Magic Onion's blog. Lucy and I have been having so much fun with making our own! This past weekend we took a walk into town and went by a garden shop. I thought Lucy and I could see if we could find anything inside to add to our garden. As soon as we stepped inside we saw an actual fairy garden! Here it is below:

We were so excited! We walked inside further to find shelves of little fairy garden items for sale- furniture, gardening tools, houses, gazebos and other accessories. Lucy chose some gardening tools, a mushroom and a little lamp (so her fairies could see at night) to buy and add to our garden.

Here she is doing a little gardening~

She decided to put the lamp right in the middle where her fairies could see it easily. Our next plan is to try to make some little stepping stones with some sea glass we've been collecting and to get her fairy's wings repaired.

Our First Fairy Garden

I ran across this fairy garden contest- Fairy Garden Contest- 2012, and was inspired to try it with Lucy. Seeing as how she is obsessed with all things fairy and imaginary play, I thought it would be perfect! We set off to find a container, soil and other goodies to start it off with. Here is Lucy with the fairy garden after day 1.

A few days later we added some strawberry plants and a pinwheel. She was also determined to have some fairy dust to sprinkle on it daily. Here she is sprinkling some in the pool.

Eventually Lucy painted a fairy house to add to the garden, and together we made two fairies to live there. They are enjoying it, (although I just can't seem to find a way to keep their wings from falling off.) 

Sometimes Lucy takes the fairies on an adventure in some sort of flying carriage she's created. Here they are visiting her secret garden. 

Flying into the tree....

Can't wait to see what she comes up with next! She's having a blast, and I've enjoyed working on it with her and watching her play from afar.
