Fairy Garden Part 2

I decided to take some more pics of my fairy garden because a blogger

asked me where the garden was located.  I set the garden up in an old whisky

barrel.  The barrel sits on one side of my back porch opposite my herb garden.

I was inspired by this little garden fairy to construct a spot for her.

It was really fun shopping for plants and accessories.  I used Irish moss 

for the lawn and miniature phlox to resemble rose bushes. I built an arbor

and nestled it into some needle nose ivy.  I gathered up some small smooth

stones to line the pathways and added some larger river rock around the 

perimeter giving the fairies a place for sun bathing.

Bentley and I collected twigs from our walks around the neighborhood.  It took

me several hours to frame up the cottage and cut each twig to fit for siding.  I pulled

apart a pine cone to use for the shingles on the roof.

Constructing this fairy garden was the most fun I have had in a while.

Now that it is complete I keep thinking ~ what should I make next?
