On Wednesdays and Sundays, I will post photos of the Fairy Gardens that have been entered for all to see.

Here is a link to our fairy garden inspired by The Magic Onions. It was such fun to create and has provided so many adventures since. Thanks for the wonderful idea. My children are so excited for the competition.

We made our fairy garden in early Spring. Since then it has grown, transformed and blossomed more than we could have imagined.It has inspired our girls imaginations and brought such magic to our garden!
Here is a link to the story of our fairy garden.

Here’s another comment, for blogging about the competition.
And another. :)
And one more!
We found a ring of purple flowers early in the spring and I spun a tale of wonder about how they grew where the faeries were dwelling. Well he decided to turn it into a faerie ring embelished with some of dads left over glass work and pretty things from our house. It is still a sanctuary for him many times a day. I never dreamed it would take flight like it has. It’s very simple but It appears to speak to his soul. Can’t ask for more than that!

We just started working on our faery garden this morning. I have a giant bucket (tree-size) that I reclaimed from the side of the road, and we have it spray-painted and ready to paint on the outside. What fun!

My daughter made this fairy garden with her grandfather. She was adamant that the fairies needed a slide and she worked very hard to build it. I love the boots with flowers planted in them.
