Yay for Spring… it’s Fairy Garden time of year again. Kitty, Teddy and I spent our weekend making our new Fairy Garden. A Good Man took us early on Saturday morning to our local swap meet to look for a trunk to plant our garden in. We found the most wonderful old treasure chest instead… just perfect for the magic we had planned. We spent the whole day making our magical garden… a day of fun, laughter and tradition.
A mossy wonderland, filled with tiny fairy treasures… a rusty old arbor decorated with daisies.
A white wicker bench were fairies can sit to enjoy the moonshine on their faces.
And a stone well into which fairies can cast their spells.
And, would you know… as soon as we were done, we settled quietly to wait in the shade of the Plumbago… fairies came.
And tiny birds built nests in the honeysuckle tree.
And gnomes came too!
We planted a miniature land of enchantment in an old pirate treasure chest and have already enjoyed many hours of magic in this kingdom where imagination and creativity shine brightly from the faces of my lucky children.

You inspired me to get out and clean up our fairy garden :). And find more little fairies :)
This looks amazing! I love the idea of a trunk! Very happy to be apart of it and I hope we can make one too!

I am so inspired by your fairy garden. I need to start looking for something we can use as we are trying to sell our house and we’ll want to take it with us.
This is one of my favorite things on your blog. Can’t wait to do it with my daughter one day!
Amazing! Wanted to ask where I got the fairies and gnomes and the little pails and shovels? What did I use for the tire swing?
I love your fairy garden, can you tell me where you bought the fairies for it from? We are heading back to Africa soon and I think it will be fun to build my boys (ages 2 and 4) a fairy garden there but I should probably take fairies with me from here (Canada). Would love your feedback, thanks
I would also like to know where you got the fairies!
This is such a cool idea. We started ours today!
