Another new project for me.

Just started this spring. I am going to try to construct some true fairy houses.

I have one, the rest are bird houses.

It's kind of hard to see in the photos but some of the faires have watering cans, hoes, rakes etc.

Any ideas where I might find other "fairy size" stuff???

I'm also doing an area with larger fairies. I'm posting a photo of the beginning of this one. The tree has lots of "personality" and I'm trying to work from that perspective

Very nice.

I've only got one fairy in my garden so far. Here's a pic from last year.

Thank you
The day lily is Stella d'oro, and the hostas are Striptease in the lower left and Sum & Substance on the right.

Very Kewl....

I would do something simmiler under my trees near the road. But I am worried that someone will come by and take the stuff. It's a dead end road. Not many people come down the road unless they live here, have businees here or visit one of us.. But , we do get wanders, sight see'rs. One never knows..

I like what You did.

I love your fairy garden! You could plant some white coral bells. My sister and I used to sing this pretty song in a round when we were young and it always seemed so enchanting. I didn't know what "white coral bells" were back then and thought they were tiny, tinkling silver bells that made the faintest chime when the wind blew.

White coral bells upon a slender stalk;
Lily of the Valley deck my garden walk.
Oh how I wish that I could hear them ring;
That will happen only when the fairies sing.
