Fairy Gardens

This morning my niece Bree posted on facebook that she and her daughter, my great-niece, Tatum are building fairy gardens.  So sweet.  I am also building fairy gardens on my patio.  

As a little girl I was very taken with "wee things" such as little doll toys, play food, tiny trinkets, miniature anything.  In fact it is this fascination with "wee things" that I think has led to my vast Christmas ornament collection.  I just adore little miniature pretties.  

Right now my little fairy gardens just consist of some small things I've collected during the winter.  I bought a little wire bench last Christmas while out shopping with Angie.  The other day I bought some picket fencing at Hobby Lobby. I also got a couple of fairy garden signs while at Hobby Lobby one day.  Two of the little fairy "habitats" were purchased at Hobby Lobby and look like little pieces of wooden logs.   

As soon as it warms up enough to plant something besides pansies, I'm going to start planting wee plants in my fairy gardens.  I have lots of plans for my fairy gardens, including one that I haven't even started on yet!  

Oh by the way, they say that willow flies are fairies in disguise.
