The Fairy Garden

I've been quiet this week, cleaning, clearing and preparing the fairy garden. I didn't have one last year and this year I scaled back. I chose to keep things quiet this year and I'm glad of it. Sure, it means less money... but it's far more charming in a way, the magic is more intimate.

Here are some pics from today's very quiet fairy garden.

This bluejay perched on my sign first thing this morning and screeched to the feathered kingdom that there was free birdseed to be had.

And this fellow didn't care one bit that it is BIRD seed.

There are berries abound, just ripening.

While gnomes don't have a reputation for being exceptionally bright ~ I think that placing your reading chair directly beside a berry bush for snacking is a brilliant idea.

The fairies from the fallen tree at the bottom of our hill have moved to a young tree close to the house. Hopefully they'll spruce the place up. (You have no idea how much I wish that was a spruce tree so that joke would be wildly punny.)

The fairies dranks an enormous amount of tea today. I would expect nothing else.

Just a few members of my gnome army were out playing in the garden today.

I'm sure someone is charging for this space under the deck.

BTW, if you ever need to distinguish between a troll and gnome camp, trolls always display their collection of stolen socks. If you have an abundance of odd socks... you probably have a troll infestation.

Finally, probably my favourite addition to the garden ever...

How much fun is this?!?! I can hardly stand it.

Big fat fairy wishes from this years little fairy garden.

  8. Love your forest with all the tennie tiny little dishes and furniture. I myself have never seen fairies, but I believe in one of your photos I caught one peeking behind the flowers. Probably ready to have their tea party. Love that the trolls have/had wine to drink. What a very very happy place for these little folks. Your posts always brings happy smiles to me too. Thanks for sharing the great photos.

  11. Absolutely enchanting! Spirals, fairy houses, gnomes, berries, books. . . and I was just looking up old terms for flowers/plants for my fantasy novel and learned that foxglove had been called fairy fingers once upon a time! This instantly moved it up my favored flower list (it was already top ten) :) Thank you for always creating such magic and inviting us in. . .

    Dr joy is a trust worthy spell caster and he will be of great help to you. I never believed in spell casting but After 4 years of marriage my husband left me because I lost my womb, and i was unable to give birth to children. I felt like my life has come to an end, and i almost committed suicide, i was emotionally down for a very long time, but thanks to this spell caster called Dr joy whom i met online after my friend Becky Ross told me how he also helped her to bring back her husband in less than 2 days. I believed her and decided to give Dr joy a try and i contacted him on his email [email protected]. and explained my problems to him. He laughed and told me that In less than 2 days, my Husband will come back to me again, and that he will restore my womb and i will give birth to children. At first i thought it was a joke but i took courage and believed as Dr joy has said and it did happen just as this Great spell caster said, My husband called me and was crying, begging for forgiveness. I forgive him and today i am so glad that all worries and problems has gone away, and we are even happier than before, another good news is that i am pregnant now, and very soon we will have our baby. Dr joy is really a gifted and a powerful spiritual man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man. I advice you all If you have a problem and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster to solve all your problems just Contact Dr joy on his email on [email protected]. because he will always help you to solve all problems. Once again thank you Dr joy. Thank you, thank you.
