Fairy Gardens

Inspired by an adorable fairy garden that Karen, a friend of mine, made for her daughter I decided to make one for the girls to play with. Karen graciously gave us a wee fairy house to paint to get started with our fairy garden. :) Here are the finished results.

After seeing the Fairy Garden I made Raven decided she wanted to make one too. Here's hers. :)

While Googling ideas for Fairy Gardens for inspiration I saw that one of my favorite blogs The Magic Onions was hosting a Fairy Garden competition. Talk about perfect timing! :)

Things that make my heart happy...
