Truth be told, I have always been fascinated with fairies. Growing up learning fairy tales then discovering the flower fairies by Cecily Mary Barker encouraged my fancy for them, so making a special place for the fairies sounded fun to me. And I had just the place for it...
Our front flower garden...
Look close and you will find a world within a world! Complete with a colorful pebble path and a tiny spinning wheel.
Nestled among the flowering White Phlox and Irish Moss is a shelter made from the bark of a London Plane Tree. A tiny lantern hangs at the entrance and a flickering light deep within beckons fairy friends.
Here the fairies build pebble monuments and leave flowers and special stones as tokens of affection.
A few steps away, near the lavender bush, they had a dance under a shimmering crystal.
An abandon nest makes a comfy bed.
Under the hastas they keep their walnut shell boats safe...
waiting for nightfall and fun in a nearby waterfall.
and two little boys who wonder...
"Are fairies real?"
My response is always the same...
"What do you think?"
Just beautiful. You have thought of so many details. I remember those cute little walnut shells from my childhood. My grandma made them into beds for little pussy willow mice. We hung them on the Christmas tree.
