Fairy garden

   

 

I purchased this bird bath after seeing a picture on Pinterest where they turned one into a fairy garden.  We have had a fairy garden for 3 years now.  Reyna discovered a fairy house while shopping at Joanne Fabrics.  She wondered who lives in a such a tiny house and I suggested that maybe fairies do.  I said that perhaps if she brought it home and set it somewhere in our yard a fairy would move in.  She searched the yard for the best place and set the house up and then watched, waiting to see if a fairy moved in.  When the first thing appeared, a little wood bench, reyna was so excited that a fairy had decided to move in.   Throughout that summer little things would be added to the fairy space and every time Reyna's excitement grew and she would spin stories about the fairy and what she does when Reyna wasn't around.  The next summer reyn a moved the house to a new location and more things were added, a pond, and tree stumps, ladybugs and books.  Ducks and chickens, trees and mice.  So this year, the third summer of our fairy garden I set up the bird feeder and a few days later while Reyna was at school I unpacked all the fairy stiff from previous summers and moved the fairy in.  Reyna had been checking the old location since the calendar announced spring (we pack everything up before the snow falls, since winter's here can be long and tough on things, Reyna decided the fairy moves to a warmer climate for the winter and returns with Spring) waiting for her fairies return...I could hear her shouts of excitement when she discovered that the fairy had indeed returned.  Every morning before she goes to school she checks on her fairy and garden.  I will never grow tired of listening to the stories she shares about her fairy.  Little  ones simply have the best imagination!
