Speaking of hobbies, we enjoy gardening but not the bugs! Especially the bees :) ! On one of our road trips we stopped in the local Nursery and saw some Fairy gardens they were making. You all know I love vintage and Bob has a passion for Fairies. I'm not really sure why but he does.
So I need to make a Fairy garden. They had some really expensive stuff for the boxes or planters and even more expensive Fairy cottages. I knew I could make it cheaper so it was off to Wal-Mart. I found a Rubbermaid container for $5.00 and the planting mix for $5.00 Saving so far is $26.00. We happen to have a boat load of Department 56 houses since we down sized our home years ago they haven't been out of the boxes! I chose this one for our garden and the little girl was a mother's day gift from my daughter that was put away for safe keeping. The Fairy was outside in a window box. The only things I purchased were the plants, the ledge and the gazebo.
I'm off the early morning so I can catch up with all the blogs then.
Have a wonderful day!
