calling all fairies!
Our weekend, so far, has been absolutely splendid! Lots of planting, enjoying the wonderful weather, bike rides, splashing in the rain and rest.
I have been planning to create a fairy world with the kids ever since I noticed Ellie and her friend making impromptu campsites last Fall. They are so clever and full of imagination!
So, when my husband created 6 raised gardens for me, I knew the front 2 had to be Ellie’s (with the help from Simon and Peppy, and me…ahem!). Yesterday in the rain, Ellie and I ran to our local hardware store and were giddy with ideas. I can only imagine what the guy nearby thought of us discussing the magical powers of a cosmos plant!
We used lots of rocks, sticks, and pine cones from our backyard and added seashells as well. Good thing I am putting to use the 40 lbs. of seashells I hauled from North Carolina.
What I love about this project is that it gives my kids a reason to search in nature and give their treasure a new use. It’s also the first thing someone sees as they walk up to our home- love it.
I can’t wait to watch the early morning walkers stumble upon our new land.
