A Baby Fairy Nursery

Welcome a fairy into your garden

Reconnect your children with nature.

Get them outdoors enjoying the natural world.

It is a good way to encourage them to appreciate and

Respect Mother Earth and our environment.

~ Our Baby Fairy Nursery ~

Crafting a fairy house is easy, just look to Mother Nature for your supplies. We created this Fairy Nursery out of all natural elements, bark, moss, grasses, twigs, stones, feathers, nuts, dried flowers, etc......

We took a journey into the woods and found all the materials we needed.

It was a fun afternoon in itself!

We started with sticks and turned them into a tree.

Tiny gourds strung from the tree swaying gently in the breeze.

These gourds held our new born fairy babies, wrapped in leaves.

A nurse fairy sat in the tree to watch over and take care of the baby fairies.

She consisted of a hickory nut head with hair made from the blossoms of an oak tree and an acorn top hat.

Her dress of dried flower petals and wings of a dried lily pod.

She sits in the tree rocking a baby fairy.

On the forest floor sits a tiny house made of sticks, leaves and moss.

A feather bed inside to change the little ones

and a comfy mushroom chair to sit in.

Moss coveres the ground floor, with a path of pebbles that lead you through the garden to a cozy camfire, to sit a spell, tell stories,

rock the babies and sing to them.

(Complete with marshmallows on a stick to munch upon)

 

Introduce your children

to the wonderful, rewarding and magical art of a fairy garden.

Get them outdoors and enjoying nature.

Help them create their own special space to experiment with plants and garden art. Where they can sit and play, plant flowers, read stores, decorate with their own garden art and let their inagination run wild.

Keeping them busy every year tending and adding to it.

Bringing them hours of enjoyment, accomplishment and

Respect for Mother Earth ~

"When the first baby laughed for the first time,

the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about,

and that was the beginning of fairies"

...Sir James Matthews Barrie (1860-1937)

My entry for The Magic Onions Fairy Garden Contest ~ 2013

Madison's Magical Fairy Garden ~

It all began when I placed a teeny tiny door I made, with a teeny tiny stone walkway leading up to it in my Granddaughter, Madison's outdoor fairy garden.

A garden I gave her to call her own. Where she could sit and play, plant flowers, read stories, decorate with her own garden art and let her imagination run wild.

Well, Madison was certain that fairies were afoot inside that teeny tiny door. Knocking at it every time she came for a visit, asking the fairies to please come out and play. Leaving letters, drawings and gifts for them, as they also returned the favor.
She was always So sad when winter came and the snow covered her garden.
So this year for her Birthday I surprised her with her very own indoor Fairy garden.
A space for her to visit the fairies in the cold winter months.

I placed tiny lanterns at the front to welcome you into the garden. A real pebble path that leads in and around. Tiny wind chimes and flowers all about hidden along the paths in the moss, all made from upcycled earrings.

A moss covered table and chair set, along with a cozy bench from real tree branches and bark, to sit and read or have some tea.

I used artificial ferns, flowers, rolling moss mounds and a leaf circle in the center to bring the garden to life.
And my favorite, a magical gazing ball created using an old lamp finial with a clear marble.

Get your children outdoors or inside to enjoy and appreciate natures' beauty ~
Help them to create their own special space to experiment with plants and garden art.
Keeping their idle hands busy tending and adding to it.
Bringing them hours of enjoyment and accomplishment.

The welcome sign post led you to fun and excitement in every direction. Sweet little fairy houses were scattered under the trees throughtout the woods. Created by so many talented children and their families. Music and Merriment filled the air, along with story telling on a magic carpet under the trees.


Fairy dancers performed and fluttered in the sunshine ~


Face painting, arts and crafts for the children to enjoy! We had a Grand time!



Our entry was a Fairy Nursery. So Very Sweet!

Jewels In The Garden

“Enchanted worlds still exist because the child within us never dies.

The doorways may be more obscure, but we can still seek them out.

There are still noble adventures to undertake.

There are still trees that speak and caverns that lead to nether realms. There will always be faeries and elves within nature because they will always be dancing within our hearts.”
