In addition to cleaning up my flower gardens in the fall, I also clean up my fairy garden. I remove the fairies and paraphernalia, wash them up, then store everything away until spring.
Then I place a winter scene in the garden, with a single component; a fairy sitting next to a snowy tree. Even though, in “normal” winters, snow covers it up for most of the season, it’s fun to place this ornament outside to have a winter fairy scene too.
Of course, this non-snowy winter the garden has not been covered in snow, and you can see the fairy and tree easily.
However, it has been invaded by an alien.
The other day as I was walking by, I noticed a small figure next to some glass mushrooms I forgot to put away last fall. When I picked it up, it looked like an alien. I trust it’s a friendly one.
I will add him to my ever-changing and expanding fairy garden this spring.
It’s fun to know others notice this whimsical little world, tucked away under a rose bush in my back yard.
Maybe the little alien guy is what fairies look like on other planets! Very fun contribution to your whimsical landscape creativity.
I like that theory! I’m going with that…
I love that someone added this alien to your fairy garden. That shows me they appreciate your magical world. And that they have a great sense of humor.
I agree. I do see from our window some folks/kids stop and look at the fairy garden.
That makes me happy. 😉
Such an enjoyable task – setting up a fairy garden. Love the whimsical nature of them. Love the alien addition. It will keep you on your toes as other visitors stop to enjoy it!
It is an enjoyable task. I can picture you setting up a fairy garden…maybe on your terrace?
funny!
Remember when we shopped together for them?
Yes, I do. 😉 I’ve added to my collection. 😉
