My In Progress Fairy Garden

Posted by jac3crafty SK Canada (My Page) on

My kids and I have decided we need to build ourselves a fairy garden. We have been thinking about this for quite some time now. My oldest son who is 10 did not think it was so cool until I told him he could build his own houses and we will make it sort of town like. It is basically my daughter and I who will have the most fun with it.
First of all I have searched all over the net for ideas for how to lay it out. I have found a few but not as many as I would like. The one I have found shows a house at the top. Why don't I just post the link.
Anyway, now what I am going to do is post a pic of the house I have built and would like some suggestions or comments. A friend of mine told me to attatch the pine cone shingles. I just want to see what everyone else has to say about it.

That is adorable! You are a wonderful Mom to take time with your kids like this. They will never forget the summer they built the fairy garden. And usually 10-year-olds are really into modeling, which this is.

I want to see pictures of yours! I have many of the stuff from thfairysgarden.com and we are always adding hommade stuff to it. If you want to see a picture of mine, email me and I will send you one! I really need to learn how to post. Our four children ADORE the fairy garden, even our 7 yr old boy. Your son might like one of our favorite additions: a fairy tire swing made of a toy truck tire! We have a fairy tractor tire sandbox as well now!

http://www.reg-fairygarden.co.uk/ is my new fairy garden. I started it in mid January 2005. I started off as a simple addition to my garden and has now taken over most of my time this year.
The garden is open most days through the year and it is raising funds for charity.

This is a wonderful project, I build dollhouses, and I have always wanted to put a little village in my garden. We purchased our home in Nov. so this is my first year with a garden and I intend to incorporate some houses into it.! So much fun!
