Fairy Garden

I did this fairy garden myself. I made the fence out of popsicle sticks, bought the house (bird feeder house), made the wire walkway arched trelis out of jewelry wire, and made the table and chairs. The table top was a little pocket mirror I found at Michael's. I also found a pond at a thrift store with a dog drinking out of an old water pump which you can sort of see on the left hand side in the picture. The butterfly is just a clip on I found at Michaels. I also got the two ...»
little potted plants at Michael's as well. The pots didn't come with the flowers, but I had some flowers laying around the house I glued in there. The pebbles for the pebbled walkway & the moss used as grass I got at the Dollar Tree. I got the plants and flowers surrounding the house at Lowes along with the pot it is in!

Floating Candle Display

A month or so ago I posted a picture of floating candle display I made. I just found some floating candles to go in it. Added a little glitter to the water as well.

  • My newly painted house

Newly painted home

Our house was in desperate need of wood replacement and a new paint color. Here is the finished product. My husband went out and bought the hanging baskets and the baskets of flowers hanging over the railing of the porch. The color is like a sea foam green with a darker shade of it on the trim of the house.

As requested - hedges have been cut

A few of you suggested I cut back some of my azalea bushes so that people could see the flowers on the porch railing...here it is!

  • Painted the lighthouse to match living room colors...added some glitter paint to the water to make it pop...ended up adding shiny varnish (sorry Susan! lol).  Intend to put a light inside of it at some point.  Will post a picture when the light is installed.
