It's a gorgeous Fairy Tale, though... a definite keeper! Lovely photos... thanks for sharing them!

I am loving all of the bouquet pics!!! I had fresh cut flowers on the tables almost constantly this "season", and I really miss them now (everything is dead here. :( I only took a few pics this year, and both my bouquets and photos were really haphazard. lol! My first are always very casual nosegays with forget-me-nots, violets, grape hyacinths, lily of the valley, etc. I pick tons of them, like this (end of season): I love the tulips and bleeding heart mix! would have to search for a close-up, though: And here's a random dahlia mix :)

That is Macie who we lovingly call Macie-Moo. She is a Shih Tzu but she does look a lot like a Tibetan Terrier. Tibetians get up to 25 pounds. Moo weighs in at 10. She was up to almost 12 after spending a week at my moms while I was out of town. Mom couldn't resist that little begging face....and Macie came back looking like a stuffed sausage!! She doesnt mind posing for pictures. Here she is with her 'summer cut' smiling for the camera from her favorite place in the yard....the pond's edge. By the way...couldn't you over-winter a Fairy standard (in a pot) in your garage? Might be worth a try!

i made a fairy garden for my girls. We used a piece of pvc and glued sticks around it. Then we made a cone top with aluminum flashing. We put little rocks around the walkway and a few succulunts as plants. We got ceramic mushrooms to place around it. One day i rolled up a tiny note i printed on the computer and placed it in the house. It said the fairy's name and how much she liked the house. My little girl went crazy and wrote back and continued to check it every day for messages from the fairy. so cute! i showed her the little fairy prints in the dirt. It is so much fun to play into their imaginations.
