Last year I made a fairy garden and really enjoyed seeing it as I passed by. So sweet to image the tiny visitors that might inhabit the garden after dusk, just as the fireflies are coming out to dance. But the fern I planted quickly outgrew it's environment and hid the little gazebo. 
This year I used a planter I found in our old barn. It is made from tiny pebbles. Instead of plants (that would eventually grow too large) I filled the planter with soft moss which grows in all the shady places in our yard. I then moved in the gazebo, bridge and gardening tools (so carelessly dropped on the moss by the fairies) along with a few stones and pebbles.

I placed the garden along our front walkway so we can see it whenever we go out! Just the touch of whimsy I need to start my day on a cheerful note. Diana
