Saturday's trip to the thrift store was to find things for the faerie garden. I chose the location for the garden, put the fire pit ring in place and filled it with dirt. I know which plants I want to find next spring....a Polka Dot plant, English Thyme, Chocolate Chip Ajuga, a mini rose, Hens and Chicks to start with I think.
For the decor I found these cute little mushrooms and that ceramic birdbath complete with tiny bluebirds on the edge. I don't know if the butterfly feeder will actually have fluttery visitors but for $1 I thought I would try.
The homemade clay pot front right looks like it will make a cute wishing well. What looks like a table top loaded with berries was originally a jar candle lid but will be a picnic table for the fey. The little terra cotta looking things are napkin rings but look like they could be planters if I can find a plant for them. The funky wooden flower will eventually hold a gazing ball, probably a painted golf ball.
I couldn't resist the two watering cans and the planter.
This little holder is intended to hold paper plates "Country China"  I won't use it for that, probably will become a pot plant holder our front, but the pickets were just too cool to pass up.

Your faerie garden is really going to look the part Toni. Please keep us photographically updated. You never know, you may even have some residents before you know it.

So many wonderful finds! The butterfly bath is so adorable! I love your creative thinking - napkin holders as little pots, the jar candle lid becomes a picnic. I look forward to seeing the final product!

Oh I love those mushrooms, the birdbath, the picnic table and the hand made pot!!! The pot will definately make a fantastic wishing well. I hope you get your faerie garden finished soon Toni as I'm impatient to see everything in place.

Awesome haul Toni! Can't wait to see it all done. I also bought a butterfly feeder for $1 recently. I guess I'll have to wait until next year to see if it works.

I just love your faerie garden, I also like your country china picket fence, it'd be fitting for a pot of flowers. Do keep us updated.
