YOU get a fairy garden and YOU get a fairy garden...

Since I feel that the world could be just a little bit happier [that's a lie - I feel the world could be a lot happier, but I'm figuring others think maybe just a little bit happier] with more fairy gardens, check out the adorable one I made for my friend for Christmas!

I took a jar and painted the bottom a matte clearcoat so it would sort of fog out the dirt at the bottom.

I transplanted some of my clippings from my large garden.

I ran outside during one of the few mild moments of December to steal moss from the backyard.

I cut a little section off of the mini fencing I have.

I hand-painted a sign made with a chunk of husband's woodworking shavings (and yes, silly question, of COURSE I added sparkles to it!) and glued it to a stick.

What to do for a little path...hmmm...couldn't find any small pebbles...hmmm....
ooh! I know! I'll check my button stash! Score!
The perfect thing: awful, dated, hideous buttons that are terrible for any sewing project, but perfect for a "cobblestone" path!!


The plants didn't take as well as I would have liked and the smallness of the jar meant it condensed up real quick.

But it was so stinkin' cute!

So I gave it to my friend (a wildly successful keeping alive of plants gardener) and told her good luck! :-D
