September 9th 2015 - rock house
A few weeks back my lil man found 2 leprechauns in a charity shop. They were salt & pepper pots but he asked if he could have them for his fairy garden. I bought them and put glue in the holes, touched up the bit that was chipped with nail varnish and off he went with them to the garden.
I didn't think much more about them but last week he said to me that his leprechauns needed a house as the fairies and gnomes all have houses. I asked him what sort he wanted and he said made from rock like some of those outside but must be green and have a rainbow on it as leprechauns are found near rainbows.
I have an assortment of rocks in the garden that we have found as we cleared it etc so I foun 1 that was sort of rock house shaped and set about drawing bits on it - windows and doors and flowers, a roof and a rainbow on the back. I then set about painting it. It looks really good and lil man is pleased with it. He asked me to put silver sparkle nail varnish over the rainbow so it looks magical. So out came the nail varnish again (1 day I will do a post on my many uses of nail varnish lol), and I i it. All I need to do is varnish it.
I will add a photo during day light so it looks better.

April 28th 2015 - Toadstool table n chairs
April 28th 2015 - Toadstool table n chairs
Today me n hubby nipped out to a garden centre 15mins up the road as I want a Lemon Grass plant as wasps don't like the smell of it. They hadn't got any and didn't know what I was on about!
Well we came back via a small market town, we've been there quite a bit as they have the Factory Outlet Store. We nipped in. This was a BIG mistake (in a way) as cost me an absolute fortune!
Outside the front of the store was garden furniture and things and amongst it was a Toadstool Table n Chairs. It was lovely! We mis-read the label and price. We walked round the store and picked up few bits and it was as we got near the till we decided we would get the toadstool table n chairs even though it meant we couldn't get any wood to do the decking this week. The sacrifices I make for my kids!
Well we thought it was £40 for the table and chairs...... errrr no, £40 for the table and £25 per pair of chairs! OMG!!! (bearing in mind this is NOT RRP but cheaper!) BUT they did have an offer of table and 2 chairs for £59! So we got them.
They are really lovely and we have been and cleared the weeds from in front of fairy garden for them, not sure if this is where they are staying permanently or not, but where they are going for now. If they are staying here we will have to level thee ground properly and possibly put some more of the purple stone chips down. I think we have to re-think the entire fairy garden and re-make it bigger like where it was before (where the mud is to) and place the table n chairs at the back by the fence, with the fairies and toadstools at either side.

April 26th 2015 - Bird House
April 26th 2015 - Bird House
I bought 2 Bird houses similar to these from poundland the other week, I'm not sure what size birds they are meant for as the hole is smaller than a 2p coin. I had talked about covering them in shells before they went into the fairy garden but lil man has decided he wants them in it as they are. He has placed them on top of an old tree stump and said that they are neighbours.
He is so happy to have his little fairy garden and apart from the wind knocking 1 ornament off the fence (luckily it didn't break) nothing has been broken or stolen. Which is really good.
