Our neighbor got Elizabeth started on a fairy garden for her birthday a few years ago. It has since grown as has their interest. They love to play and rearrange the figurines. Grant and I were out shopping one day and saw a gnome so I thought why not a gnome garden for him! They each had their own pots, but really like to play together. Luckily (well unlucky really) our fountain had just broken and I had forgotten to drag it to the curb for trash so I up-cycled! You are welcome mother earth :) And thus the birth of the fairy/gnome garden! The kids spend so much time standing by the garden playing. It is adorable and reminds me that they are still little and imaginary play is so important! (Even if you don't have pants on! Grant might start a colony one day called "Pants are overrated!")

I searched for a fountain replacement but came up empty. Then I had the idea to put a bench in the area. Some place I could sit while the kids play in the front yard. I was told "Alison, no one will sit there!" Just thought I would post some proof that people do sit there! And I have had friends come over and say "What a great idea!" Bench success!
