Winner Spotlight :: Fairy Garden Contest 2012

Today's Winner Spotlight features a Fairy Garden from Our Broken Road that is truly amazing. Kitty, Teddy and I have poured over all the delightful details in this enchanted garden for hours... and we still keep finding things we didn't see before. Thank you to all the little fairies who made this garden and shared it in the Fairy Garden Contest... and congrats on being a winner :-)

We LOVED this gnome-sized totem pole...

Do you see the green crocodile lurking in this bubbling brook? We hope Fairy Mother holds onto her baby tightly as they canoe down to the Organic Fairy Market.

Isn't this little fairy sweet as she sits coyly outside her toadstool home. We LOVE her ladder too. And of course her leaf fairy friend waiting down below!

Anyone need something from the Farmer's Market?

Teddy agrees... no Fairy Garden is totally complete with out the resident red dragon!

Thank you for sharing your magical garden with us. I'm so excited for you to receive your prize :: a TWO YEAR subscription to my favorite magazine... Living Crafts!

Here's a link to see the Fairy Garden from last week's Winner Spotlight.

Winner Spotlight :: Fairy Garden Contest 2012

Here are some more delightful photos from one of our Fairy Garden Winners, Three Sisters.

Look at the sweet little rose-twig well and the miniature white picket fence. And the row of Statice pot plants in the moss. But, what we love the most, are the stick and acorn streetlights!!

And the little fairy washing line, with tiny wooden pegs and sweet fairy-sized washing, drying in the crisp morning breeze.

Magical, isn't it!

Three Sisters won a one year subscription to one of my favorite magazines, Living Crafts.
