You have probably already seen the Fairy Garden in the old birdbath….but if you haven’t…

Well I was at Tonkadale Nursery the other day….and I was lusting after the Fairy Houses….

I found the perfect one….

It even has a little moss growing on it…

And a little root extension….

I was ready to get started…

I had an old cocoa mat….and thought that would work…..

Mr. S:  “that looks like a really bad toupee!”

Me: “Well. do you have a better idea?”

Mr. S.: “Can this wait until later?  I just got home!”

a little later……

Mr. S: “Okay…how big does this thing need to be? What angle do you want for the roof?  Have you measured the stump?  I can cut some of those wood blinds and you can attach them like shingles”

Me: “Well….no….I thought I could just eyeball it.”

Mr. S:  “sigh…..I’ll go get the tape measure.”

Goody Goody….it was time to use the power tools…

Mr. S ran the saw….
Mr. S ran the tape measure…
Mr. S did the math

I did the power
stapling…

I love me my power stapler/nailer!

It worked perfectly….

Maybe the wine was inspirational….

The solution was in the wood pile…..

I could just attach some pieces of bark to a piece of log that was split to have a peak…

Like a roof!
