Visits from the Fairies

On the weekend Kevin helped the kids finish their garden signs and he and Colin built a bench from scrap wood that could live in the fairy garden.
We dropped it off on Sunday and hung the signs.

And last night the fairies must have found this magical space. Today when the kids visited their fairy garden they were surprised by a fairy ring which included a small rock table with a tiny shell bowl holding a red berry for a fairy tea. There was a lambs ear leaf blanket and a small Queen Anne's Lace flower for a pillow. There was a small wreath and lavender bouquet to decorate the fairy ring.

The kids got to work quickly, making a rope swing, gathering more wildflowers to decorate the rocks in the ring, and planning what tiny gifts they could leave for the fairies. I wonder if the fairies will return the favour.
