I’ve been sprucing up the fairy garden today. Word has it there will be a party going on. I cleared away the furniture to make room on the dance floor. It’s freshly swept and covered with fairy dust. You haven’t really danced till you’ve danced atop some fairy dust.

I was fresh out of fairy-sized disco balls, so I improvised using a glass bauble from an old flower arrangement. I squeezed out the last drops of Stickles™ glitter, brushed it on all the surfaces, then rolled it in sparkles for that extra-special glow. What do you think? Won’t those fairies have fun!
Please have a seat
I tucked the table inside the garden yurt, decorated with pink candles (their favorite). The party theme is “Sailing into the New Year.” Will you look at that fancy ice sculpture? It almost looks like…glass.
Candles and Sculpture
I draped some glittery blue ribbon flown in all the way from Canada to create a small, flowing walkway. Fairies have wings, but they enjoy slippery ramps as well. The invitations read: B.Y.O.B. or bring your own bauble, so I’ll be anxious to see what they bring.
Entrance to the Fairy Garden. Won’t you please come in?

Such a lovely place to spend the evening, I think I’ll wish myself very small and grow wings to zip on down there. You can call me Boomdeebell 🙂 Because pink candle light is so flattering, I’ll find a spot to bask in the glow as the Stickles ball twinkles all around the garden. I’ll have to do the Blue Ribbon slide a few times, it looks like one of those scream, laugh, scream things that I love so much. I’m tickled to see you’ve included it, you are so sweet and creative Alys. Thank you for linking back too, I’m off to check your other favourites. This is such a happy place, I love it. xoK Happy New Year!

Boomdee, this comment landed in my un-read folder, along with everything else on this day. I’m glad I thought to check.
I’m glad you got to bask in the pink candle glow after sliding and screaming down the blue ribbon. Really, it’s the only way to spend the new year. xx00

I’ve left this open all night as I was so blown away, I was speechless. That’s saying a lot. The imagination you display with a fairy garden leaves me breathless. I have no experience with something like that. Then to top it off, you added a link back to me. I had to show my son and asked him to show me how to to do that myself. I keep trying but it never seems to work. So we will experiment this week before he heads back to California. I can’t thank you enough. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your wisdom and delightful imagination this year. Happy New Year. Hugs M
