Neighborhood News From Fairy Manor

This spring when I went to the Indy Flower Show I was quite taken by these three minature shrubs. Left is Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Silver Lode', middle is Euonymus japonica 'Rokujo' and right is Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Gold Pin Cushion'.  I brought them home not knowing for sure what I might do with them.  I was delighted when the Garden Fairies that live in my garden expressed great interest in them. I asked them to come up with a plan and they did.
 They gathered their gardening equipment and worked diligently. 
Stopping to rest only a short while from time to time under their gazebo to rest. 
Each took a corner to work on. 


In no time they had Fairy Manor ready for company. 
If you are ever in our area do stop by for a cup of tea and a biscuit. 
They would be delighted to give you a tour of Fairy Manor. 
We are wishing all a delightful week.

    Hi Lisa,

    The show seems so wonderful!
    Look like you still have time exploring around but i haven't been to any shows or events after Chinese New Year.

    I hope to take a break like you too!

    Have a delightful week too and Happy labour Day to you Lisa!

    This is so cute, Lisa! The fairies did a lovely job of sprucing up their manor; maybe one of these days I'll get to pop in and visit them.

    What an absolutely delightful little garden. Who wouldn't want to drop in for tea there. (at first I was wondering, what is she going to do with all those tiny plants?! smart lady)

    What a beautiful little garden vignette your fairies created. Jo and I never seem to get our studio/shop elves to do anything productive.
