Designing the look of the Seven Gypsy Garden Fairies has taken great thought. It is evolving. I felt that some of the cloths where falling short of the way I wanted them to be. I really like the headdress that I put on Cricket. Cricket is one of the smaller fairies. Her look is so fun that I am working on headdresses for all of the fairies. It has also inspired me to a create Folkloric Headdress for myself.

Lavender
Yesterday we planted Lavender seeds. One of the flower beds in the garden gets full sun most of the day. It currently has a mix of perennials that remind me of a last plant collection garden. You know what I mean, "it was the last plant at the garden center and it was a real bargain." This garden also has a few invasive plants that need to go, one being poison oak. Ouch! I found that out the hard way.
If all goes according to plan it will be a mix of Lavender and Pink Rose bushes.

Fairies in My Garden
Yep! There are fairies in my garden. In fact there are seven fairies in my garden. Each one has a unique gardening talent when shared together, they create garden harmony.
Over the next few weeks you will get to know each of them. I am working with the seven garden fairies to rejuvenate the older mature gardens of my new home. Its not really a new house, in fact it is a much older house. It is new to me. I moved to this location during the summer of 2013.
This is not the first time I have gardened with fairies. My last home had a fairy named Petal living in the garden. She made her home in a Crab Apple tree near our small pond. Petal was my gardening muse. Together we took a blank canvas at a newly constructed house and built a charming secluded tiny forest and perennial garden. Petal stayed with the garden to welcome and assist the new homeowners.
