Thank you for all the encouraging notes. David is doing better and hopefully will go back to work this weekend, fingers crossed. I am slowly trying to pull my home back together. Even though I hate cleaning, I really hate it when my house is falling apart all around me. So slowly life is getting back to normal.
Thanks to Alice at A Number Of Things I found this wonderful shop and blog Wee Garden Oh what fun inspiration. What I loved about her ideas, is a lot were small and doable. Sometimes the fairy house ideas I see are amazing but quite ambitious. I like the idea of just a small simple chair in a tiny pot. Her gardens, well you could spends days there. She sells all the little chairs, arbors, fences, ect. Her book is on my want list. Check it out and be inspired. Her blog is set up a bit different then most blogs. To read her entries, go to blog archives.
Also Echoes Of A Dream has posted an amazing fairy house. Look at the end of the post !!!!









Oh Clarice, thanks so much for the link to the enchanting Wee Garden...I'm so in awe and inpired!
I hope that your dear Hubby is well and truly on the mend and your lovely family is fit and happy.

Clarice, I'm glad you're seeing progress in David's health. It's so hard to see our loved ones in pain.
I like this Wee Garden. I am always looking for something to brighten the indoors when fall and winter are on their way in.

Clarice,
I really been pulling for both you and David.
I'm happy to hear he's doing better.
I would imagine it takes awhile for things to heal.
What a darling and charming little house. Sweet.
