We had our Granddaughter stop over, and we spent a wonderful day doing many things, but I had promised her she could help paint a small birdhouse. The birdhouse had been on the wall for over two year waiting for it to be taken over as a nesting site.. As there were still no takers this year, I asked my Husband to take it down as I had other plans for it.
We set to with paint and brushes while my granddaughter gave it white walls and a green roof. She wanted a Fairy House
Enjoying Painting.
We did many other things too, such as go and buy some new fish for the tropical tank and outside pond. Which she supervised to ensure they settled into their new homes. We played Fairy Princesses and hide and seek among many other things.
Grandma got busy in-between other chores to paint the windows and door and put a coat of varnish on it over the next couple of wet days .
Fairy House view from the right
Fairy House view from the left
So after the rainy weather and wind had died down Grandma got busy outside and this is the result
The Fairy House put up in the garden over seen by the little Gnome
The Gnome made sure the ladder was secure for the Fairy who sat in the sun watching the construction of her home
Everything looks tickety-boo
And I am sure she will soon settle into her new home
Fairy and Gnome have good company with Buddha to watch over them both.
I hope you enjoyed meeting the Fairy at the bottom of our garden.. And should you wish to see how the Veggies are growing in the allotments.. Then Press this link HERE to take you to the allotment photo’s all is now nearly set.. And growing nicely.
Oh and I saw my little Wood-mouse this morning sat on the bird feeder eating grain.. He paused as I paused, 🙂 as he stuffed his mouth , we both looked at each other for a second then he scurried back into the wood pile.. 🙂 Lovely to see him/her again.
I hope you are all having a Fantastic Week..
Enjoy Life and Live it well and be good to one another!
Blessings

Totally charming, Sue, and so is that darling granddaughter of yours. I love the sweet little ladder that helps elevate the tiny inhabitant to her colorful, sweet, home. And I especially love that Gnome, Fairy and Buddha complement each other beautifully in your garden setting…of course they would. 🙂
So nice to be over here again, Sue. I hope all is well and happy with you in your part of the world.
Hugs…

What a beautiful creation Sue!
I wonder though whether what got created was the handiwork of a little girl and her grandmother. Or was it really the creation of two little girls who allowed their creative imaginations to run free.
Within each one of us resides that little girl ( or boy), replete with all those memories and dreams. Just waiting for a trigger to jump out. As you spent the time with your granddaughter, did you notice that little girl within you? And if you did, did you notice her thoughts and emotions?

Oh I am sure it was the latter of the two LITTLE Girls Shakti.. I often look at an old childhood photo of myself then at times look deep within my reflection.. And somewhere buried in there that same little girl smiles back at me.. And says hello.. I hope you too find the little boy within also my good friend..:-) Many thanks for always adding your wisdom here Shakti..
I was reading a book by Deepak Chopra only yesterday, a favourite author of mine and for some reason his dialogue reminded me of how your wise comments always make the reader/myself think deeper within what I post.. Many thanks my friend, I hope to repay your visit shortly.. The weather here has been too good to miss..

Enjoyed that great post Sue, imaginations and little artistic talents, creating fun and joy, your little Grand daughter looks as though she was in a world that no adults can enter. Its beautiful using imagination with the little ones.
My little Grand son and I have a game, when he comes to visit we go into the garden trying to dig up buried treasure, he always finds his little coins in the little treasure chest, the look in his eyes is priceless.
Cheers, off to your vegie patch now.

Did Grandma also get busy painting those beautiful flowers growing over the fairy house? 😉 What a beautiful story and a great idea for an old bird box. We have an unused one in our garden, perhaps if there are no takers for it next year I’ll ask our nieces if they’d like to make a fairy home… Have you seen the fairy doors that you can get to paint on fences and trees? Another job for Grandma when she has a moment… http://www.enchanteddoorways.co.uk/

Thank you.. 🙂 all the base work was painted by my granddaughter 🙂 .. She also loves to come look to see what is different when she visits with the house 🙂 ( I move the Gnome around and tell her he only turns to stone when we humans are here. She hunts him down in the flower beds and puts him back near the fairy house 🙂 )

It was my late grandmother’s the one thing I took to remind me of her. She would love it in the garden, but I wouldn’t sleep at night thinking it was out there.
Varnishing things for outdoor use is a handy tip though. I’ll remember that for the fairy garden!
