| Ice Cream Cake... my favorite!! |
The month of March means I get to celebrate my birthday. My family provided my favorite kind of cake and wonderful gifts. Then I received an email from my best friend, who lives in California. My birthday gift would be arriving in multiple packages and assembly will be required. Ooooo! How mysterious!!
 |
| The first package: live greenery |
|
The first package arrived: live greenery. Various types of tiny, shade-loving plants. Hmmm.
 |
| Third package: 18" bowl |
The second package was three small decorative mushrooms (pictured in the center of the next photo below) and the third package was an 18-inch bowl.
As my husband said, this is starting to seem illegal: bags of weeds, a bowl, and 'shrooms... So I texted my best friend to find out if there would be more boxes coming and what the heck I will be assembling!
 |
| Second & Fourth packages: decorating items |
The final package arrived containing miniature decorations: fencing, a bench, garden tools, and gravel. My best friend made my a
Pinterest board to help me understand what I would be assembling.
A FAIRY GARDEN!! Cool!
I looked over the examples of fairy gardens she provided on the board and started brainstorming what to do with the supplies I received.
 |
| Fill the bowl: dirt on the bottom, soil on top |
 |
| Set the non-living items; I buried an empty plastic bottle to create the mound for the bench |
|
 |
| Add the living items and garden tools |
I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. I have no where to put it, so it is only my kitchen counter for now. I'd like to put it on my deck, however it gets the afternoon sun. I have to figure out how to shade my little garden.
The only downfall of it being on the counter is that is is in prime invasion location...
