~New Fairy Garden and Simple & Sweet Fridays #222~

I wanted to share with you photos of our new miniature garden.

Stan took out some paper whites that had taken over this area underneath our birch tree.

After we saw it, we decided it needed some new paths around it.

So, Stan went to Home Depot and got some bricks.

I'm so lucky he loves to garden as much as I do.

After, he added the bricks on one side

 we noticed the area next to our raised beds needed them too.

I think Home Depot loves us!

We love how the new paths turned out,

 next to the miniature garden!

We added some new plants and you know me,

I will add more!

Our pumpkins are starting to grow now.

They will fill in around the miniatures soon!

I made some new banners out of washi tape for the fairies.

Wooden stakes to hang them up and

cut bark pieces for little stepping stones!

I love our new brick paths and fairy garden!

Happy Gardening!

~Our Outdoor Pergola and Simple & Sweet Fridays #140~

Stan and the kids finally finished our outdoor pergola!

It's such a beautiful place to sit and relax next to our pool.

We had a giant Ficus tree taken out last year and we were trying to figure out 

what to put in its place.

The tree gave us a lot of shade so, 

we knew we needed some sort of structure. 

Stan ordered a pallet of bricks and Carly and Justin helped us move it out in the backyard.

It was a very hot summer in San Diego this year.

Stan only had the weekends to work on it.

I love having the brick as the base.

We found this beautiful pergola at Costco,

the floor plan was a perfect fit for the area.

Having the kids help us was a blessing.

Now we have a new sitting area to relax and enjoy our backyard.

We bought the outdoor furniture at Ikea.

That store has just about everything you need to design your home.

With the weather here in San Diego at 84 today,

we'll have plenty of Fall nights to enjoy outside!!
