~ Fairy Picnic Basket and Simple & Sweet Fridays #74~

I saw the cutest idea ever and had to make one!
A Fairy Picnic Basket.
I bought a picnic basket at the thrift store.
 Line the basket with a black liner.
Trim the excess with scissors and then add a ground cover.
I used blue star creeper,
add some old vintage plates and an empty bottle of wine.
I found my fairies at Summers Past Farms in Flinn Springs.
But, you could probably find them online. 

Instead of  using all plates in the holders I added
 some small vases and picked some fresh roses.
Of course, a little fairy under a glass looks cute!

I attached a little fairy holding onto the cork!
The picnic basket is a perfect place for the fairies to play!
I also added some new fairy food to my Etsy.
Of course, the fairies need some fruits and vegetables!




Happy Thursday everyone!

~Sunday Afternoon in the Garden~


The weather was perfect today in San Diego.
 Why not stamp some rocks for the garden!
Little mushrooms for the fairies.
Thinking of my favorite place...
A new resting place.
New lettuce to plant.
Our butternut squash is just starting to get bigger.
The lion's tail plant had lots of blooms this year.
Our Clematis is growing on the outside cabinet, so pretty!
I harvested lots of heirloom tomatoes.
A caprese salad sounds good tonight.
Crape Myrtle trees in the entrance for our potting area.
I picked sound fresh flowers for our tables outdoors.

~Artichoke and Rosemary~
A beautiful combination together!


Our new olive tree,
with little olives on it.
Some of our carrots are going to seed.
I might have to cut off some of the blooms for bouquets.
Tomorrow is another day.
A little treat.
 To end a beautiful day in the garden.

~New Dahlia and Sweet & Simple Fridays #73~

Our dahlias were starting to bloom this week.
 I had to share with you some photos I took.
I hated to pick the beautiful blooms, 
but I wanted to enjoy them in the house!
Sweet signs of summer in the house.
Stan picked our Anna Apples today.
So I had to make an Apple and Pear Crisp.
Ina Garten's recipe is the best!
Saving sunflowers seeds for next year.
Our first watermelon.
Remember when I shared the 
hydrangea wreath last week with you.
Well, it's starting to turn purple. 
Still looks pretty good, wouldn't you say!
Hope you were able to play in your gardens this week.
Looking forward to being inspired by all of you!
