DEBBIE-DABBLE BLOG

I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

Gnome Fairy Garden Tub, 2017

Welcome!!

Today, I will be sharing my Gnome Fairy Garden Tub........

But first, I want to Thank Michelle, over at A Crafty Mix, for featuring my post, Our Front Yard, from last week's Sweet Inspiration Link Party!!

Thanks so much, Michelle! I appreciate your kind words too!!

Please stop by and link up to this lovely party!!

You may remember that I use my Fairy Garden items year round.........

Under the Tree in the Sitting Room where I added Christmas Fairy Garden items from Big Lot's.....

And after Christmas, I created a "Fairy Garden Mantle" in the Sitting Room on my faux fire place......

Now I have moved everything outside in 2 tubs which is where I started my first fairy gardens......

In my last post, I shared my other Fairy Garden Tub........

Click HERE if you missed it......

In the second tub, which is a plastic beverage tub, I created another Fairy Garden but this one features Gnomes.......

The other one is over on my side of the Patio and this one is on Joe's side of the Patio......

I will let the photos do most of the talking....

Green crystals from Dollar Tree mimic grass.......

Tea is served!!

Blue crystals mimic a pond......

And that is how my fairy garden tubs look for this Summer season......

In my next post, I will be sharing the back yard and how I planted my potted annuals ......

So I hope you will be back to visit again soon.......

Summer Fairy Garden Tub, 2017

Welcome!!

This Spring has really been very wet and very cool!!

And you can see that next week looks like more of the same and now they are calling for high's only in the 60's for the rest of next week!!

I would much rather temps. in the 70's than in the 80's and above. I am no lover of the Summer heat but I would like a little more Sun and less rain!!

I did manage to set up my Fairy Garden tub out in the back yard........

But first, I want to thank Dagmar, over at Dagmar's Home, for featuring my post, The Patio Project, Joe's Side, Part 3 from last week's Dagmar's Home Link Party!!

Thanks so much, Dagmar!!

I also want to Thank Kathy, over at A Delightsome Life, for featuring my post, Our Front Yard, from last week's Home and Garden Thursday Link Party!!

Thanks again, Kathy!!

Please take some time to stop by and link up to these great parties!!

You may remember that I use my Fairy Garden items year round.........

Under the Tree in the Sitting Room where I added Christmas Fairy Garden items from Big Lot's.....

And after Christmas, I created a "Fairy Garden Mantle" in the Sitting Room on my faux fire place......

Now I have moved everything outside in 2 tubs which is where I started my first fairy gardens......

Today, I will be sharing this Fairy Garden tub.

I bought the tub last year on Amazon and Joe drilled 2 small dollies into the bottom so it could roll and I could move it under the awning when it rains........

Let's take a closer look.......

I used colored crystals from Dollar Tree to mimic grass and water and pea gravel for the rest......

The bridge is in the "grass".....

I will let the pictures do most of the talking.......

Love my tea pot house!!

The toad stool leaf hammock is new this year...

So is the pink roof house.....

The "pond"......

This fairy garden tub sits over in what I call, my side, of the Patio........

If you look beyond the tub, you can see a few Gnomes in the garden to the right..........

I will be showing you the garden in a future post...

That is if it ever stops raining and my flowers get some Sun to grow!!

In my next post, I will be sharing my Gnome garden tub........
