My Fairy Garden in a Collectible Crate

 
 
My Fairy Garden is not your ordinary fairy garden - mine is in a vintage Coca Cola crate!  My dear friend, Brenda of Cozy Little House who is my inspiration for creativity, gave me this vintage Coca Cola crate to add to my Coke collection.  I tried and tried to figure out what to do with it.  I finally decided that since she is famous for her Fairy Gardens, that's what I would do with it.
 
 
So, I've been collecting little things to go into it.  Last week at Canton, I bought the beautiful little iron gate and arbor.  I put moss in the bottom and added a metal fencing. 
 
 
Isn't this the cutest Adirondack chair you've ever seen? It's sitting with a tiny flower pot in it's seat.
 
 
The end of the crate has "McKinney, Texas" stamped on it.  
 
I also added a Creeping Jenny plant in a pot to add some real life to it.  (Now, Brenda does ALL real plants, but I am not that good with plants!)
 
So, hope you enjoy my little Coca Cola garden.  I sure do!!
 
Till next time, Judy

  3. So cute. I want to bring my fairy garden in for the winter. I may use your idea of a little plant in a pot so there is less dirt. I made a pumpkin fairy garden. I hope to post about it today. You'll like it.
