For the Garden-Obsessed
Fairy garden accessories make it easy to give the gift of imagination. Miniature fairy dwellings, pixie posts, fairy creatures, tea time armchairs and other mystical adornments can add character to any garden. We love the charm of the special fairy creatures, like the bunnyfly. Accessories range in cost from $6 to $350. Contact The Fairy’s Garden at (877) 929-9282; www.TheFairysGarden.com.
