mini gardens

here's one i redid this spring.

Cute! What are the plants you included? From the perspective you've shown it's hard to tell - Is the one in the front left corner of the box sized to be a shrub or tree?

i use tiny tears , hens,chicks, and sedums. the pine tree is not real. here's a close-up of left side.

the right side.

that is so cute! I want to make one now :)

You are quite artistic. Love the one in the cage.

The other one kind of reminds me of the Christmas scene that my daughter does. Similar ideas.

I love your mini gardens!!! Can I ask were you got the globe type basket!!! I would love to make something like it for my backyard. Also, where are you finding the mini furniture and buildings??? Very, very cute!!!!

thanks! i got the globe at big lots! the buildings are tea light holders i found at jo ann fabrics. i brought some things at a local greenhouse, found the furniture at a craft booth at a flea market and micheal's is another great place to find things. hope this helps. belinda

Those are terrific! They must be so much fun to create. I love them both but am tempted to try my hand at a globe...

jen, are from coshocton? belinda

No, my aunt lived there and bought them when the library was remodeled (in the 70s??), brought them to Illinois and left them with my family when she moved again. My brother in Montana has some, too. I bet those bookshelves are in darn near every state, lol! They're beautiful.
