I have put links for all the threads to help buddies with ideas:)

Hello-My name is Stacey and of course since I am Fairy1004 I want to do a fairy swap!!!

I will open it today and will post names on the 2nd post-if you don't see your name and it should be there, JLMK:)

Just 2 rules for this swap:
1. If you already have a Fairy Garden or Fairy garden art, please give us a peek so that we can:
a. get ideas and share
b. not get you the same things you already have
2. You MUST post a pic when you get your surprise from your swap partner!!

I will close it on 7/8 and get names & addys to you on 7/9. While I hate to set $$ limits, around $20 is reasonable I think...

IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE EXCHANGE OR HAVE NEVER BEEN IN ONE OF MY CO-OPS, dmail me your address.

I expect all packages to be mailed out by 7/18-if you have an emergency, at least be courteous and dmail your buddy to let them know:)


Here are some sites that have things for a fairy garden and fairy garden art.
Some of these are all compliments of other DG members that found them-thanks guys!!

*****-notates they have gotten theirs-did I forget anyone??

And here is a pond w/ only 1 layer of the water:(

How adorable is that!! Love the little fishies in there. You can tell you've put a lot of work in that!

That is just too adorable, Stacey.
Explain the modification to the table please... what did you do?

That is such a good idea Stacey and its coming out great! those little fishies are too cute!

Great Job, Stacey, that is so cool! I'm for sure going to turn my fish tank into a Fairy garden, that will be a good winter project for me.

I am just not happy with the colors is all:(

I put some sparkly tulle under the umbrella-which was a pain to get the peices the exact right size and glue them in-I was sticky all day yesterday!!LOL

Sweet!

I like how they all came out. Very nice. You have put a lot of work into the little pond, all those little stones!!!
Great job.
Linda Kay

I just hope my buddy isn't disappointed (wink)

I'm sure she will LOVE it. I know I do.

WEll I am hoping that the other stuff in the gimongo box she is getting will make up for it:) It is a HUGE box:)

OK Kathy, Jaye, Marion, &LK-here is waht I am looking at

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=270260302264

And here is a pick of my buddy's box-just waiting for that darn pond!!:(

Fairy1004: Please add me to this thread, as I have been fairy gardening for over a year now. Thank you.

we already did the swap honey...is that what you mean??

you can still chat with us and share ideas and such though:) You are welcome to participate in our chatter:)

Fairy, thanks. I didn't want to intrude. The fairy sign you liked was purchased in Concord, NC, at a shop called Gifts and Garden by Angela, 180 Church Street North, Concord, NC 28025. Phone 704-788-9076.

Oh-you weren't intruding by any means-the more the merrier:) No worries:) Swaps can be addicting!! I already have my next one all planned out:)

Thanks for the info-I was thinking of making a little one for my fairy garden;)

Here's a fairy caught trying to swing into the house through the window!

Hemophobic, theres a glass jar swap going on now if you'd like to get it on it.
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/885328/

And theres a Bird, Bat and Butterfly House swap too.
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/885869/

We'd love to have you join us.

Thank you, BJ. I'll check it out.

she sure is sneaky!!!!!

They are quite adept at staying hidden. Sometimes I catch a glimpse of one out of the corner of my eye, but I can never see them looking full on, ephemeral creatures that they are. I'm just glad they decided to come live in my garden and reveal themselves ever so often to me. I look for doorways hidden in trees and fairy wings which have been shed in the spring when they sprout new ones, occasional bits of gossamer which can only signify that the fairies are back!

I never noticed-guess I will have to keep my eyes open more:)

Glad you found us Hemo!! You'll feel right at home here!!

Welcome Hemo.
Bestest Fairy Niece, I have that on watch, an hour to go..

I love your fairies Hemo, you are a true beliver I can tell! you definately came to the right place! Welcome!
Hello Jaye! How ya doing?

Fairy, I was asking about the horticulture charcoal. Do you mean it is now called activated carbon? I can use that instead?

Evenin' Joey. Glad you and the family are okay.

Sinus got me down the whole day! Can't do nothing but sleep it off almost the whole afternoon!
Love everything you sent, Joey. Will post a pic as soon as I can assemble my head!!

And that sack of crawfish, meh sha' Beignet et Praline dun finish dem off!! Told dem to sit demsef first and write a merci note to their Maman. But nooooo, dem stomaches got hold of dere brains!

Hahahahaha!! Thats too funny!
I'm so glad you enjoyed them. I had a blast making them.
I'm sorry your feeling poorly. I know how bad those sinuses can get you down. DH suffers as well. Vous vous occupez de vous vous entendez?

Yes, I will...don't want to disappoint, Tante Joey ;)

'nuff with the french, already...

I've had a sinus headache for two days now, Jaye... I usually just get drainy sinuses or stuffy ones... but rarely get a headache from them... must be going around.

I would offer you a glass of Bailey's, but you don't drink, so here is a tall glass of iced tea! Do you prefer lemon, &/or sweet tea?
Take care, get a good nites rest if you can. Hope your feeling better in the morning.
Linda Kay

No lemon... just a little sugar.

OK, here ya go.
Good nite ladies...
Linda Kay

Sorry you ladies are under the weather! I have a runny nose, so far it's not bad. Maybe that's as far as it will go!

I'm sorry BJ didn't know you were feeling bad too , I've been bouncing around threads trying to catch up, I think I'm getting dizzy LOL.
I hope your headache goes away!! I want everybody happy and healthy. Nice people shouldn't be sick!!!

Jojo, I think Jaye ate that sack of crawfish, made her sick, now she won't show us any pics, lol!

LOL maybe so. Jaye they were magical crawfish, only gnomes can digest them properly !! LOL

LOL... at least you said it in English...
