Fairy Garden /  by Gina Bishop


Our fairy garden is one of our most treasured items in the Homegirl household. A fairy garden is a miniaturized garden, made complete with living plants and décor and I would like to live in mine. This tiny space awakens your childhood imagination and is certain to captivate you, your family and guests. This mystical bed requires tender care and is only limited to your imagination. Suncrest Gardens, our local garden center,where we were inspired to create our own, incorporated the holiday season into theirs and it is really fun to change it with the seasons. In our fairy garden, we added things from around our yard and you can also find items on Etsy.  One of my favorite things I've seen is a clothes line with gnome clothes hanging.  My assistant, Maggie, bought us these little animals on Etsy for Christmas to put in ours, which I change with the season as well.  We also have tiny lights around the arbor of ours which look really pretty to put on at night. We really do get so much enjoyment out of it and hope you are inspired to create one of your own. I am so dreaming of Spring and changing mine yet again!

* Warning though, Cats love fairy gardens, so you have to place things in there that would make them uncomfortable to sit in or your can also do one in a terrarium, so they can't get to it at all!

Be a Follower! /  by Gina Bishop

You guys know I am all about creative, independent thinking, but today I am asking you to be a follower! At least, when it comes to my blog and Facebook page. :) And to thank you I'm going to give away something from the barn sale. It's a contest and a sneak preview all in one!

You can enter one of two ways. Either click the Follow Me button on the right side navigation bar of this blog or "Like" my Homegirl Facebook page. Then leave a comment here on the blog or on my Facebook page saying you did so. To thank you, I'll enter your name into a drawing to win your choice of a fantastic prize, plucked from the barn. The winner will chose from a "Love" sign made from found objects


or a Rewined (cute name right?) candle, Chardonnay scented. It comes in a cool, repurposed wine bottle container.


The contest closes at midnight on Tuesday, May 29th and I'll draw a name on the 30th, the day before the barn sale. I will post the winner's name on the blog and Facebook. And don't worry, if you already like our FB page or follow the blog, you won't be left out. Just leave a comment here or on Facebook too, and you'll be entered. (Due to shipping, I am only able to open this contest to Homegirl readers in the United States.)

Thanks for supporting Homegirl! It's been a crazy year and I can't wait to share some of the exciting things I've been dreaming up and working on with you.
