~Wheelbarrow Miniature Garden and Simple & Sweet Fridays~

I'm so excited about my new miniature garden.

You would have thought I won the lotto. 

I found this wheelbarrow being given away free!!

I saw a miniature garden at Summers Past Farms in a wheelbarrow.

It was such a cute idea but I didn't want to buy a new one.

I had just the right spot for it.

Now the pumpkin patch has a new home!

I had to share our latest photo of our hydrangeas.

They got so big I can't see our fountain.

Another idea for a ladder!

Happy Thursday everyone!

~Garden Party Cheesecake and Simple & Sweet Fridays #63~

I wanted to make Stan a special cake for his birthday, which was on May 10th. I thought we could celebrate it on Mother's Day because he was out of town. We had his mother over and a girlfriend's family over too. I know his number one love is gardening so, I knew I wanted to decorate the cake with a "Garden Theme".

I made a cheesecake 

and I found lots of miniatures to decorate with.

I made the garden tools out of different color chocolates.

 I found a mold that was perfect.

The candy rocks I found at a bakery.

I found these pots and potting table at a miniature store.

They looked perfect on the cake.

How cute is the garden hose and little rabbit?

I made these seed packets out of chocolate too. 

Everyone loved the cake especially, Stan.

We had a wonderful meal, enjoying each others company.

I hope you all had a wonderful 

Mother's Day with your families too!

Happy Thursday everyone!

~Wash Day in the Garden and Simple & Sweet Fridays#55~

It was wash day in the miniature garden today.

Even the fairies need to do some laundry.

Of course, I always find new things to add to the garden,

the herb garden rock,

the thrift sale truck,

the little blue teapot. 

It's fun looking for new treasures for the garden.

The clothesline is a fun addition to the miniature garden.

I had to share some photos of our wisteria in bloom this year.

One is next to our house.

We also have one up on our hill.

So beautiful.

I had to share it with you!

Hope you all had a great week creating new things.

Can't wait to see what you've been working on!

Thanks again for sharing all your inspiring projects!

Happy Thursday everyone!
