Swap love
When I came back in from the garden this morning just look what was waiting for me on the doorstep. Super special and wonderful swap gifts from Laura in North Carolina.

Fairies in the garden
This morning the garden turned into a magical enchanted forest with fairies, sparkly webs and frosty beams of milky light. Every day our garden and its inhabitants delight and amaze me.
