Love #1 – stacked stone birdbsth
I love the #3. I bought myself a wheelbarrow this Fall. Anxious for Spring so I can plant it full!!
Love #6 the terrariums.
I was looking for your seasonal treatments of window boxes. But I like these too since you get the garden all year long.
Love anything to do with miniatures, therefore love the terrariums!
Love #3
The color popping out of the middle of the green is showing off perfectly. Love the wheel barrel! Something I would have in my garden.
# 6 is my favorite. Love the miniature house.
I like #6.
The “Belle of the Ball” Winter Fairy would look so spectacular in a terrarium container.
love tucking the garden in post. Full of fall bounty and easy to adapt any bench in your garden. Thank you for the idea.
I’m not a creative DIYer by nature. So the easier the project is the better. I like number 1. An easy bird bath combines three loves – easy to do, budget-friendly, and bird baths.
#3- love the design.
My vote goes to #2…Flower Pot Trees! Awesome idea!
Love the terrarium number 6!!! Be a fun project over the winter ..
I love #5… I love being able to sit and enjoy watching birds with a 88 year old friend. She especially loves cardinals and I know our friends would love this treats..that’s why I making one to go at her fave spot to bird watch.
Loved #1 I love any bird bath.
I vote for the flower pot trees
#10 for the birdies! I love hearing them in the Spring making their nests!
Love #3 aways wanted to plant an old wheel barrow
I have had a terrible time choosing a favorite. But I guess I’m finally going to settle on number 6, and as soon as I’m off crutches I’ll be making two of them and I already have the containers.
So hard to choose, but I loved #6. I love going to a “magical” place where you are only limited by your imagination.
Helping out our feathered friends is a small kindness since they provide such beauty to the winter scenery. You have wonderful ideas and thanks for sharing.
# 5 was my choice with the buffet for the birds.
Thanks for your visit and lovely comments, Susan!
The rusted wheelbarrow is great, I have one I fill with flowers every summer, great conversation piece
I have to say they are all amazing!!
Love the stacked stone birdbaths. Made one for my backyard garden. Planning to create several more in the spring.
Thanks Barb for your wonderful garden creativity. You have ignited a spark in me!
I love the bird bath
i vote no. 3
Lovely wheelbarrow my favourite…Very relaxing to look at..makes garden time enjoyment
#5 rustic garden getaway
Well this is hard, too many great ones to choose from. But I am going to say the Rusted Planted Wheelbarrow. It’s a beauty! I am just trying to get mine to even look half that full. :-)
Love them all but #2 is my favorite!!!
I love #2! What a great idea for old flowerpots. Defiantly sparked some ideas of my own. Thanks for the inspiration!
#3 This is a beautiful idea, will try! Thanks
My vote goes for #2…the stacked flowerpot tree…love it!!!! But they all are great!!!
So hard to choose just one because I love them all. For now I’ll choose #5. I love feeding my little feathered friends.
Number 6 is my favorite as I love terrariums. They are so much fun to come up with ideas and objects to put in them with the pretty plants.
I absolutely love #6. So cute
Love them all, but #4 has to be my favorite I love to recycle and have spent LOTS of money on wood for raised beds. Gonna start dumpster diving now :)
Love the flowerpot trees…so creative!
#5 I love any project that will feed birds.
My favourite is #2 with the clay pots made into a tree.
The fairy is very cute and would lovely on any tree.
#6 I just love creating a small world.
#6 a place to keep day dreams…..
#6 my fav
Louise ~ you won the drawing for the Winter Fairy from Our Fairfield Home & Garden!! Please send your mailing address to me at barbsrosen@gmail.com so I can send her off to her new home with you!
Thanks and congratulations!
Barb Rosen
I adore the Christmas fairy. She seems to say it all!
Thank you for sharing such amazing and unique ideas, but I have to say I was partial to # 2 ~ Flower Pot Trees ~ since we have indoor animals and traditional decorated trees can be a bit challenging, these would make a beautiful pet friendly scene in a corner of the living room! Merry Christmas and God Bless Everyone!
the peace of #10
Love #10. So clever!
I love the post(s) on the raised beds, practical, and attractive. Great ideas as it grows more difficult to get around in the garden. Thank You for all of the great ideas, and, the opportunity to win the adorable Winter garden fairy!
I just LOVE #5… the Rake Bird Buffet! It’s perfect for right NOW… Thanks for the contest.
I enjoy the double decker birdhouse
I just found your site. I’m very excited to explore your web site. I love fairies and fairy gardens.
I love fairy gardens and #6 is one for all year around
I like them all but because we had our first snow and ice storm of the season (that is still on the ground)we are spending a lot of time looking at the birds.
Gotta go with #5. We are putting bird snacks in anything we can find.
#6 is my favorite! I love have gardens in the house to play with during snowstorms!
Love your website and your pinterest!
Thanks for your nice comments and thanks for entering too !
The raised beds w/markers creative and just imagine the results !!!
#6 is my favorite!
Love #2 – Flower pot trees…
I love the colorful yet simple fall bench. Everyone has a bench they could easily use to dress up the garden. Thanks for the idea!
I love the.fairy.. she is so adorable!!
#10 Double Decker Birdhouses. Great for our winter birds to make nest in!! Wonderful idea
I had a difficult time deciding, but I’m going with # 10. I love watching the birds in my garden, and I think this is a fabulous idea! I can’t wait till I make one or two!
#8 fresh rosemary wreath – love this!!
Love everything; but will vote for the raised garden, can’t wait to try one
#2 Adorable, love the versatility of the idea!
Love # 10 double Decker birdhouse!
It’s a toss up. How can you go against a grandmother’s recipe or a wheelbarrow project that I’m planning next spring, but the one that I’m looking forward to that I had never considered was #2–the flower pot trees. What a great idea for a winter, not much in the beds of interest, garden!
# 5 ~ Make a Rake Bird Buffet – I just made it today! love it and so do the birds!
Really hard to pick a favorite, Barb. I love #2, and I made a wreath like #8 out of boxwood. Thank you for the fairy give away, she’s beautiful!
I still love the stacking stone birdbaths. They are the perfect finishing piece to the all stone front yard my house had when I moved in.
I LOVE the RED winter fairy! Hope I win!!!!! I have a fairy garden area in my house just waiting for her! She gets my vote!
I love #2 the Flower Pot Trees. But all of them are great too. So hard to choose. Thanks.
I vote for #2, the flower pot trees, they’ll look great in the garden.
Grandmom’s apple cake of course!!
I adore the #3 planted rusty wheelbarrow. This past spring we took our rusty wheelbarrow apart and built a planter box that we attached in its place. You have a gorgeous display with the birdhouse and the greenhouse in the back ground. Wonderful composition
I have made #5 and what a great idea. I has been a good treat for the birds this winter in this cold winter we are having.
Thanks for the great hint.
I liked #4 the raised beds.
I liked them all, but I have to vote for # 2. I had a few problems with a few of the canidates, but #2 wins. It uses things found around house (or other’s houses) and can be put wherever you want it and at whatever height you want it. As I get older and have more problems with my back and knees, this will definitely come in handy and still keep me in produce!
#6 is my favorite.
I love #5
#10 is my fav! I love creative ways to use clay pots and this project looks fun. I have Cousins Camp at my house every year. I think this would be a fun project for each of the cousins to make for their own homes and a sweet memory of our time together every time they look at it!
I love the Terrariums, adorable and just draws you in! Great site and compilation. #6
vote #10 my favorite — double decker birdhouse :-)
You are in the drawing, Cheri. I have to approve comments that are entered to keep spam out!
Love them all, but can’t wait till Spring, so I can make #1.
, the stacked stone bird baths.
#6 – Terrariums – touch my heartstrings
Barb, they all were so good it’s almost impossible to choose. I guess if I must I’d vote for #2 as I love Christmas trees with stars on top and your flower pot trees are too cute to resist. <3
#6, looks like a Fairy Garden to me. She would love it live here with some friends of course.
thanks
My Husband & I both agreed on #6 if we had to choose one,but gotta say that I enjoyed them all! Glad to have found you & Love your Winter Fairy!
Loved them all, but my favorite is the planted rusty wheelbarrow!
Flowerpot trees
