Patty, you've created some very pretty decorative pieces (literally!) Those terraces really take the fairy garden idea to the next level. Now I want to break some pots to do something like this, lol!

I agree...these are beautiful! Each one is like its own piece of art. Love it!!!

Thank you both...I had fun with them, and because I save everything, I didn't have to purposely break anything!

You are so creative, Patty! I love these

Patty, what wonderful creations! They'd easily sell for top $$$; great job!

Thank you Ibis & Lin!

I do craft shows with the beaded hangers on orchid baskets I make, as well as witch balls in garden stakes or with beaded hangers as well...and I did try to sell some of the little houses I made. I did okay. I brought the gardens with me as an example of what to do with the houses and while I did sell quite a few (I made about 30 of them, each different) and I got a LOT of compliments, I also heard "I can make that!" a LOT as well. People are funny sometimes.

One lady offered me $60 for the terra cotta one...I told her to call me when the 3 week festival was over...she didn't.

Uh, yeah, "I can make that" until you realize how much work actually went into it!

I saw some of your beaded hangers awhile back when you posted a few pictures, but I'd love to see some more. Seems like a great way to dress up a plain orchid basket. Do you have a website? You should also post what craft shows you'll be at, and when. I'm in Orlando, hint, hint

Seriously LOVE this idea so much I gave you my very first acorn

Awwww, thank you Gee! I appreciate it very much!

Ibis...the next how I am doing is the Sarasota Orchid Society show at the Sarasota auditorium in January...I haven't booked any shows from now to the end of the year because I have a boatload of health issues suddenly pop-up and I want to get them all taken care of before the end of the year. I have 7 doctor appointments in the next couple of weeks!

Anyway, I do not have a website...yet...but this is what my set-up looked like at the Hunsader Farms Pumpkin Festival for 3 weeks. If you want a particular size, shape, color or whatever orchid basket I'd be happy to custom make one for you if I don't already have one made that you like...



Here are some of the baskets...(the first one was at our Society show this past January)





And I just got in an order of bamboo baskets--they're kind of interesting as they are made out of lengths of small bamboo instead of the cut wood...I haven't beaded any yet. I got them in 4, 8 & 10 inch. They cost me a little more than the wood, but only by a couple of bucks on the bigger ones.

And thank YOU for the acorns as well!!

Very interesting, Patty. I can imagine this keeps you very busy

Patty I love the fairy gardens!!! I have an outdoor one but I really like your creative ideas. I may have to see if I can use your inspiration with the broken pots in my outdoor fairy garden. Anyway - you're quite crafty and they look great!
