I feel like a little fairy girl when I read your blog. I wish I had a grandma like you when I was little.

That garden sign is just the best -- oh, that's so you! And beautiful treatment for the buttons in the jam jars!

Marilyn

I'd love to take a walk on the Fairy Berry Trail someday:)
Twinkle looks like part of the new garden decor around that tree! And the sign--it's so perfect!

Lorrie

As a Canadian myself, I'm so glad to hear that the Canadians bringing you trouble are mere thistles. They are indeed pesky and invasive. And then there are the Canada geese...

love that fairy trail,

Lorrie

Breezy

Love the jam jars filled with buttons and the fairy sign, totally cute!

Karen Young

I am loving the trail and all of your cute additions. I believe that your hard work and effort is appreciated by one special Sugarwings Fairy! Hope you have a great time with your family.

Hee hee!

Hello Karla, it has been so long since I've read your blog I can see I'm going to have to go back and catch up. I took a break from blogs and needed a fix so I can't wait to read all about this trail of yours. Take Care!

That sign is perfect! It's going to be gorgeous out this weekend, have a great time with your company!

Karla, I adore your thistle drawing, you were quite the accomplished artist at age 15. I have a fondness for the thistle, due to my Scottish heritage, the thistle being the national flower of Scotland. I applaud you for allowing this beauty to reside along your paths.

I found it hard to follow the Mad Men story line last night, as well, due to the amazing Derby party fashions. Love that show!

Best Wishes,
Kay

I think it's wonderful that you kept that drawing all these years! (well I didn't mean it to sound QUITE like that!) So fun to go back and see how we evolve!
I think it's so wonderful what you are doing for Sugarwings! Such a magical atmosphere! Soon it will take on a life of it's own as you add to it throughout the years!
Good to get those men out there working!

For a couple years I've thought I really need to push my son to move out on his own. But then I think of how helpful he is to my garden. He leaves in 3 weeks for a job he is really looking forward to. Oh, my garden will miss him! (me too)

Thank You Karla for being there for SugarWings.

Teresa

I enjoying stopping by your blog. It makes me smile. :D

Bobbi

Loved the hats on MadMen this week! Also, Betty's white lace dress was to die for! Interesting that they didn't put her in a hat, appropriate somehow. But what the heck is Don so angry about this season? I guess it will all come out eventually...Your Friend, Bobbi

Donna

LOl Karla , and we blame the damn stuff on the Scots along with all the yellow broom. I guess when our Canada Geese fly over Kansas they leave other little seed fill presents .Sugarwings Fair Berry Trail is coming along beautifully . Donna

Karla,
What a beautiful post. I too love buttons, especially the tiny mother-of-pearl ones you find in Vintage shops. Your sign about the fairies is lovely.

Love those jam jars with buttons, Karla. p.s. so glad you have nothing against Canadians :)

Gabrielle

fairy sign... soo cute! And the campout sounds super fun! I am sure it will be a hit! The buttons look beautifu too!

Miss Maddie's

Being a Canadian I was happy to learn that it was only a thistle that had perturbed you and not an international incident.
Rest assured your garden looks delightful and will be the perfect spot for your family reunion.
Also bear in mind that those thistle seeds are on the wind headed right back to your yard.
Enjoy your gathering and family.
Susan
