Art Corner In The Garden

I'm thinking garden thoughts - ready for spring!  - and planning for a "patio" area behind the house this year.  We have long-range plans to put in a real patio, with a brick bread oven built into the bank at the far end, but those will be later....someday...

This year I'm thinking just an area to put out our lawn chairs, a couple little tables to hold our drinks, and maybe a few whimsical things about to pretty it up.  That's where this idea came in.  I looked online to see if it had already been thought of, so I could pin it, but didn't find one, so I decided to write it myself. ;)  Here is the idea:

An Art Corner, for fairy houses. 

(potential spot for a fairy house.  I couldn't find any photos of houses we've built in the past.)

In my idea, there are small baskets of things to be used to build fairy houses: 
pinecones
pebbles
twigs
dried leaves
grasses
bark
acorns
shells
sea glass
feathers


and while we're enjoying our new backyard sitting area we can play around with them and build and re-build houses. 

I'll come back later when this idea is more than a partly formed scheme and post photos. :)
