~ Minnies Magic Garden

Minnies Magic Garden      Just down the path from Storybook Lane, is a  magical little  place known as Happy  Hollow. Tiny gnome houses, filled with plump little gnomes,  are all  lined up in neat little rows.  Mushroom cottages, and their bright colors , sprinkle the  wooded woods, and are filled  with happy little pixies! In one of these Happy Hollow cottages,  lives a sweet tiny  pixie girl. She is considered very special, gifted even....Her name is MINNIE      You see, Minnie has a very special talent. She has  a green thumb.  Actually, Minnie has two green thumbs, and  everything Minnie touches..grows!   Ever since Minnie was just a wee pixie baby,  she could make things grow.  If Minnie threw a stick down on the ground, it would soon grow into a beautiful tree! . Minnie loved flowers and plants for as long as she  could remember, and her dream  was to have her very own garden..a magic garden!                                                  She began planning,  and planting. First she built a sweet  little picket fence, perfect to surround her garden.  gathered up her favorite planting tools,  her basket, the prettiest one ever, and her favorite watering can! Minnies grandma had  given her the can when she was just a wee sprout  herself, and she always watered  everything with it! Grandma said Minnie had the  magic touch, and the water would  help her dream come true!                                                         Minnie then made  her very first yard ornament,  she took an old fence post, and a small  bird house she had built, and wrapped it in wire..not  quite she thought..it needs something!  Ahh yes, perfect, a small sign with her name! Now,  everyone will know, this is Minnies Garden! e      Well, Minnie thought, I should really plant something!  What will be first? She noticed some tiny seedlings  she had planted were beginning to  come up. She though, "I will just pot these three,  and see what grows!  Sure enough, and  in no time at all, she saw three  tiny faces! Wow Minnie thought, I have potted Pixies!       Then Minnie found a small bean pod she had placed  on her garden table, she wondered what the pod would  grow. She stuck her green thumb  in the dirt, and made a hole, she placed the pod in,  and covered it up, she sprinkled a little magic water on it, and out popped a magic bean sprout Sprite!         Minnie saw two red ripe apples on the wagon,  and decided to try to plant the apple seeds. She watered  them, patted down the dirt...and nothing!  Then she remembered the green thumb, "better stick  it in for good measure"  she thought , and to her surprise, and joy, appeared  apple bottomed babies!  Right there in her garden..little fairy babies, with tiny round, apple bottoms!             Minnie had sprinkled so many seeds, and  watered just about every inch of her magical little  garden, that she nearly forgot to check on  the vine she had transplanted. There, next to the  fence had bloomed tiny dancing fairies! They were giggling at her! :)        Right beside the dancing fairies were  the snap dragons she  had sewn, and now they were little  Happy Snap Dragon blooms! :)      As Minnie looked around, her dream had  indeed came true. She had a magical,  and beautiful garden. A true one of a kind garden too!  She could only think of one last thing to plant ..she thought "maybe I will try my thumbs  at a melon patch". So she took one melon,  watered it, and placed it gently on top of a  mound of dirt, and waited..the next  morning Minnie  was all smiles when she saw that  she now had grown her very own Melon Patch Kids!!      Minnies dream had come true, she had  two green thumbs,    and the most beautiful,   magical garden ever!    I had so much fun creating Minnie,  and her accessories!  I Hope you enjoy this magical little story!  Minnie was inspired by my mother,  also named Minnie! Just like my story, my mom can  put a stick in the ground, and magically, it will grow  into something  beautiful! My mom recently gave  me this tiny  watering can, and said maybe  you can use this when you make  a little FaeWee* Funny how sometimes the  smallest things can provide such huge inspiration!  Thank you Mom,  Love Christel Minnie and All her garden pieces will be listed on eBay starting  Thursday evening at 6 pm Central I hope you will go see her auction! eBay button is at the top right of this page!
