 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
