Having two little girls means I get to live out my childhood all over again with them. I feel blessed to have a second chance at all the things I thought were amazing and fun at their age, and after moving to a much bigger home in the ‘burbs and having a backyard, we get to decorate with some girlie touches. My husband is totally outnumbered, but I don’t think he minds when we add splashes of pink and purple everywhere!
Now that we are chipping away at making our backyard a wonderful oasis that is not only welcoming to our guests but also a serene place for us to hang out, we are on the search for appropriate decor. Oriental trading helped us get some ideas for the perfect decor, and after searching through their catalog we decided a fairy garden would be a fun feature in our yard. My girls love the Tinkerbell movies and I’ve always been a huge fan of her growing up, so a fairy garden tribute to one of our favorite movies- Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue would be fun to recreate!
Oriental trading has all you need to get started on your fairy garden, including a fun fairy garden set with various pieces. Unfortunately it is so popular it is currently sold out, but we will be checking back often until we get our hands on this fun set. In the mean time we chose some other fun pieces to accent our outdoor space.
We loved the butterfly wreath to hang up on the front door for in between holidays. We typically have a wreath that goes with a theme, but from now until Halloween this gorgeous butterfly wreath will accent our door. This wreath is smaller than our other wreaths, but very sturdy and super colorful. It is the perfect touch for a Spring or anytime wreath.
These two adorable stone sisters catching butterflies stole my heart. It reminded me of my little girls and I had to have it! How cute is this? My daughters have already labeled who is who, and I think it is an amazing way to always remember how little they once were- because eventually my two little girls won’t be this size anymore. The Butterfly Collector’s statue add a little whimsy and captures the wonder in children when they explore- in this case, catching butterflies.
My oldest daughter knows how much I love frogs, and it was awesome to see her choose something just for me from the Oriental trading catalog as opposed to thinking just of herself. She loved the Garden Frog Statue and this little guy adds a nice touch to our yard.
I love all the little touches we were able to add to our outdoor area to spruce it up and personalize it. Oriental Trading has all that and more, with themed crafts, party supplies, home decor, and so many other things! Check out Oriental Trading and start your decorating today!
