Whimsical Wonders

Fairy tales have a magic that transcends for all ages. Lately, we can see that the wonder and delight of these tales have become a very trendy inspiration for home and garden decor. Instead of focusing on the hero or heroine of the story, the decorative focus of current design is the lesser elements of a fairy tale. A magical toadstool. A miniature gnome. Caught up in this wonder and delight, Abby has worked her own personal magic, and brought some of those ideas to life in her own abode. Here is a little glimpse into these whimsical wonders.
