Last year I started a little fairy garden and it was so much fun that I HAD to let more fairies come to live! Of course, more fairies means more houses, etc. Since my fairy garden is all in potting bowls sitting on cement pavers, I needed more containers. Off to the pottery store! Being the cheapskate, no, thrifty person that I am, I asked if there was any broken pottery that could work for my project. I found a beautiful, large bowl with a substantial crack up the side AND a loose piece broken off in the bottom. The price was right- just $20 for a pot that could have been well over $100. The nice man at the store told me to wet the pottery well and then apply Gorilla Glue along the cracks. Gorilla Glue is
wonderful! I followed his directions and, voila! The pot is solid and water proof! My only problem was that I didn't follow the directions on the bottle of glue as well as I should have. Directions say to apply stringently, as the glue expands 2-3 times in volume as it cures. I wanted to make sure it held well, so I applied more than I needed to apply. Results: I have a yellow bead showing on the outside of the pot. Oh, well. I just turn that pot so that the imperfection doesn't show! I have a very large and very beautiful pot for my growing fairy garden!

My oops!!!
