New Kennewick Gift Shop Believes in Fairies
Kenniwick, WA – The owners of a Bella Fleur in downtown Kennewick believe in fairies. They also hide them under leaves and between miniature bushes in the custom gardens at Bella Fleur at 6 N. Cascade St., Kennewick.
Wendy Clawdus of Pasco and Julie Spalding of Bickleton — close friends since seventh grade — specialize in creating tiny fairy gardens, or small dish gardens similar to terrariums, but not enclosed. The gardens feature small house plants, miniature sculptures and often have a theme, like the farmscape garden in the shop window.
“Sometimes we put the fairies in, sometimes they come on their own,” Clawdus said with a smile. Besides small figurines of fairies, she and Spalding add miniature sculptures of animals, houses, vehicles and anything else that takes their fancy.
