When I did the Fairy banquet series a few weeks ago, I took photos as I set up. I didn't want to do the same old patio table setting, so Jan moved the table onto the grass. But it had been recently reseeded, so as not to trample it, he put down a couple of sheets of plywood. The upside down pots were to support the flower baskets (if needed) and the benches were for trays of dolls. The pail under the table was full of small leaves to spread around after setting up.... First in place was the pillar with railing. Then the three baskets with 'million bells' were arranged behind and to the sides. I had purchased the three hanging baskets with the tiny pink, purple, and yellow flowers, back in the spring, specially for use in doll photos. They are what tie the doll set up itself to the flowers in the background in my photos..... Then it was time to set up the table and chairs, and start adding all the dolls. Jan took a photo from his office up on the second floor, of me setting up. It also gives a bird's eye view of our backyard, which is tucked into the side of a hill, with a house towering above in behind..... The final setup.....all ready to start taking photos...... ...and one of the photos, taken straight on while sitting on the bench....
