Ao Dai Girl Picks
A trio of Ao Dai girls (pronounced ou di,) in classic costumes represent natural beauty and create harmony in any Zen/Bonsai garden. They wear the traditional long-sleeved tunics with ankle-length panels at the front and back worn over trousers. They also wear Non La hats that add to their charm. Heights vary from 2 inches to 2.25 inches and all are on stakes for easy placement in wet soil.

Fairy and Owl Stake
The Saw Whet owl stake has intricate detailing and will make a great accent for any garden. It is part of a collection of six fairy riders that will include your favorite backyard birds. The collection currently has a cardinal and an owl, but soon an Eastern Blue Jay, Jenny Wren, House Sparrow and Black Cap Chickadee will join the collection. The stake measures 4 inches and the figurine is 4 inches tall.

Root Cellar
Hobbits, fairies and gnomes are known to reside in interesting places, and this 6-inch-high root cellar is just the place. It has a mossy exterior and looks like a natural structure. It features hinged trap doors that open and close, a hole in the bottom for drainage (or maybe a tea light), a mail slot, and also a glowing light to illuminate your garden.
