Planting things

I've finally started to plant all my random succulents, air plants and ferns and its got me wanting another terrarium oh so bad. Not like I need it but that is completely besides the point. Have you ever tried growing small plants indoors? It can be a bit more tricky then growing outdoors but if you find the right plant for your home it will bloom forever. Now that we are in SF where its almost always humid and cold I am having huge success growing succulents indoors but my ferns aren't too happy. If you've never tried might I recommend trying out a few air plants... they only need a spritz every so often so even if you forget they will still be your friend.

Happy Weekend

Happy Friday friends. As the first week of the new year comes to a close, I've been thinking of all the things I always say I'm going to do but never actually follow through with and one of those items on the top of the list is sending out mail. I always set the goal of sending good ol snail mail and each and every year the months go by and my stationery collection is still busting at the seems. So this year, I'm doing it. For real. As presents this past Christmas, I gifted my younger cousins with their very own pen pal sets and I'm thinking I might just join them in all the fun. These beauties from Quill and Fox would make for a fantastic gift in the mail don't you think? You know me and my love for all things terrarium and this post card set is just too fun...and they are perfect for framing!

DIY terrarium

I've always had a love for terrariums and these easy DIY hanging ones from Ruffled would be perfect in any small space or office. You can find the tutorial here, I can't wait to try out one of these- I've even got most of the materials already! I just love how creative folks are out there, they make the sky the limit when it comes to finding inspiration. I'm finally getting the hang of growing plants indoors {its very different from gardening people!} and actually have a few air plants already growing. Have you made anything you found online? There are so many great crafts out there, in fact, I just came across Craftgawker and can't stop clicking through page after page of crafty goodness.

Terrarium love

I have always been a big fan of terrariums but have yet to get one for myself out, they always tend to be a little pricy considering everything you need to buy to get it going, but, these geometric gems from Score + Solder might be worth saving up just a little for. I'm really liking that tear drop shape, so unique. Each are handmade by artist Matthew Cleland who just happens to be a traveling gypsy.... a culture I am simply fascinated by!
