succulent & sweet
It seems as though succulents have become much more popular in the past couple years as people are becoming more green and because of their ease of care. While I prefer the softer versions to their pointy cacti counterparts, I also love the use of succulents mixed with other flowers and plants.

I LOVE the yellow ranunculuses in the top right bouquet! Gorgeous!

Love the yellow and greens! They're such peaceful-looking plants. I think Martha stewart had a segment on how to make a terrarium on her show.

Beautiful! I have such a black thumb... I think the plants tremble in the shop when they see me coming...

Oooooohhhh. Aaaaahhhh. Terrariums. This is something that has piqued my interest for years but I have never made one for myself because I'm paranoid (or very realistic) that my boys will completely destroy it. Like they think they should put buried treasure in there or something. Anyway. I love the terrarium. Thanks for sharing!

I think I want to make a terrarium. I never have much luck with house plants, but perhaps the succulents will be more forgiving - and they're so pretty!

LOVE LOVE the terrarium. I wonder just how much time it would take me to make 20 of these for my wedding this August!
