Hopeful Green Thumb

It's reassuring knowing that I didn't just generate those trashing-digging cravings on my own. My dad found both of these planters next to his condo's dumpster last year and brought them down on his most recent visit. The tiered planter (below) I scored at a garage sale a few years back for just $5. A few coats of brown and gold spray paint and $20 worth of plants from Lowes - and voila!

I finally got around to replanting my African Violet as well. I hop that along with those planters, my dad gave me some of his green thumb so I can keep all these lush babies alive!

#19: Felt Succulents

It has taken a lot of convincing from John of Glass Gardens to get me to make these...but I have to admit they are pretty adorable. I spent a drive up to Richmond on Saturday cutting out hundreds of these little leaves (and getting felt scraps all over the car). Sunday night when we got home, I assembled them all, only to realize a much easier way to create them. Sorry, that trick is a secret. But these little cuties can be yours, head over to the Etsy shop to see what is available. They will also be making their way to Kitsch sometime this month.
