Seaside Terrariums

With winter weather taking it's toll...(meaning "If I don't get real sunlight I may just stab someone in the forehead") I've been looking towards items that may bring a bit of summer into the house. I found these (Gorgeous!) terrariums by Litill ltd.

Far pricier than I really want to pay - $225 - $500 (but with a bit of research easily reproducable. Obviously the glass globes are not something you'd see at Target, but who says they have to be exactly the same? A nice round trifle bowl may work just as well.

Recycled Greenhouse

Found at Made.com, coolest looking greenhouse ever! I'd love to make one of these! Talk about being green :)

Little Landscapes

I found this site a while back and was SO impressed. Honestly, I did 'Fairy Gardens" for my wedding centerpieces, but they were not at all as elaborate as these little living gems.

Take a look through the site, Little Landscapes, to see some of the amazing mini garden's they offer. Honestly, my thoughts on these are to make them yourselves. I would think if you have some little ones they'd LOVE the thought of planting and making mini gardens with you.

BUT... I'm too much of a kid to resist doing these on my own (I'll let my cats help, maybe).

Mushroom Forest Coffee Table

Honestly, I'm not sure if I would consider this adult or kids furniture, but I'm thinking that placing this in my garden would be FAB! Can you imagine how adorable it would look surrounded by flowers and such? What a great place for a tea-party. (Although at $995 per table I'm guessing I'd have to by a box of $1.99 Lipton)

Tiny Terrariums

While doing some 'window' shopping on Etsy (My favorite haunt) I found these wonderful little terrariums. I've tried to make a few myself, but have always used orchids (which I promptly kill... I'm a serial orchid killer).

madebymavis on etsy.com has created this little beauty, and has several for sale. I've also heard (although I can't confirm) through the grapevine that she's very open to giving you suggestions and helping you create your own little paradise.

I'm going moss hunting this weekend!
