make something monday :: quirky succulent gardens

At my Sisters wedding last month she used tons of succulents in her incredibly gorgeous decor. I loved all of the vintage cigar boxes and rustic linens she had lining the tables! I came home with a dozen or so left over tiny plants and they have been sitting on my table waiting for me to do something with them. I decided to put a few into some of my favorite vintage Pyrex dishes with colored gravel for a quirky twist. They were super easy but thought I would share my process with you today!

Supplies:

vintage dishes
assorted succulents
potting soil
gravel - (I used left over fish tank gravel in pink and turquoise)

First find the best grouping for each dish, I think they look best pretty full.

Next remove each plant and add some potting soil. I gave each pot a good bit of water since they were pretty dry and it was a hot day and then let them air out a bit in the sun.

Next I carefully added the gravel to each dish covering up the potting soil. I could totally see these in a bright white pot with bright white rocks as well for a much more modern look.

And that was that. Simple, quirky and free since I had everything laying around the house.

I've been keeping the succulents fresh with a water bottle every few days. I have learned the hard way how easy it is to over water these sweet little guys. Although I admit I am not the best with plants so if you have any further succulent tips for me leave them in the comment section I would love it!

Hope you have a wonderful day today...

PS. I am over at beautifully rooted this morning too with a new post on hospitality.

Happy Monday!

June 1st and some silhouette plates....

So wow is it really June 1st today?? Holy smokes folks that last month was a blur for me. Was it for you too? I am getting all prepped and ready to make a re-entry on the interwebs next week. My long break was much needed but I am missing this space so I will be here monday with a new craft to share...just something easy of course.

I can't believe my oldest is going to be six in a few weeks and my baby will be one month on sunday. Time is flying, summer is coming and I feel my shaky legs learning the ropes of how to manage a household as a mommy to four little ones.

I am making a brief appearance today too over on the Beautifully Rooted blog sharing this super simple and fun project for silhouette plates. If you would like the full tutorial head over HERE.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! xoxo

soaking it up

I am off having a wonderful time with Stacy this week in southern California soaking up a bit of sunshine and working on some fun projects around her home.

She posted a tiny sneak peek this evening on her blog from the maternity shoot we did yesterday...she took me to a gorgeous secluded field and the sun popped out at just the right time - kind of like my 27 week baby belly. I swear to you there was a mouse following us in the tall grass though. :)

I am over on Beautifully Rooted again this week as well with a tiny tutorial for this pinwheel headband I made for Josie recently the full tutorial HERE.

Hope your having a great week friends,
