After my first week back at work, I had a fabulous weekend cuddling with baby, enjoying the company of friends and even getting a few household projects completed. The one above was just a simple outdoor centerpiece using succulents and extra terracotta pots I had laying around from my vertical herb garden. Sadly the plants in my succulent chandelier didn't survive the hurricane so I'll have to replenish.
I know its horribly on trend to be so enamored with succulents but they are a black thumb's girl best friend. Happy Monday!
If you have enough sun, succulents are great for tables as they dont require alot of watering (less messy). I always look at the succenlents in HD whenever i am there.
ReplyDeleteI really do love succulents. Can't help it. And this black-thumbed girl is right there with ya!
ReplyDeleteHope your first week back wasn't too painful...
Succulents can be a container gardener's best friends. I love all the variations in color and texture.
ReplyDeleteI love how you layered the pots. I love succulents as well but I can kill them even though my African violets thrive all winter. Go figure!
ReplyDeleteI love succulents, so beautiful! You don't get very long off for maternity in the states. We get a year here in Canada. So important! Glad you enjoyed your weekend cuddling.

Nice! I am into them lately too (if plants are trendy, that's only good I think!) and have two inside and a ton of hen and chicks I picked up last week in planters outside. I've nearly killed one of my inside plants, but I don't know if it is from neglect or love...
ReplyDeleteI'm into anything that I can't kill! These have a great look to them too!

I adore them too. They are much lower maintenance than many other plants. These look great! Recently, I used an old frying pan to make a little succulent collage: http://wellreadfish.blogspot.com/2013/04/miscellany.html
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of obsessed.
Gorgeous! I wish I could plant something like that here, but it's a little too early in my neck of the woods. I'm inspired, though!
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence! I just bought mini succulents this past weekend. I don't think there's anything cuter than succulents!
ReplyDeletenow that's something I could DIY! I love succulents, especially the ones which are purplish. you had a productive weekend!
