Spring is almost here

Spring is 7 more weeks away! I am so excited to fill my patio up this year. I don't think I will be doing a big garden like last year as I will be on vacation most of summer and will not be able to maintain it. Last year when I came home from vacation my whole yard was overgrown and I couldn't even see it. I got a lot of vegetables in the beginning so I did get my works worth. Wasn't a total bummer. This year I will mainly stick with succulents. I love succulents. I love how they magically reproduce and flower so easily. I found some arrangements on pinterest I love. I already have a small birdcage to start with. I think it's time to go thrift shopping and find some antique bird cages. Do you have any plans for your garden yet? I'd love to know.

I just love these

Anything with a nice piece of wood is always beautifully.

I have some mainframe in my house already but would like to get more and just hang them everywhere.

I am already rearranging around my house to get started. Might have seen on instagram.

My Life is My Garden

The title of this post says it all. I miss my garden. My husband came home the other day from thrift shopping, he was suppose to be finding stuff for work but instead found stuff for me ♡. Brought me beautiful shells, a white coral centerpiece and my favorite of all, a shell container. So I immediately went and bought a few succulents to put in it.
I love succulents.  If you don't have a good green thumb these are the plant for you! They are so easy to take care because they are drought tolerant.  So if you feel a little lazy about watering, no big deal let them dry up! Afterall they are a desert plant.From my experience they actually do a lot better dry and in the direct sun, they have more beautiful colors come out this way.

Below is a picture of the arrangement I made in the glass shell. Mu husband found it for $5! I didn't even take the succulents out of their container. I just slipped them in tightly.

The second picture is of my last garden in California. I am planning on doing something similar to this in my front yard but instead a three tier fountain or a few barrels pouring into each other. Can't wait!

LAUGH & LOVE XOXO
