I may be the last person to realize this, but terrariums are so in vogue right now. I decided I wanted to put together a little one just for fun. What a quick, easy project.
First I found a container and a lid--two separate purchases at the thrift store. I also bought a polka dot houseplant on clearance at Lowe's.
I placed some rocks on the bottom of the container for drainage.
Then I added potting soil and planted the houseplant. I had room for another plant, but decided to just place some little rocks and figurines down instead.
I love the bunnies! My mom received a set of 4 of them for a birthday when she was a little girl. I remember playing with them when I was young. Two of them "hopped away" over the years. I keep hoping that someday I'll find replacements. I remember one bunny was whispering into the ear of this one on the left:
I love the expression on his face--so adorable.
Anyway, after getting everything arranged, I watered the plant a bit and then put on the lid.
Voila!
Thankful thought: Thanks to my mom and grandmas, who always have/had houseplants to brighten up the indoors, and thanks to my third-grade teacher, Mrs. Rhue, who gave me (and every other kid in the class) a start of Colonel Coleus, our class plant. That act started a lifetime of keeping plants.
