after enough perusing on pinterest, i’ve officially become enamored with terrariums. i don’t know what it is about them, maybe just how darn cute the little succulents are or how cool their holders are, but i’m into them. big time. i picked one up at an outdoor/plant store last week and it’s proudly sitting on my desk. what’s also nice is that it only needs to be watered a little every couple weeks, which is especially important for my anything-but-green thumb.

i found that large galvanized metal ampersand last week and knew i had to buy it. with the extra 50% off, it was only $15 – i’d consider that a pretty good deal. i’m not quite sure how i’m going to use it in my new place, but it will make a cool statement wherever it is. i’ve also ordered quite a bit of those ceramic jars, which will be great for storing things and staying pretty. 

also, that candle? it is the best smelling thing since fresh cinnamon rolls.
