Sassy Succulents!

I've been smitten with succulents for some time now.

I"ve see them on Pinterest and notice them everywhere!

I decided it was high time to head out to get some for myself.

They'd add an earthy, natural touch to my decor.

Plus, I hear they're very easy to take care of.

Lots of choices at the store.

I wanted a mix of cacti and their friendlier brothers without spikes.

Here's what I ended up with.

(Also brought over a pot of Hen & Chicks that I already had.)

Gathered up some pots from around the house that were being used for other purposes.

Although a few were purchased from stores, I had a couple that were handed down to me, 

some from handmade pottery shops, and a few were flea market or antique store finds.

The mess begins on my newspaper-covered kitchen table.

And messier still. Dirt on the floor, dirt on me.

Finished and so happy with how they look!

This green stoneware planter was my mom's.

It's mid-century vintage. Mom would've loved seeing me use it this way.

I picked up this shallow hand-thrown pottery dish at a shop in the Poconos for $3.00! 

What a find! When I saw it, I had envisioned using it for this exact purpose.

Now to find a home for each one.

Here's what I came up with. Lovin' the results!

Ideal spot on the windowsill above my kitchen sink~

The jade plant goes next to the kitchen hearth~

Fits perfectly on this sunny windowsill~

Grouped in a basket tray for the living room coffee table~

What a fun project!
