Terrariums

Terrariums appeal to me for 2 reasons. 1: They are easy to maintain. 2: They look whimsical. If a tiny fairy happened by, she may be tempted to rest for a bit here.

Today I made my first terrarium at
Artemisia, a lovely shop around the corner that specializes in indoor gardening. It was surprisingly tricky to pick, choose and place my objects, but the end result was totally worth it. And made a great birthday gift for Emma.

So long sweet summer


I'm not really ready to let go of summer, but the rain is making it VERY difficult to hang on. In my futile attempt to delay the inevitable, here is a picture that represents everything summer: the beach, a bathing-suit, sun, laughter, friends, toe-nail polish, happiness. The model is my Grandma Edie circa 1939.
