Why Not Read a Book! Get the Ingredients for a Plant Recipe!

Have you ever heard of a plant recipe?
I hadn't until I read the book called 'The Plant Recipe Book'


The idea is you make a living arrangement from plants in some sort of vessel or vase, or anything really can be used to make something amazing.

I couldnt wait so I headed to the Salvation Army and picked up a white casserole type dish thing (I'm sure it has a real name' and a white swan planter.....I know, some of you are probably screaming NOOOOOOO at the thought of a white swan planter, but it's cute, it's vintage and actually I don't really know if I really do love it but it looks cool with my plant recipe!

In the  first dish I added a few cute succulents...best to start with the ones that won't die on you surely!

Then to the swan planter I added some tiny ferns and nerve plant (at least I think that's what it is, the veiny type plant that I used to hate the look of but now I love it!)


And at least my swan planter isnt one of those big plastic ones in the front yard surrounded by gnomes! (no I don't have one but I could be convinced to get a cool gnome.....just one!)

Thanks for Reading :)

Take Me to a Special Place - Dreaming of Vietnam Interiors

I dream of travelling to special places where there's endless relaxation and pampering and green everywhere....lots of green!

I have a feeling Vietnam might be that Place!

If this is an office for a landscape architect firm then i'm excited to see more, see more over at Dezeen

Then if there's no way to go but up who wouldn't want this gorgeous plant in the middle of their living area?

And if you can't go to Vietnam then maybe do as I did and go to your closest budget plant place and buy some baby tears :)
