Terrarium Love for Valentine's Day

A whole lot of fun terrariums being made at the store these days.

Enjoy!

Terrariums Rock our World at Passionflower

Just  a little sneak peek of our winter reset, which is deep underway at Passionflower.  I'm doing some "art walls" in the store and Becky put this little lovely of John Derian trays and a few other goodies together in our terrarium cupboard. People have just been cray, cray for terrarium stuff these days so we are pumping it up - getting some different mosses and rocks and some new shapes and styles.  It's so fun to see how everyone puts it together.

The Inner World

Roost has a new product we're carrying called candelariums .  I guess that's like halfway between a terrarium and a candleholder.  Basically a big sturdy glass box with a carrying handle.

They're kind of fun, right?  Like a naturalist's take on the Jungian sandbox.

A little moss, an air plant or two and some Mexican church candles and voila!

But who says you have to play all neutral and mossy with these?  How about some colored candles, a houseplant or two and some cones, fruits,  and nuts in your candelarium? 

We only have two sizes left so come in and have fun putting your little world together.

Oiling the Wheels of my Imagination

I cannot really describe how delightfully blown away I was by these planted  sculptural pieces I saw at the New York International Gift Fair (NYIGF).  One of the most exciting things I've seen in a long time.  From Princeton based, architect/sculptor/plant loving visionary.  Check out this link to see some of his installations Opiary.http://www.opiary.com

This is the intersection of nature and art at it's finest.

Our Love for Air Plants Continues Unabated

 

More store reset with scads of air plants and sticks and branches

 

 

Running with inspiration for as long as she'll have me.

Ruminations

I just love the New Year, it just seems so fresh and  full of possibilities and like starting with a clean slate.  After (un peu of )the holiday excess, it's like clearing the palate.  Getting ready for a post holiday reset at the store.  And I can hardly wait.  Like I have a whole new story to tell - the story of the New Year!

Make your Own Terrarium at Passionflower

Sarah is having a terrarium party!  We were going to call it a class, but a party seemed like so much more fun.  Stay tuned for Passionflower terrarium making, party going details coming in September.
