(And I have to say the whole word... it's just not right otherwise)
Anyhow, I needed something fresh but not overly springy for our dining room table. I have this great, white pedestal bowl that my mom gave us as an engagement present. It's wide and deep so knew I needed something big to go into it.
I had thought about throwing some dirt and seeds in it and trying to make a wheatgrass centerpiece kind of like this...
I love the look and TOTALLY want to do this around Easter time as a chic alternative to creepy bunnies and technocolor grass.
So when we were at Wegmans last weekend, I stopped at the floral department to see what they had. I loved the seeded eucalyptus but couldn't figure out how to put that in the bowl.
Then I saw a sale on hanging plants. And then I saw this perfect plant; with dark green, light green, light purple, deep purple leaves and sprouts. It was $6.99 and PERFECT!!
Then I read the name: Wandering Jew(ish). Yep, leave it to me to find the most politically incorrect named plant ever! But it's cool, cause I have nothing but love for this Wandering Jew(ish).
So I grabbed the plant, came home, cut off the hanger, popped into the white pedestal bowl and vola!
Love!
It's a nice way to remind me that spring is just around the corner. Even though it is -3 with a windchill making it feel like -15 degrees.
Yes, it's still in the pot it came in. And yes, those are MacKenzie-Childs salt and pepper shakers - a birthday present from Aaron and Amy!
(okay, just one more pic cause I love the contrast!)
Do you have any house plants? This is our first. Here's to hoping I grow a green thumb!
Happy Tuesday!!
