It might not be a surprise to you that anything you put in a mason jar just looks homespun and so inviting. With that being said, I jumped at the chance to have a little fun with some good old mason jars for atop my newly refinished dinning table. yay. {I can't wait to share that makeover story with you next week} In the meantime, here is how I adorned the top of it; twine wrapped mason jars filled with vanilla candles, a doily, a lovely pink cactus and a simply made burlap table runner, which I washed, ironed, and added a little flare with some peach embroidery thread along the edges at an angle. Honestly, planting the cactus probably took longer than making the table runner, it's that easy.

DIY {colorful doily plant holder}
I'm sure you know that I am a sucker for succulents. Especially because I do not possess any strain of green thumb-ness at all. Plant growing skills aside, I came across this amazing tutorial yesterday for a colorful doily plant holder and can't wait to try it. I completely love the fact that string holding these lively plants is friendship bracelet string, tied exactly the same way me and my friends used to make them. So bring back the nostalgia friends and get crafty!
This would make the most amazing house warming present, in case you are ever in need of one!

DIY {air plant terrarium}
After visiting my favorite craft festival last weekend, I filled up on an abundant amount of inspiration for upcoming projects of my very own. While strolling the rows of endless handmade goods, I developed a fondness for these little funny looking plants. Mostly because they require minimal amount of care and I don't have an ounce of a green thumb.


Our little apartment has been in need of some greenery, but it was about finding the right kind for our place and something that our little furry friend, Jax wouldn't destroy. Enter these awesome hanging bubbles from Shane Powers for west elm. I can hang them in the corner of a very plain space and instantly add some zing! I can't wait!
