I was blog hopping this morning and landed on fellow Missourian
This Vintage Grove's Five Things Friday. One of the five things she talked about was getting some succulents from a hardware store last week. Wow, what a coincidence, so did I. I shot her a comment and it seems we bought from the same hardware chain, just in different Missouri cities. I only bought three but here is what I did with mine:

Later on today, I was going through my email and found one from
Stampington & Company's Post Script. In it, they provided a DIY project for planting succulents in a mini library drawer. Here is a picture of the finished project:
Apparently, succulents are "in" this spring. I dig their mid century modern vibe and hopefully, they will be easy to maintain. I think I may have to pick up some more from the hardware store. They are too cool!
What a co-inky-dink! I bought four new succulents just yesterday! I got mine from Home Depot in Austin...and they will join my others! I love your Haeger pots...mine will be living outside...in chipped and cracked McCoy pots!
ReplyDeleteI got mine at Westlake Ace Hardware in Sedalia. Mine are outside too! I love old USA made pottery but my collection is mostly Haeger.
DeleteWe are trendy!!!!!!!! Thanks for the shout out!!!!!!! I am LOVING your grouping. I shall pin it for reference!
ReplyDeleteI collect ivory Haegar too! It's on open shelving in my kitchen, but I might need to steal a few pieces and copy off of you!
I love succulents. I have a pot on my hearth that needs to go out on the patio. Thanks for the reminder! :)
ReplyDeleteI love succulents, too! They're so sculptural. I've been perusing modern wedding cake designs lately for my brother's upcoming wedding and I've even seen some minimalist cakes with sugar paste succulents as decorations--sounds weird but looks very cool!
ReplyDeleteI think the wedding cake sounds uber cool. Would love to see a picture of it if that's the way they decide to go!
Deleteive been planning on growing my own succulents this summer but have been putting it off time and time again. now that i came across your gorgeous post on them, i think i should get to it pronto! i love that you put them all in white too! so elegant! thank you for inspiring me!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words. Good luck with your succulents. So far, I have been enjoying mine.
DeleteA library drawer!? You are brilliant! Loving your blog & finds. Xo
