Just look at these beauties! Succulents are by far some of the most striking plants to grow at home. When we were in the Pacific Northwest this past summer, I collected multiple little bits of succulents that we found while walking about, to bring home. It's amazing how easy it is to grow a new succulent plant from just a little piece that fell off of another one. There are so many varied textures and colors with these little guys - any time I go to a nursery that carries them I have to resist leaving with an armful! Luckily for me, my friend Jo Anne from the Anthaus studio asked me to be a part of one of their group's new design ventures... so she and I went wild at a local nursery the other day and now I'm excited to be the caretaker for these babies as we develop this new art project. I'm excited to tell you more about all of this eventually, but for now I've got to be just a little bit cryptic (sorry... but haven't I piqued your interest??) Check back soon for more...
