A previous post actually inspired me to begin decorating with artichokes... I put a couple in mason jars on the table and they look phenomenal. Such a simple touch that makes a HUGE difference. <br /><br />Xo<br />Carly<br /><br />All This is Grace and Charm<br />http://allthisgraceandcharm.blogspot.comCarly Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15624156840831440542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918692864889720064.post-36820061426943168362011-01-22T20:23:59.267-06:002011-01-22T20:23:59.267-06:00Hello Aura!

Well, it's actually our third home together, but when you rent in the England, furniture is included so we haven't had much control over our decor until now.<br /><br />I love succulents but I have some convincing to do to get my husband to love them too.<br /><br />Thanks again for the post, M xxMarfiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02397252028967967895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918692864889720064.post-54245329801512085672011-01-22T02:03:39.577-06:002011-01-22T02:03:39.577-06:00hi lovely,

I'm in trouble with our home, can't find solutions how to make it looks nicer.<br /><br />You know, these succulents are easy to take care of but somehow i killed ours :( And the air plant, it's from Tillandsia family, I have excatly the same and it makes flowers too if take good care! I bought it from the rare plants expo, few years ago and now when we were back from Paris, it was all brown and dead. so, off I go to search new ones.. every plant dies in my hand and in this weird climate of south france ;)siniannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127068744018350518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918692864889720064.post-30586983646492478062011-01-20T19:29:54.637-06:002011-01-20T19:29:54.637-06:00LOVE the air plant.

I can't decide on ANYTHING! I finally decided last night to just make it, so I can mix and match a few fabrics that I like with white sheets. That way I can change out accessories and not have to commit. <br /><br /><br />Kristina- I was hoping no one would notice that I'm just THAT crazy and in nest mode that I completely redecorate my house once a week! I can't help it, I will just get down a vase to change out flowers and find a new place to put it. I used to dream about that before I had a house, I know you will love it, too. <br />I can't wait until you're in your forever home, as well! You will be so close, that we can scour flea markets and antique stores together. <br /><br />Candice- I'd be rich if I did :) We have all white bedding and towels through our house, and my biggest heart ache is seeing hair and fuzz on them as soon as they're clean. I wish I had a solution! I just try to keep the animals off of as much as I can, and wash things often. I love white because you can bleach it, so I just can't switch!<br /><br /><br />Lady Lyles- I actually noticed all our animals matching our house about a year ago, and got a laugh out of it. I think it's similar to when you start to look like your pets, or your significant other.<br /><br /><br />Nikole- Not creepy at all :) Thanks for thinking of me, and my crazy nature obsession.Aurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703730646756774047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918692864889720064.post-34979762138409492152011-01-20T19:00:21.204-06:002011-01-20T19:00:21.204-06:00I love your succulents and congrats on your 30 wee...I love your succulents and congrats on your 30 week mark!
