flea market finds + succulents

this old ironing board is making the perfect home for our thrifted pots + succulents! Perfectly paired with my new candle scent... "Fortune Teller"

We're down to a week and a half before the wedding, and I'm busy wrapping up a few craft projects. Patrick (and me too) will be elated when all of these little projects are finished.  Our counter tops have been covered with my art supplies for months...  SERIOUSLY!

Here's a peek at what's been going on around here...

tin cans + succulents + burlap + twine = wedding table toppers

I have a few more surprise details to add, but so far I love how this project is turning out.  Even better, it's keeping us under budget.  I'm determined to keep the cost of this wedding low!!!!!  And now you know how my succulent obsession began...

 

On a side note, I'm loving how these photos turned out.  The nice foggy effect is just that... Fog!  Probably not so great for my camera, but my lens fogged when I took my camera out of my frigid house, and into this hot humid Mississippi morning.

Right now I'm obsessed with succulents, but who isn't these days!  I think this is the first time I realized a plant could become a fad.  Fad or not, they're beautiful under our gazebo... and perfect for my habits.

 

In the Spring, I'm over zealous, but by mid Summer I have no desire to water plants. I know it's sad, but very true.  I'd much rather spend my time lazing in the pool, when I'm not busy designing jewelry.

  

Do you have a green thumb?  I do only when it comes to basil and hot peppers.  Lucky for us, our families have huge gardens.  I would die without Summer Squash.

                                   

I'm extremely excited about my new little clippings that just arrived.  I found them on a great etsy site, that is cheaper than local.  I plan to use them in my wedding bouquet and Patrick's boutonniere.  Only 24 more days til the BIG day!  I think I'm the luckiest girl ever!!!
