This terrarium is one of two that was given to the girls by Laura Daub, a local artist and former blog patron. Once upon a time it contained two plants, but one shrivelled and died. The other one flourished after we remembered to water it a little more. ;)
I recently removed the dead plant parts and added some small stones I’d collected during our camping trip to Algonquin Park this past summer. Is it just me, or are decorative rocks a little more special when they don’t come from the craft store?
The little house is one of Laura’s creations.
This one, along with its twin, sits on the windowsill in our family room where I can see it every day. It makes me happy and is thankfully low-maintenance, which is exactly the kind of plant life we need around here.
