FoKal Ever since the plant series and our talk about terrariums I keep seeing these terrariums with the wood stoppers. And decanters with wood stoppers keep popping up around the web too, this one is from West Elm. I’ve got some bottles that are nekkid on top so I figured why not just get some wooden craft balls for the tops instead of starting all over to the tune of $39 for a new one just for that cute round wood stopper. Just a little extra addition to a thrifted bottle kind of finishes it off. And if I lose the stopper I have a bag of replacements. Just for fun I grabbed a few extra sizes to play around with. And if you are in the mood you could stain or paint your stoppers. Or even stamp them like these. I love it when you can beat the system. Need more outside the box terrarium inspiration? Check out The Slug and the Squirrel, maybe you’ve seen some of their terrariums at your local Anthropologie?

Bonsai are living, growing pieces of art. Contrary to popular belief, bonsai are not their own species of tree, but are natural trees cultivated to grow at a small scale. While the word “bonsai” conjures images of gnarled trunks and tiny pink blossoms, it is possible to grow bonsai versions of anything from redwoods to willows.
