Tea Cup Garden

Do you ever need a little gift in a hurry...

Something that's sweet and thoughtful and not fussy?

Just take a minute and put together a Tea Cup Garden

It's so easy to pick up orphan cups, sugars, and creamers when your out at the fleas. They usually are just a few dollars, and when combined with a little green plant or posie they convey a sweet and thoughtful sentiment.

I always like to give my girlies a little something for Easter, and since they aren't fans of candy, I try to come up with something that they can enjoy beyond the moment.

I found these little pint sized creeping figs, but in a pinch you could just divide a little Swedish or English Ivy, Angel Vine, or any houseplant that you may have on hand. Grabbing a little moss from a shady outdoor spot works too. Just make sure not to over water, since there isn't any drainage. A little something living and green that will brighten any windowsill or counter.

I have this one sitting on an iron pedestal with a bunny box

on the buffet in the Dining Room.

Don't you love the logo on the plant tag?

Rabbit Shadow

Keeping a little stash of small containers

 will give you the ability to say "Thank You", "You're Special",

"Happy Birthday" or "Just Because".

An easy and thrifty way to share the love...
