Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog
We took it easy today... only venturing out to the nearest shopping area to pick up another storage tub so I can store things under the spare bed and free up some space in the sewing room... while we were out we found these fuzzy little tropical plants... I though that four would fit into the lion head planter that I picked up from Pam's yard sale this summer... but I always over estimate the size of that planter... it fits two nicely... so I had to find homes for two others... the first time I saw these little fuzzies was at this blog...
I love her giant soup tureen... perhaps that's why I always think my pot is larger... because hers can hold so much more!..
So what to do with the other two little fuzzy tropicals?.. If I had some dainty teacups I would have planted one in and put that under a bell jar... but I have no dainty tea cups... though I love them... I'll have to start picking some up here and there... I do have a few glass jars... see above!?. It is its own little green house is there...
And then the fourth I stuffed into this large Jewel Jar... it was a little tedious... but totally worth it... It sort of reminds me of old crafty books from the 70's... I remember old books from the library about terrariums... I always wanted to have plants inside large glass containers...
We also found this tiny palm... it's perfect under the large bell jar out in the front room... the white planter isn't quite the right shape but it was the best I could find today... Perhaps some sort of milk glass sugar bowl...
After I cleaned up the mess I created when planting all these little lovelies I made another mess baking... with good results... I started with an Pineapple Upsidedown Cake... and then moved onto Buttermilk Cinnamon Rolls... they're both rather tasty... only the cinnamon rolls aren't the prettiest... so I have a couple snaps of the Pineapple cake...
I've made this cake twice now... it turned out great both times... very light...
Ooo... Looks like tomorrow I'll be able to finish the carnation wreath I started months ago... red carnations are back in stock!.. and I want to do a little more baking... whoopie pies!..
yay for chill long weekends...
