Wall Hangings


So as I'm sure none of you know Lilly and I are about to move out of our apartment at the end of the month. Which means this blog will go on hiatus for a while. But as a final post for the time being I thought I'd document a few of the things on our wall that were super cheaply obtained that I really enjoy. The first is this fish, which is actually a plastic plate/serving platter. It's just so funny, and we got it at Savers, though it was probably just as cheap brand new. Below is a painting we got at a random second hand store that we are 99% sure is a paint by numbers. But it's so great. 


Both of these items live by our kitchen sink:



Above you may recognize those little red ornament cutouts (which are plastered in glitter) from my holiday post. I convinced Lilly to let me keep them up all year because I like them oh so much. They were gotten in the dollar bins at Target. Below is a small painting Lilly got at another random second hand place living above the moss terrarium! 



These two items live on a wall in an in between space in our apartment. The painting on the left we got at Savers and the mirror on the right Lilly got at a thrift shop, but it used to be blue and have a few stickers and what not on it. She cleaned it up and gave it a few coats of paint and now it's the delightful mirror we know today. Well, that's all for now, see you in some future unknown Tuesday!

Moss Terrarium


Now that the weather is starting to get nicer and spring has finally arrived Lilly and I have begun to venture out of our apartment a bit more (well, at least to places besides Savers, Target, and the grocery store). You may remember from my post about decorating for the holidays a big glass jar that Lilly got with the intentions of turning into a moss terrarium, well with the spring weather that project has finally come to fruition. We've been hiking around a state park not that far from where our apartment is, and it has lots of moss. So of course Lilly decided to grab a bit (shh! it's a secret), along with some rocks and dirt to finally make the terrarium of her dreams. 



She even found this cute little flower that I have my suspicions about how long its going to last. We'll see, it is adorable, so hopefully it makes it, however, it looks rather delicate :/



Right now it's living near a window to get some sunlight, though we're not really sure if it needs much sunlight at all to survive? But we figure at least the flower probably does. Below you should also note that on these walks in the woods we discovered that Lilly is so strong she can lift entire fallen trees! ;) Hopefully the weather stays nice and we get out on more excursions in nature, because as much as I love sitting around indoors all day, I'd really rather be outside. See you next Tuesday!
