Succulent Love Affair


I confess I once killed a cactus.  But so far, a little planter I put together of succulents is doing just fine.  Here's a sampling of succulent-inspired finds for anyone else out there who loves the varied shapes, beauty and hardiness of succulents.


A lovely print of a succulent-filled planter box from the shop AmberAlexander.




I would take every single succulent sculpture from WaterStone Succulents if I could.  Why must I choose?  Why?!?



Ooh!  Succulent wedding invitations from Oak and Orchard.



Four trends — concrete, metallic, geometric and succulents — combine with these planters from Fox and Ramona.

Take me to the beach...



I've been inspired to create some ocean-themed library card art this summer, like this sea urchin (above) and starfish (below.) I love to hand-paint gold accents every time someone orders a print to give each print a personalized touch.
