Today I wanted to share with you my beloved little succulent bowl. Much effort went into getting this sucker {pun intended!} perfect.
First I hit Lowe's to gather my little succulent friends. I had an idea of the size of bowl I wanted so I made a little round display of the ones I loved in my cart. I literally stood in front of my cart for twenty minutes to get it right. And on a Saturday, people at Lowe's do not like you hogging the aisle. Nonetheless, I got exactly what I wanted after much debating.
I wanted a bit of a layering affect which is why I added tall ones in the back. I also lean more towards the flowery shaped ones...they create a softer less spiky look that I like. Variety in color also makes it look a bit ombre.
The bowl for these succulents took me about twenty times longer to find than actually putting this thing together. I saw this planter at Target for $20 and thought it was way too expensive. So I hit all my favorite discount stores only to find myself disappointed as nothing was as perfect as the one at Target. So I dragged myself back to Target after driving all around town to pick up my perfect succulent bowl. Just deep and wide enough with a little bit of a lip. Lesson learned: trust Target.
For all the succulents and bowl...it was a bit pricey at $50...so you know I am babying this thing everyday praying it lives for a looooong time!
Love the photos? I sure do! We got a new camera! The D800! 36 megapixels! Who needs that?! Apparently my husband does!
And a new lens! LOVE. We are totally legit!
End of screaming exclamation points!!!
Are you crazy for succulents this season?
