A HUGE thank you to everyone who commented or tweeted in response to my baby news - you guys are the best!
Ever since the garden shops closed for the season and succulents became impossible to find, I've been really wanting to add a few to our house (I have great timing). On Tuesday night I was in Michael's pondering the exorbitant price they're charging for wool roving, when I stumbled across some plastic succulents. I know you're probably silently praying that I didn't buy one (spoiler alert: I did), but hear me out. I'm normally not a fan of fake plants, but I've been killing a lot of plants lately (not on purpose, mind you) and it kind of seemed like the right thing to do.

Also, it was on sale and I figured I could afford a $4 chance. Here's what I came home with (in addition to pictures of something at HomeSense I'm trying to convince my husband to let me buy):

I`m not generally a huge fake plant lover, but these ones are actually pretty realistic!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! And great return on investment! I have a few real ones that, after figuring out what I can grow and what I tend to kill, have survived and look great. Great find! What was it that you spotted at HomeSense? I take pictures in that store too ;)
ReplyDeleteI too cannot keep my plants alive despite great effort, so I say do it up!
ReplyDeletei can't believe i killed my succulents...so these look tempting.
ReplyDeleteAn upholstered headboard! Still working on convincing my husband that this is a 'must-have' item!
ReplyDeleteI know, I'm awful! I feel like I used to be able to keep plants alive, but I've been having trouble finding 'happy' places for plants in this house! Oh, and I've accidentally drowned more plants than I care to admit!
ReplyDeleteThey look surprisingly real in person and I love that I'm not a danger to them :)
