Shaking it up in the 'Garden'

While perusing a {somewhat} local garden/nursery center this past weekend, I found something that just begged me to try it out. Amist the indoor salesroom, little wooden crates, long terra cotta pots and open topped glass boxes boasted the most adorable little dollhouse type accesories. I stood in awe of the extreme 'cute-ness' of them all. Each one looked so different from the others (each by a different 'artist') and I was hooked. So, I picked up a few pieces and headed home. I have had this wooden crate thingy in the garage for ages and now, it is the beginning of my 'tabletop garden'. I will (of course) add things as I go, including plants and tiny adorable things, but I had to share it with you. Mine is sitting on my front porch table, but the 'ZEN-ness' of it leads me believe that anyone who perhaps, hates the heat & humidity, lives in a non-garden-able area or even a home-bound loved one would just LOVE this!? Just had to share this quick thing, I have bigger things to turn my mind back to especially with back to school only two weeks away. Hope you  like it! Love, Emily
