March is my birthday month, and my fiancé planned a surprise weekend trip to Austin for us. We did a little shopping and a lot of eating! The main thing on my agenda was to find a nursery to get some succulents for a terrarium project I’ve been wanting to do. I love the vitality that plants bring to a room. With a quick google search, we found Tillery Street Plant Company. It was an awesome little gem nestled in a quaint neighborhood. They had an amazing plant selection and the staff was friendly and helpful. (I asked for some tips about watering because I tend to over water.) I found everything I needed for my project. I didn’t really know what I was doing, so I just kind of winged it. It was fun to get my hands dirty! I am super happy with how it turned out. I hope I can keep the plants healthy and happy! If any of you have a green thumb, I’d love some tips!
Tillery Street Plant Company in Austin, TX.
Succulents for days.
I made a new kitty friend!
These were our final selections.
My glass bowl plus some potting mix.
Pro tip: Don’t spill it all over the floor like I did.
I added the plants, some gray rocks, and a crystal for good vibes.
I’m moving in less than a week, and I will finally have a proper dining space again! I’ll miss my teeny tiny city apartment, but it was not the best place for entertaining. I’m basically starting from scratch in this area and there are so many possibilities. It’s not a huge space, but a small space can still have big style. I’m loving combinations of acrylic, brass, marble, whites, blues and pinks. However my new space turns out, you can bet it won’t look like anyone else’s!
It is July in Houston, TX and it is HOT!!! It’s sweltering even with the air conditioner running full blast 24 hours a day, but over the weekend, my AC went out. It was the fourth of July weekend, so maintenance was no where to be found. It was scorching hot! All I could think about was packing my bags and going on vacation somewhere with plenty of water and a nice tropical breeze. At least I got a chance to plan the perfect getaway outfit. I chose these cut up jeans to provide some coverage from the sun, but also provide plenty of air flow to keep cool. I thought this pineapple tank was absolutely adorable! He’s so cute with his heart-shaped glasses. I am absolutely obsessed with the fringy multi-colored sandals. Throw on a few chic accessories, some sunblock, and call it summer ready.
Overall, we REALLY enjoyed it. It made for a fun and relaxing date night in. I’m still no Julia Child, but I felt like it for one night! We will definitely be ordering more.
