{ teahouse by a1 architects }

A tiny teahouse designed for gathering with friends for tea, retreating from daily stresses and contemplating the natural surroundings from the new perspective inside the teahouse.

A remarkable balance between modern and traditional architecture, i especially love the domed ceiling that filters natural light into the space. Teahouse designed by A1 Architects.

This wedding has everything I love - owls, succulents, birch tree vases, moss, decorative frames and you guessed it, terrariums as table centerpieces and food displays!

These are shots from the first wedding style highlight in the new wedding ezine, Utterly Engaged.

{ terrariums at sprout home }

You may recall my love for terrariums from my last terrarium post, and it seems that I cannot escape these delightful environments!

About two weeks ago I was out exploring Williamsburg, stopping by Sprout Home for the first time to peruse their collection of succulents. I was amazed by the large terrariums positioned proudly in the middle of the store. I bombarded Tassy with a multitude of terrarium questions (sadly, mine is not thriving) and she kindly answered all of them, and sent me home with a sheet of guidelines and tips.

A week later, Design*Sponge posted (the above) video tutorial for terrariums by Sprout Home! What an awesome coincidence.

{ oh, today... }

Well, I was going to type up some more posts, but then I spilled a big bowl of cereal all over Justin's Nikon and my travel bag and my free time is being spent frantically cleaning, washing, drying, repacking, and trying to make it to the Boltbus on time to travel to Boston for the holiday weekend... UGH!

Have a great extended weekend!

"This is a super cute way to add a little color to any room or table setting. Wheatgrass is really easy to grow and care for. Just add your own potting soil and in 7-9 days your grass will be looking fabulous!"

{ 2 } Porcelain Egg Votive by Revisions Design Studio
"These candles glow beautifully in their translucent porcelain shells. Made from 100% U.S. grown soy wax... When the candle is done burning, you can clean out the shell and use as a decorative accessory.

{ 3 } Egglings
"The precious, little eggling looks and feels like an extra large egg, but crack its top and discover a garden ready to grow!"
