Day One Hundred Twenty Four. 5.13.11

Moss Garden

This is a detail that I've created for my home.  I did a lovely project today -- it's something I've been talking about doing for at least 6 months, and I finally did it!  I love moss, so I wanted to create a moss garden.  When I grow up and have a house of my own, I plan on making a nice big peaceful one outside too (if I have a spot for it).  Anyway, I went to Antiques on Main in Montpelier and bought a bunch of supplies, including this glass dish and Avon VW bug shaped cologne bottle.  I bought some potting supplies and went to the river to collect some stones for the bottom.  Then I collected some moss from around my house, lifting it with my kitchen spatula.  Finally, I added it all together, and voila!  A little  potted (or plated) moss garden.  I'm very proud of it.  And I look forward to seeing how it does.
