My Thrift Store Addiction : creeping fig

Hello, Friends! I don't know about you, but my mood can be greatly influenced by my surroundings--this is particularly the case during the winter months. I think this is one of the reasons decorating my home is such a priority. I love walking into a cheerful kitchen, especially since it is the first thing to greet me when I come home. One of the ways I create this feeling is by changing out my Vintage table cloths. When I spotted this one, I was instantly smitten with its combination of crisp stripes and pretty florals. After it was time to put away my Christmas cloth, I couldn't wait to get this one on the table. As anticipated, it instantly brightened my spirits--like having a rose garden in my kitchen!

Greetings Friends! I am a southern girl. I do not do cold well and quickly tire of the long gray days of Winter--even our mild ones here in Texas. I have found one of the quickest ways to beat the January blues is by bringing the outdoors inside. Now to be honest, I normally tend to have better luck with things I can plant in the ground rather than typical houseplants. However, by trial and error I have found a few "easy" indoor plants and flowers that are pretty and resilient. Combining them with thrift store containers provides an inexpensive, creative way to brighten your mood while also improving the air quality in your home--win, win! I thought I would share some of my favorites with you. First, is cheerful Primrose. It comes in an array of bright colors and I usually find it with the grocery store flowers; this one was $1.99. It is easy to care for, just remove the blooms as they fade and be careful not to over water it. Here it is displayed in a Vintage tin with a collection of my thrifted finds.
