Back to School

It has been a joy to scroll through my Facebook feed and see so many happy faces of kids and teachers excited to go back to school. Even if you're not going back to school this season, August tends to be a season of transition from summer fun into anticipation of cooler fall temperatures and fun fall activities. In honor of those transitions, I wanted to share some of our recently created products that you might like to send a friend or just to put something fresh on your own desk.

First up are the Shimmering Succulents.
These little beauties feature a sweet selection of succulents that are accented by amethyst crystals. Amethyst is thought to have many healing properties, and can help cleanse the mind of stress and negative thoughts. That makes it a natural choice for an office or desk, where it can work it's magic on stressful days.

Another fun addition to the plant lineup are our mini cacti and succulents. 

Cactus plants are thought to symbolize endurance and longevity. Don't be afraid of the cacti's prickly reputation, these make a great gift for a friend who is facing a literal or metaphorical journey, to celebrate recovery from addiction or physical injury, or to remind yourself that you can thrive in your environment and not just survive. 

These cuties come in a hand-painted terra cotta pot and are very low maintenance. We had so much fun putting them together, that we decided to create a giant cactus out of reindeer moss to display them all on. Stop by our Gay Street store and check it our for yourself :-)

In our next post, I'll share some of the summer floral treasures we've been creating with beautiful flowers from some of our local growers.
