Spring projects

I have been admiring terrariums online for a few months now. I love the different jars and the pretty bitof green the moss brings. I have been waiting for the chance to make one all winter. We have lots of moss in our front yard so I figure now is the perfect time. What I really wanted was a really great apothecary jar to build it in. I thought the height & interesting shape would look good on my dining room table. But my decor budget is tight so I headed to the thrift store instead. Lucky for me I found some great things there. The cutest glass jar that looks like an acorn. I can't wait to finish it, hopefully it turns out ok. The girls are excited to help me put it together. On Etsy I found lots of cute gnome houses and mushrooms for terrariums. I think they will be so cute. The other cute thing I found was a little cheese board with a glass dome cover. I think I am going to paint the board white and make a cute spring arrangement under glass. Maybe a bird & nest or eggs. We'll see...
