Cold and Sick - Trying to keep up

Yes, I know its been way too long since I wrote in my blog and I do apologize for that. I've had a nasty cough and congestion that has been keeping me from sleeping very much in the last 3 weeks and have just generally felt like someone took a hammer to me. I am finally starting to feel better and trying to get caught up with my holiday sales and markets. 

I am still offering free shipping on many of my items in both shops right now, this sale will continue through December 31st, 2009. Take a peek at Dakorah Gardens to find a fabulous moss terrarium or succulent garden for a loved one or co-worker. I'm in the process of liquidating my Dakorah Designs shop right now and have marked down allot of prices and offering free shipping on several items.

I hope everyone has a great holiday season, stay safe and don't drink and drive! :) 

Happy Holidays

Bonsai and Succulents Oh My!

Well I've had the itch to get into Bonsai for quite some time now. I have been enamored with the art of Bonsai for too many years to remember. I finally decided to jump in head first with some of the Jade plants I have and see if I have the patience for the art of Bonsai. I also started a Pony Tail Palm for Bonsai as well. I will keep you updated on my progress, I have great intentions of course so I hope it keeps my attention. :)

I planted a few new succulents yesterday too. I found a set of four cobalt blue ceramic Tiki cups that look like they have crazy hair with the succulents I planted in them. They are SO SO cute!

 Oh and I can't forget the oh so fabulous vintage white calf planter I found! I planted a Hobbit succulent in it that looks too cute. 

The Holidays are fast approaching, so get your shopping done early. These little succulents make great gifts. They look fantastic on a desk or work space. They also make fabulous housewarming gifts. Be careful though, they are highly addictive! I can vouch for that - I have a really hard time passing one up when I find a new one that I don't have in my collection. 

Have a Happy Turkey Day and drive safe if you're traveling during the Holiday season!
