To Air is human.....


What makes a cute gift?  Air plants!!
These are the perfect plant for the low maintenance 
folks!  Besides being easy to care for- they look so stunning on 
a windowsill, in a beautiful dish or bowl, accessorizing your
vintage milk glass collection... 

A few tips for keeping your air plant happy:
                        1.  Lighting should be bright but filtered (direct sunlight is a no no)                  
  2. Thoroughly wet your plant approximately 2 or 3 times a week
                               3. Air plants will not survive in standing water- so never leave an air plant soaking
  4.  Ideal climate for an air plant is 50-90 degrees F                      

Mainly, air plants just like to hang out and look really cool, so if you can handle that- 
this may be the plant for you!








beyond flowers

This book was first published around 1890, at a time when the writing of letters
was an essential part of every day life.  Though the social etiquette 
of the period is very much in evidence it only adds to it's interest  
in this time of instant communication.
