    Thanks for your website Ruth! Every time I visit, it feels like I’m at a spa! (-: Just a nice relaxing place to stop by! I’ve had air plants before, and would like to do something creative with them also. I have a beautiful antique mirror….hummmmm….

    Ruth, I love this! My mind is spinning now where I could do something like this. What a cool idea!
    So, I found this website: http://www.airplantsupplyco.com/collections/air-plants-all
    They have a ton of different air plants. I’ll probably have to do some shopping! :)

    I think I’m going to get my air plant through etsy. I contacted TortoiseLovesDonkey, the etsy shop connected to the 4th photo down on this post. They seem to have good prices and lovely style! Let me know if you all get some…send me pics too!
