shady corner of the front yard!

a few tips for working with moss:

*i've found that using a flat metal kitchen spatula works best for removing moss from your yard (or a field... but NOT a neighbor's yard!) without it breaking into pieces.

*when harvesting 'fuzzy' moss, shake it out a bit to remove twigs, leaves, and bugs. (nothing worse than transporting pests into your home!)

*i fill pots with styro nuggets or wadded plastic bags, a bit of potting soil, and then place moss on top. makes them lighter in weight - and with moss, drainage is not an issue. they LIKE wet feet!

*mist moss every day, and keep out of bright sunlight.

a few photo stylist tips:

*the miniature glass 'domes' shown in my photos here are actually upside-down stemless wineglasses (like Reidel O series).

*those sprouting bulbs you see in the photos here? FAKE. this photo shoot was done in january, before any tulips or daffodil bulbs had begun to grow. i used onions that had sprouted in a basket in my kitchen. :)

the fridge easy and efficient. By installing plastic placemats onto shelves and into condiment containers, there is no longer any need for hauling out large, awkward shelves (which, let's face it, do not fit into most sinks). Simply slip out the placemat, wipe it down and re-install! Easy, efficient and - happily enough - kind of pretty!
