small worlds


Last weekend at Bizarre Bazaar, I found the most amazing tiny things - wee villages and terrariums by The Oak Leaves. I was so charmed by her little cities and tiny moss terrariums in apple juice bottles that I had to bring one of each home. I can't get over the details on the little houses - open doors, dormer windows, and thatched roofs - and I just love the shape of the apple juice bottle. I wish I had bought more of her terrariums - they are lovely.
Now, every time I look at my window sill, I feel a surge of happy.

That is the cutest thing ever. (I said that in a really tiny voice.)

I used to make terrariums as a kid and still have an affection for them.

amazing...I am of the firm belief that anything cool is even better in mini. and that goes for terrariums too apparently!

oh, and is the martinelli's apple juice bottle not the most exquisite piece of everyday design ever?

The Martinelli apple juice bottles are one of my favorite things ever - it made me love the wee terrarium that much more.

I love the Martinelli apple juice bottles, so to have one with a terrarium- amazing! And that little village is too sweet.
