I made these cute mini terrariums last night for a display behind our cash wrap counter. There are tiny vases filled with dirt, moss and rocks as well as tons of mason jars with black and white family photos. I still want to add a few details to the terrariums. Having SO much fun! XO. elsie
Also... I can't believe it's October 1st tomorrow! Here's the winner from the Extra Pretty Giveaway with Arian Armstrong and Kaela Bee. Out of over 1,500 entries.... Congratulations..... EVA!

Your shop is going to be so amazing! I wish I was your best friend so I could just hang out there all the time!
I'll just have to settle for making a road trip down to see it someday.

They're all gorgeous! I've been procrastinating starting my own terrarium. I've been drooling over them on etsy forever!

So gorgeous! What a genius way to display, and something that can easily be switched out for different seasons too! <3

This is beautiful. It somehow reminds me about funerals though. Probably the pics and candles next to each other in such a peaceful way...

I'm sorry, but I'm stealing the mason jar frame idea. That's fantastic.
