Our Miniature Gardens Make us so Happy! :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(I made this little elephant myself out of wool felt and paperclay)

These are some of the terrariums from our collection.

I'm so excited to share them with you!

Natalie and I made them all, using nature's ingredients and lots of love :)

Also, I just have to let you know that we're so happy over here!!! Because the Dr. said that my brother's lung (which had collapsed after his surgery) is coming back to life. It's coming back little by little and that's something huge, like a miracle! NATURE and LOVE: they are two of the most wonderful mysteries ever, they can make miracles happen.

Wow Elsita! your terrariums are VERY BEAUTIFUL!!! I love them all!
I´m very glad for your brother, those are great news :)

The terrariums are like a little piece of magical love, something usually invisible, right there living and breathing right before us.

And they go perfectly with the wonderful news of your brother! Hugs to you all, dear Elsita.

p.s. do you have a source for those little tiny houses? Why do I already suspect you are going to tell me you made them yourself. :)

I wanna make a mini garden too! Maybe a cute lil gnome garden. :)

I love almost everything in miniature; don't know why, but there it is. The elephant is absolutely my favorite.

Celebrating your brother's lung. That's wonderful!

You are the best. Thanks for your continued inspiration! Blessings for the continued recovery of your brother!

Siempre que me paso por tu blog descubro la inmensa capacidad que tienes para inspirarnos a todos. Eres como una brisa de aire fresco, ofreciendo alternativas a los días grises. Todo lo que creas parece sacado de un cuento, no dejo de leerte ...

Oh my heavens...I have never seen transparent, hollow, glass birds! I'm swooning. I think I would fill them with all sorts of things...like sand and little seashells...or colorful beads and pearls...or tiny feathers...or little strips of poetry cut from an old book. Where oh where can I find such delightful little treasures????

[Susan Jonsson]

Hi Elsa, I am so happy that your brothers health is improving. I love how your post connects with this is a very subtle way, your terrariums containing small fragile things being nurtured into health like Rene's lung, even your leaf image evokes this idea for me. I really admire the ability you have to process your life in visual images, like your lovely bird images and the hummingbird story.

Terrariums - I remember a winter when my kids were really small, my daughter was only 6 months old and my son 3, we moved through a winter of snowsuits, darkness at 4:30, and the odd mix of joy and isolation that only parenting really small children can bring. As the weather moved from a long dull cold January, into an even longer colder and duller February, we all felt like the cold hard lifeless earth and frozen water surrounded us. We desperately needed some green: some water, some fragrant earth to fill us up with life again. I created a small terrarium in a bowl, like your deer and succulent one, and we used to sit and look into it as thought we were strolling through it. I can still remember what a relief it was to gaze into the green foliage and admire all the lush miniature plants and their energetic growth. The children especially seemed to be able to relate to it instantly. Thank you so much for sharing yours!

You may believe these four proverbs:
Better a frank denial than unwillig compliance.
By ignorance is pride increased; those most assume who know the least.
Beauty gains little, and homeliness and deformity lose much , by gaudy attire.
Being a well-dressed man is a career, and he who goes in for it has no time for anything else.
