Find a miniature terrarium landscape

thesimplethings June 8, 2012

Slug and the squirrel terranium The Slug and the Squirrel have done something magical to the humble terrarium.

In their unique designs, wild mosses, locally grown plants, sand and earth find their home in vintage and found bottles and jars of all kinds, to create whimsical designs inspired by far-away landscapes.

Pop over to The Slug and the Squirrel's beautiful website to see their unique range of terrariums for yourself.

If you fancy making one of your own, pop over to crafty blog The Little Red House for a terrarium how to. We love the way blogger Sheena has chosen straight-edged jars, and used her terrariums as quirky book ends.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
