happy hale*days 09: gifting edition

little wonders

hopefully, everyone has been busy with their holiday preparations and failed to notice my unintended absence this week. alas, between tending to a lovely new project, nursing the mister back to health over the weekend, and hurriedly finishing up all the little holiday details, this year's gifting guide got pushed (and pushed) to the back burner.

Leigh these are great! Love love love the living vases. In SF hanging floral frames (floraframe.com) and little terrariums have been so HOT. Do you know if Living Vase mails to the mainland?

aloha leslie!

succulents have become a favorite of mine lately and i am loving the living vases concept.

i think 1st look exteriors, the maker of the vases, will ship to the mainland but not 100% certain.
click here for their contact details and keep us posted.
