Tortuary?

So on Friday, my Mom and I went Thrift Shopping and scored big! I found some great vintage fabric to make totes out of, a small dress form to use as table decoration at craft fairs, an old wood mail sorter that’s hanging in my living room to sort magazines and this fabulously huge jar!

It has a cut-out at the top of the jar about the size of an out stretched hand. When I saw the jar just sitting on the bottom shelf I knew instantly that I wanted to make a little enclosed garden out of it! I had seen a segment on these self-sustaining gardens on Martha but couldn’t remember what they were called. I went the entire day calling it a “Tortuary” before my mother informed me that they were actually called “Terraiums.” Doh!

I like my name, Tortuary, better. Sounds tougher…”Don’t mess with me or I”ll put you in the Tortuary.”

Off to research which plants will do well in my Tortuary…err, I mean, Terrarium!
