Hey, ya’ll. Jordan has been working on a few projects, including a complete room overhaul, but while she is getting everything tucked in, I’m here to share. I mentioned in Monday’s post that I bought a little somethin’, somethin’ at the antique show this past week-end. That admission came after an explanation about how liberating it was to get rid of half of our belongings when we down-sized almost three years ago. I also added that my new purchase has a potential shelf life, but I hope not…… I hope not, but it could happen.
I’ve been jonesing for a fiddle leaf fern, and when I saw this lovely, she became mine. She is gorgeous. Her leaves are a little wonky right now, but they will settle down once she finds the sunlight coming through our windows.
One of the nice things about the Bluegrass Trust Antiques and Garden Show is that they have items in a variety of price ranges. Someone can purchase a vintage postcard for $3.00 or a fine piece of furniture or art for thousand of dollars. Also, in addition to great antiques, there are some great nurseries selling plants.
Even though our great room has some plants, I thought this book case needed to be anchored by a plant to soften it somewhat. I just happened to have an old six-gallon crock that is the perfect vessel for holding my new purchase.
Hopefully, my green thumb will kick into fourth gear, and this little lady will grow and flourish in its new home.
This is such a unique plant. Many years ago I was manager at a garden center and we would get these in. We bought one and it was so pretty. One of my favorite plants is the MIng Aralia. I think you would really like it. They are so pretty but are very easy to grow.
