the garden.

After our trip to the nursery, it was time to get the succulents planted :)
Target had these PERFECT plastic pots which were exactly what I was looking for.  I also loved how affordable they were.  I also scored some other planters as well that I am saving for flowers.


Unfortunately, we had about four carpenter bees hanging outside on our balcony so we decided to do our planting in the kitchen instead :)


A few years ago, I ordered the adorable little dino planter from this shop.  The succulent in the dino was getting too big so I wanted to transplant it and put a newer, smaller one in the dinosaur.


After everything was planted, we set everything up outside and enjoyed the fresh air :)


We also transplanted the lavender too and can I just say that it already smells so amazing out there!!!  I can't wait for the lavender to really take off!!


Now we have a lovely little outside area to read with Amelia and relax outdoors.  The weather has been so great here and we are loving soaking it all up together!!


Also, I scored this amazing rug at the DOLLAR STORE!!  It is so perfect and fun and cheap. Plus, it looks so perfect out there with all of the other bright colors :)


Next up in the garden, I am going to be making an herb garden!!
Stacy posted this herb garden she made and I am in love with it.


Her directions make it sound super easy to recreate and it will go perfectly out on our balcony!  This is definitely a project I will trying out soon :)
I hope you all are having an awesome weekend as well!!
Today my friends and family threw Amelia and I a little "shower" of sorts!  It was incredible and I can not wait to share photos with you!!!
blessings!

  1. I love those planters! I saw them at Target and thought the same thing- great for succulents! :)

    The Carpenter bees don't bother you much, do they? I gardened professionally and was always surrounded by them. I got stung only once and that was because a little guy landed on my hose and I clamped my hand down on him.

    Your balcony looks very sweet. Spring has sprung!

  6. I love the dinosaur planters. In fact, I've been trying to place a custom order with that exact seller for months, I thought the planters would be so perfect in my sons nursery (http://ricracheartattack.squarespace.com/ric-rac-heart-attack/2012/3/21/baby-boys-nursery.html.
    I see they are now on vacation so hopefully I can get a response when they return.
