welcome to the world, little one!

this is my sister-in-law, diane, & her new little girl, reagan. one day old.

and this cute little porcelain bassinet was her mom, susie's, from when diane was born in 1978. it's been tucked away all these years for this special moment this past saturday when reagan was born. i created a little succulent memento for them that is so precious & meaningful. 

welcome to the world, little one!

d.i.y. stencil pots

saw a similar idea recently on pinterest and just had to try it!

these containers were fabulously simple to create. just get some terra cotta pots, do a whitewash with some watered down cream or white acrylic paint. then paint on numbers or letters using a stencil and black paint. use a dry brush and some undiluted paint to distress the surface even further. then plant whatever suits your fancy. 

a collection of a several of them really do make a statement. get creative!
