These past few seasons Emma and I have really fallen in love with plants! We've enjoyed slowly adding them to our homes and learning about all the different varieties. I recently started visiting Wickman's and it's become a rotating local stop. They have so many pretty plants and flowers. I recently picked up a bunch of mums for my front porch!
We started out our plant obsession by buying cute little succulents and cacti. Recently, we've been picking up more air-purifying house plants, and we are quickly amassing a pretty good collection!
We've found that plant shopping is the perfect treat. Today we bought a bunch of snake plants for our office space and my bedroom. Fun!
Thanks so much for reading! We will be back soon so share more local spots we love. We hope that even if you don't live in our area that these posts will encourage you to seek out fun spots where you live! There's nothing better than loving your hometown. ♥ Elsie + Emma




These are amazing! I love a good nursery - we have one close to home that has a great succulent selection (I recently started a collection also!). Your post gives me an itch to go visit again. :)

Elsie, you make me want to get bangs again, but I'm scared of the upkeep. Those moccasins are adorable.

Snake plants last forever. It'll be nice to see how it's grown over the years while you're in your new home.

Amazing pictures! You should pick up an orchid next time. They are beautiful and very low maintenance. Thanks for sharing!

I love those snakes plants, here we call them sanseviera, they were so trendy back in the 70's and 80's that people got bored and they stopped using them to decorate interiors, but now they are getting trendy again!

All these flowers are beautiful. I love garden shopping in cool weather. I love your moccasins, and Elsie's leather jacket, too. Where did you get it?

Plants are one of my big loves! This post reminds me of my latest entry on Deep Cut Gardens in Middletown, NJ. Lots of lovely cactus and succulent shots :)

I've just gotten into plant's and gardening too! I love it! Every other weekend we're at the hardware store picking up new plants too. We even name ours! That's not weird, is it? ;)
