Vintage Botanica illustrations are some of my very favorite imagery.

The attention to detail of the representations are not only informative but posses a unique lovliness. I collect herbalism, botanical, and gardening books and many of them have beautiful full color images of the plants in study. These images are some I have collected while meandering cyber space as I do not have digital versions of my print collection.

 Spent the day filling up the esty shop with a bunch of new jewelry and a few vintage pieces. 

Among a 1970s woven Native American belt and a 1960s grey floral frock dress, I listed raw Ametrine earrings and a Lapis Lazuli bracelet set.

 

A mid century design by Navajo artist Terry Martinez with sterling silver and dark turquoise gem stone. Size 5 1/2. Makes a wonderful pinky ring or a midi ring!

Replanted several of my succulent plants this weekend. They weren't doing so well in the deep

well pot they were planted in. So I decided to put them in shallow potting soil covered with a top layer of sand and rocks. They seem to be happier.

 

Picked up the glass fishbowl, sand, and decorative rocks at Michaels for around $10.

The lovely brass filigree bowl was a Christmas gift from my husband, and makes the perfect

stand for it.
