Do you ever ...

get an idea that you can't let go? A silly thing - like a Wardian Case, planted with moss and miniature plants and a miniature fountain, maybe some miniature outdoor furniture?

The nice thing about being my age is that I can go ahead and just buy one! And next, I'll have to start looking for the miniature plants to put in it.

I think there is a part of me that never really grew up. I was pretty much a tomboy as a child, but I always loved pretending that my model horses were real, and I built miniature paddocks and pastures in the back yard out of twigs and clover chains. I always wanted to build a big Victorian doll house, but there has never really been a reason to do that, since my only child is a boy! (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were a lot of fun to play with, too!)

But I figure that crating a miniature garden in a Wardian Case is a little like building a doll house, and might be a bit more acceptable for a grown up woman to do.

Fortunately, I have a wondrous husband who supports whatever I want to try out, no matter how often I decide to try something different!
