Flickr user danielleosflaq posted this tiny scene with the following:

"today, I'm sharing with you something very beautiful my friend John made.To make this little garden, he used real plants such as moss from the side of our building, echeveria (a type of succulent), hens&chicks, weeping rosemary, creeping thyme, a bonsai tree, a small mundo grass, kingsville boxwood, several more plants I cannot remember the names right now, black fine sand, rocks and little bamboo sticks. I think it is quite impressive....dont you???"

Tiny things are so darn cute.

I couldn't help saying "oohhmygooodness!!!" out loud when I first saw this.

Stumbled upon these instructions for moss graffiti over at instructables and I'm already plotting to hide some somewhere on my parents' farm- just have to settle on a design. shh...

 

Finally! A place for my junk mail.

Definitely making this paper-recycling tote for my apartment.
