Lifelong Crush: Succulents

I've always had a crush on succulents.  They are low maintenance, unique and jaw dropping.  My house hosts a family of jade plants that have been reproducing like jack rabbits.  Perfect for the forgetful green thumb, they only need to be watered about twice a month and can live in moderate light.

I stumbled across this Etsy artisan a few days ago and have been drooling over their goods.  Succulents Galore hails from southern California and offers a variety of my little loves.  For me, the most eye catching are the wreaths (pictured below).  The most tempting of offerings live in the cuttings section. I'll be honest, the entire shop is pretty hard for me to resist. 

       

Here's another gorgeous Etsy find from the artist Carol Schiff.  This 12x12 oil painting is stunning.  I'd like a trio please!  They'd be perfect, well, anywhere in my house.  She seems to appreciate the succulent as much as I do. 

 

Looking for wearable art?  Check out this little ring from Woodland Belle.  I have to admit, it took me a few minutes to figure out if it was made with living succulents.  It's pretty amazing that its made from a plastic compound.  This is a must for the succulent obsessed.
