Rose Bredl Gifts: Terrariums

Terrariums make amazing gifts, and we're happy to now carry our own version at Rose Bredl. This is the one Mary made me, a begonia made perfect with spongy moss, and lava rocks in a le parfait mason jar. I added the starry string lights for a extra touch of holiday magic.

Creative Spaces: Schue Love

* If you don't already daily read Schue Love, you should! It is chock full of inspiration for everything from DIY home renovation, to fashion advice! You'll quickly feel like BFF with author Natasha, who couldn't be sweeter!*

Hi Readers! It's Natasha from Schue Love and I am thrilled that the lovely Meredith from Rose Bredl asked me to share my creative space{s} with all of you today!

I feel like I pull my creativity from a lot of spaces within our home, but it seems like the kitchen always ends up being our centralized hub.

The large kitchen island has allowed me to cook, cut flowers, wrap presents, among many other crafts and creative projects. I feel at home in the kitchen...and a good amount of that is because I helped knock the floors in and tile the backsplash! That kitchen is "me" through and through.

Yep! We did it all on our own! :)

Here a photos of hubby and I cooking in the kitchen...doing what we enjoy most! I love that that we can cook together and as a team...it's great bonding time! You can find our favorite recipes {so far!} here.

Another place I get really creative is outdoors...while gardening!

We don't get a very long season...so when the summer comes around...you'll be sure to find us outdoors!

Love my little succulent here...

Our little frog friend!

One thing is for sure...I wish I ran a floral studio so that I could constantly be surrounded by beautiful flowers all day long! At least I have Rose Bredl's blog to go to! :)

Thanks again for having me Meredith!

*Thanks again Natasha for taking the time to share your creative space with us, we LOVE the container gardening- and all of your succulents throughout!

the main event

Wednesday night Rose Bredl fans had the opportunity to learn all about container gardening with herbs and succulents from GreenSpace designer Jay Logan. I learned so many things about the planting and caring of potted plants (thrill, fill, spill anyone?)- and everyone had a great time. We were also blessed to have photographer Emily B in attendance, and she was kind enough to share with us lovely photos of the event (I loved her potted succulents, bottom right.) I can hardly wait to attend the next event, Thank you Mary and Jay!

Remember Spring?

A new pot + a new plant = a happy spring from Rose Bredl.

*please let winter be over, already.

Lush and Luxe- the container garden

Spring is coming, and needless to say gardening is on the brain. We were completely blown away by McCullough Nursery's booth at the Central Ohio Home & Garden show- so lush and green and gorgeous! If you're looking for some amazing container gardening for a smaller urban (or suburban) yard, look no further. Read more about what you see, here.
