Fine fakery

I'm no longer the biggest fan of fake plants -they used to be my go to because of my brown thumb, but now that my thumbs are very slightly green, I have less affinity for plastic and silk.

Nevertheless, the felines despise real plants [which is why I have to put mine in glass] so on a table at the top of the stairs, a fake fern and a cute little owl statuette make for a nice, cat-proof display and they add a little maintenance-free greenery to the place.

Today, I stopped into Metropolitan Wholesale and found out the place is awesome! I picked up some ferns and some outdoor plants and a nice terra cotta pot for a reasonable price, so I spent the evening making more gardens. Pictures tomorrow! I started late, so I lost the light and I don't really know if they turned out okay or not, so hopefully they'll look okay in the morning. 

I really wonder what my sudden craving for green things is all about. I've spent years ignoring plants because they didn't seem to like me, and now I can't get enough of them. I actually spend more time on line looking at plant pictures than I used to spend looking at cat pictures! [Maybe that's why the cats hate the plants so much?]
