Thrifty Find

I have been on a terrarium making kick for some time as exhibited HERE. So I can not express how thrilled I was to discover this little gem at a thrift store this weekend and with my teacher discount I scored it for only $4.25!! I could not wait to hit the plant store for some supplies so I  headed out first thing this morning and scored some half dead plants at Lowe’s for only ¢.25 each. I am confident that I can totally bring them back to life. Those plants combined with a bunch of free spider plants that my friend Tom gave me and I have an awesome display and spent under $6 (note: I had the soil, terrarium supplies and root grow on hand already.) Thrilled beyond!
