the garden you never have to water, and that will never die

**This giveaway has ended.  The winning comment was…

#62, from Laura who blogs at Thimbleful Of Time!  Congrats, Laura!

It’s time for me to make some space on my front door for something new (and you all know I have a no-storage rule for stuff like this since I live in a tiny 834-square-foot-condo), so today I’m giving away my Hanging “Succulent Garden” made from pistachio shells.

To enter, just leave a comment on this blog post. That’s it!

Please note that I can only ship to the U.S. and Canada.
One entry per person please.
Be sure that you leave an email address in the Email field of the comment section (it won’t be published) so that I can contact you if you win.
Giveaway will end at midnight (CST) on Friday, November 2, 2012, and the winner will be announced on this post on Saturday, November 3, 2012.
Winner will be chosen by random.org.

And of course, if you don’t win, and you want your own vertical “succulent garden” made from pistachio shells, you can find the DIY details here.

    you are so talented, I love all these things you do, and to give away something like this is awesome. I am 84 yrs old. and I just love looking at all your things you do. and wishing I was young again and could make all of these things. but the wreath for the door, it would probably take me a year to make that, so pretty.

  56. Michele M says:

    Beautiful! I can’t believe you are giving away with all of the time you put into it. Love it and would be happy to display in my house. :) . Thank you. Michele M

  57. Kristie Prachar says:

    How awesome is this?! I so wish my brain worked like how some of these creative folks brains work! Mine is so full of useless crap it has turned into something that what I think a bowl of oatmeal looked like!! Have a nice rest of your night!

  58. I love this and was going to try my hand at making one someday lol. With the luck of the draw I might own one sooner.

  59. This is the cutest thing *ever*!!! I adore it! So pretty yet subtle! :)

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE this succulent garden door “wreath”! So fun, funky, and unique, and I’ll be honest, it is something I would love to do, but I just would never take the time to go to that much work. If you give me this wreath, I promise to pass it on to another lucky friend when I redecorate :)

  61. I love your amazing work!
