Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s the kids in our neighborhood did a lot of things together. Parents didn’t worry about where we were because in our neighborhood someone always knew where we were hanging out. We all knew about the consequences. We would be in big trouble if we weren’t home by the time the street lights came on. During this same time one of my neighbors, Mrs. H, was really into crafts and loved sharing thing with the kids to do. I can remember her showing me how to build a terrarium for the first time too. If I remember correctly, it was a mason jar on its side. It contained some sorts of cactus we had. It also contained plants that we found growing in the yard. It also contained driftwood and shells from the lake. Fast move 30+ years… my latest creation. Yes..I think I get a little crazy with crafts and will try anything at least once.
Supplies: Glass cube with stopper. Fish tank gravel and charcoal. A tiny bit of sand. Moss from the woods beside our home. A small fern found growing in the shade. One of my granite stones from Long Island, NY. Yes, I am one of those people who bring back stones in their luggage.
