Sometimes a cup and saucer with a bit of ivy, sometimes a silver creamer full of butter pats, at Christmas it houses a manger scene. Sometimes it has a candle (battery) in a pretty dish, or a dish turned sideways with a faux plant spilling out...etc., etc.. You will have so much fun with your beautiful case.....you got a really good deal!!!<br />Be blessed,<br />JJaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140775009986030091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-9411330306407612562015-04-17T09:43:11.523-04:002015-04-17T09:43:11.523-04:00What a find!

I think it's time to revisit those days, thanks to your inspiration and shopping savvy.

I just called them terrariums. Thanks for informing me with the history of them. I've always wanted one, too, and found one at HomeGoods, but didn't buy it. I went back to get it, and it was gone. Oh well, it wasn't meant to be! I love yours and how you've decorated it with the cute plants. Enjoy your fun, new purchase. kitty@ Kitty's Kozy Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803962513834013589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-84826287185345945212015-04-16T19:58:59.222-04:002015-04-16T19:58:59.222-04:00Very interesting read.

Sulfuric acid must have made people sick along with the plants.<br /> I would love to get one now, and I'm thinking a fairy garden would be nice in one. I keep forgetting about the hobby lobby that opened near by. <br />betsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285774814387516190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-7293232151814671972015-04-16T18:05:51.541-04:002015-04-16T18:05:51.541-04:00Denise, The history about the Wardian case was ver...Denise, The history about the Wardian case was very interesting. I love the verdigris finish too. I have a tray that has a similar look. I love Hobby Lobby because they make nice things affordable. You have given me an idea for my porch because the squirrels keep eating my potato vine.<br /><br />Have I told you before I had the same wallpaper in my other house that you have in your foyer? just noticed it on your sidebar.<br /><br />Have a good weekend.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09559612002837383953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-41718128622885034792015-04-16T10:44:34.928-04:002015-04-16T10:44:34.928-04:00Love the education I got today about Wardian cases...Love the education I got today about Wardian cases.
