Another cheap plant score

So I went to Lowes the other day to get the hooks for the bathroom and I couldn't stop myself from checking out their clearance plant section. I knew I had a few empty flower pots at home so I figured that I might be able to score a cute little plant for one of them....and it just so happens that I did! The fact that we have had some unusually warm days here in RVA (which I have been loving) makes me want to bring more of the outdoors in. I even had the windows open for awhile and it was AWESOME! I can't wait for spring and I hope that this spring brings a nice change to my life.

Anyways, back to the plant. I found a nice leafy plant that had a few brown leaves for get this, only $1.50! Score! I brought that little guy home and gave him a spot on the dresser in our bedroom. Hurray for cleaner air and something pretty to look at. Mia has already attacked him but he stood his ground and will live to see another day, and I am keeping a closer eye on that little monster. Here he is in all his glory! It may sound strange, but it makes me happy to think that I gave this little guy a home when most people wouldn't want him. What can I say, I'm a sucker for adopting cute creatures.

Goodwill Finds

So I was at Lowe's the other day getting paint supplies, which we haven't used yet but it's getting closer, and I wondered into the plant and garden section and happened upon their clearance area for plants. I, for one, did not know that they had a plant clearance area. It's mainly for plants that don't look their best, i.e. yellowing or browning leaves, so they mark them down for people like me who think that the plant still has a chance and doesn't mind trying to keep it alive and well. So for $2 buckaroos I brought me home a nice little plant with a few leaves that were browning at the tips. I was super excited about this new plant because Mia had just recently demolished my biggest avocado plant that I had been growing for the past 2-3 years (tear). I was also excited because this plant was the perfect size for the edible arrangements flower pot that I scored at Goodwill a few weeks ago for just a few bucks. So here is the newest addition to the Chafee tribe. I am hoping that it will have a long and happy life here at our humble abode and that Mia keeps her paws and teeth away from it!
