Sometimes it’s nice to let go of the big picture and focus on the little one.  

Like a tiny plant.

Decorated in mini Christmas lights.

Planted in a little thrifted creamer.

You get the idea?

I picked this little guy up while shopping for boxwood the other day.  I couldn’t leave him.  He was just SO cute!

So I made instant plans to plant another tiny plant for Christmas like I did last year with the succulent in a mug. 

And then….. and then I saw the mini lights.  They were on sale for $1.62.  Mine!

So I got home and considered reusing last year’s mug… but the mug was too big for this little tiny plant.  So, I brought out this too-small creamer which I rarely even use because of its size.  Perfect.

It’s a zebra cactus, by the way.  It’s a succulent which is slow-growing and often thought to be a type of aloe.  It’s officially a Christmas cactus now.  At least in my house!

It’s now sitting by the recliner with some old books and a snow globe.  Looking quite festive!

Don’t you think?

I just can’t get enough of it!  For just about $6 (if you count the cost of the thrifted creamer), this would make a sweet gift for a teacher, co-worker, hostess, or anyone who happens to love tiny plants!

 Now please cross your fingers that I don’t kill this one too!
