The ivy could very well be my favorite house plant.  I love the way it sprawls all over the place and trimming it should be a crime.

So this weekend hubby and I wanted to switch a roo a certain decorative piece on this coffee table.  I had no problems removing the item but I did want to replace it with a little somethin’ – somethin’.  Hubby requested the certain something be nice and low profile.

We had a little list of things to do, so while we were out shopping I picked up this little fella.  So happy hubby likes.

And the pot was just the ticket too.  On the list, I jotted down a sandy brown pot as I wanted a nice contrast with the dark Asian furniture.  Not only was it a nice contrast but it picked up the dark too, big perk for me.

I also scored some candles for the candle holders.

I’m so partial to these candle holders as my mom gave these to me a few years ago.  And they finally made themselves to home next to this Asian piece of furniture.  The candles are vanilla scented but I can’t express how many times I picked up the pumpkin scented candles and debated over the two.

And this little ivy made her way to the other coffee table in the family room.

I forgot to water my houseplants before our last trip and the little plant in this pot did not make it while we were out of town.  I like this ivy all sprawled out a lot better than the other plant I had in here.  So sorry the watering and care after our trip didn’t revive the other one, I’ll just have to take better care of this one.

Speaking of trips, we’re getting ready to leave for Alaska in just a couple days.  The excitement is building and we are so looking forward to this time together.

The tip of the week is to water your plants before your trips, unless you want to replace them.
