New Succulent Plants

This weekend, in an effort to spruce up my kitchen window sills, I picked up a few new succulent plants to put in little containers we had on-hand.



I adore the new monogram mugs from anthropologie. {Last year for mother's day gifts, I did this same thing with their previous version.}

Owl pot with new hair:



I found this pretty little jadite planter in Hardy, Arkansas (yay for Cherokee Village, Laura!) last fall and am just now getting around to giving it a living tenant. Love "string of pearls" and hope these make it in this spot.



A better (albeit phone) pic of the plant itself:



Those little plants are just so cheery! And probably cost $8 for all three.

In other news, my current (and maybe only "real") craving has been for ginger and/or molasses items, preferably cookies.

So I made Joy the Baker's Chewy Ginger Chocolate Cookies.



Delish. They didn't exactly scratch my molasses cookie itch (I'm craving one like they have at Starbucks sometimes, but haven't found one yet?), but these are darn good. Even if it's not Christmas and it may seem out of season to make ginger-y cookies...yum! I highly recommend. {If anyone has a recipe for a molasses cookie like the Starbucks ones, I'd appreciate it if you'd send it my way. Thanks!}
