Baby Blooms

Hunting & Gathering

Next time you are on your weekly grocery haul at Trader Joes, make a pit stop at the square flower stand at the front of the store, bend down and find tiny succulent blooms waiting to be potted in itty-bitty containers. From cotton white micro flowers to mini rose-like heads peeking up toward the sun, grab several and place on windowsills far and wide in your home or office. These small plants nicely fit into old candles, especially ones with lovely packaging that you hate throwing away even after they've burnt out. 

Try the Hi Wildflower Botanica Sweet Tobacco candle (available at Perq Coffee Bar) or any of the selections from PF Candle Co. (available at Able + Willing Supply Co.) like the one pictured here. 

Trader Joes, 4101 South Tamiami Trl., Sarasota, 941-922-5727.
