some light

jade

our ledge

sheer

one little corner

The succulent in the first photo, some people call it a Jade plant, others call it a Money plant. I like both names.

My friend got it for me as a housewarming present when Jin and I first moved into our previous apartment together! It has survived through the years, and made it over to this house. I am so glad it has, because I think it is one of the prettiest plants I have.

I am so happy this house lets in more light than our previous apartment. And that it has some window ledges deep enough to hold small potted plants. Jin put some sheer curtains up so that the light will always come in the house. I think our plants will be very happy.

Lately, I am totally oogling over every post from this blog. My Scandinavian Retreat. (via KITKA.)

    Oh, how I wish we had more natural light in our house (as well as deeper windowsills to set plants on). You are very lucky!

    It looks great! I love my jade plant too! Mine was cut from my old college roommate's plant and has lasted years and years.
    Thanks for posting about that amazing blog!

    I wish our apartment had more light. two of my little plants have bit the dust... I blame it on the light but maybe it's my anti-green thumb! either way, I mourn the loss of little echeveria and need to get a new one.

    i like both names as well.. sure they have contributed in some way for the plant to last as long... hope you get to keep it many more years!!! :)
