Centerpieces

Kicking the wedding plans into high gear and since the weather has been unpredictable, i.e. freezing, we have been unable to take care of our biggest chore...the backyard. So we made our centerpieces...various glass vases that we turned into mini vivariums.  They have various plants, flowers and herbs, that still need to grow in but so far are doing great!


We only have seven pieces so far but more on the way.
