Seashell Shocker

I was at HomeGoods recently when this little white ceramic beauty jumped right into my cart when I wasn’t looking.  For a mere $3, I thought I would make its every dream come true and take it home with me (it twisted my arm, really).

I wasn’t quite sure what I would do with it, so it hung out in the guest bedroom until a little inspiration struck…

…subtle hints of green and pink that would be a perfect accent for the guest bedroom re-do, and would happen to fit right inside the cute shell.  So, for another $3, I picked up this Fittonia “Juanita” plant from Lowe’s.  I know, I don’t have such a great track record with house plants, but I’m going to give it a try.  After all, the description says that it is “easy to grow.”  With some potting soil left over from the summer, I replanted this little gem right inside the shell.  Voila:

Any bets on how long it will live?  I’ll keep you posted.
