Mossing It Up

I've been adding moss to stuff lately. Well, not just lately, but more than usual lately. Make sense? :)

Our last name starts with a "G." (I found this one at Hobby Lobby.) Add a little floral moss from W*lMart...

It hangs over my kitchen sink now...but please excuse my photo! I couldn't get a clear shot unless I closed the blinds, and then of course the lighting looks sad and ugly, but you get the idea.
I also had this little urn that I picked up at Goodwill for $3.

One of those little Styrofoam balls was the perfect size for the top.

Isn't everything (in decorating, anyway!) better with moss?

    This is cute moss. Unlike the moss growing on top of my garage which totally creeps me out. haha Two very cute projects! I have a bag of moss that I've had for almost a year and haven't done a thing with.

    Cute projects. I already have one of those hobby lobby letters - maybe I'll moss mine up too.
    Thanks for the ideas.

    Love them! I've been wanting to do that with some urns I have--I think I'll do it for after Valentine's Day. I'd love to get some of my milk glass out of storage and out on display. :)

    I love the G! I always see those letters and want to do something for our name but the "O"'s always end up looking like a plain old wreath!

    The "G" turned out really cute. I feel like moss is a perfect way to green up, especially for spring. I have the "L" that I got from Hobby Lobby that I spray painted silver and added to the shelves in our dining area.
