I love succulents—as long as you pick a hearty plant that's right for your climate, you don't need a bright green thumb to keep 'em alive! If you're a fan of succulents too, check out these mini shell succulent planters from Megan at In Words and Pictures. I'd definitely like to scatter a bunch of these across my kitchen counter, wouldn't you?
A word to the wise: Shells make gorgeous planters, but you don't want to put just any plant in one. Most succulents don't need to be watered very often, so you can usually get away with keeping them in an enclosed container.
