We're excited to announce a new stockist where you can find an assortment of our jewelry and bike planters! Historic New Harmony, at the Atheneum in New Harmony Indiana is our newest stockist!
Allison at Historic New Harmony writes about the store, "It is housed in a building designed by internationally acclaimed architect Richard Meier, the Atheneum. Many of the galleries, as well as the observation deck overlooking the town and the Wabash River, can be used for receptions, small meetings, and cocktail events. The stunning building, which serves as the Visitors Center for New Harmony, houses exhibits on the communal history of New Harmony, a large theater where an orientation film on the town is shown, and the Museum Shop. Items in this shop are one of kind, handmade items meant to be adored by visitors.
New Harmony IN is a great little town on the Wabash River that served as two separate communal living experiments. First settled in 1816 by George Rapp, then purchased by in 1825. The town provided the first free library and public school system.
Currently residents of the town use golf carts to travel around and enjoy the quaint community which has connections to being utopia."

Put a Plant on it! Where to Find Plants in Atlanta
What We're Making, How to PlantComment
Small succulents from Pike Nursery in Atlanta.
With the holidays right around the corner, we thought this would be a good time to share with you some of our favorite places to pick up plants, and where we find the small ones that you see us use in our planters. Since we're based in Atlanta*, we're most familiar with the places to find plants locally, and we'd like to share our recommendations with you!
Southeast Succulents
at The Collective, 723 Lake Avenue Northeast, Atlanta, GA, 30307
at Whole Foods on Ponce, 650 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30308
One of our favorite places to pick up the succulents that you see us use for our photos is Southeast Succulents! They sell their succulents at a few places around Atlanta, mainly the Collective in Inman Park and at Whole Foods Markets. In addition to plants, they also sell potting soils for succulents, and other decorative terrarium supplies.
Visiting Gardenhood in the fall.
Gardenhood
353 Boulevard SE, Atlanta, GA 30312
Gardenhood is a nursery that sells a variety of plants in the Grant Park neighborhood of Atlanta. We like to buy succulents there, and they sell a selection of indoor and outdoor varieties. In addition to succulents, you can also find potting soils, garden decorations, and plants for landscaping at this nursery.
Hall's Atlanta Wholesale Florist
630 Angier Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30308
Hall's is mainly a wholesale florist, but they also sell plants such as succulents (our favorite plants to use for our planters) and house plants. In addition to plants, they also sell other floral items that you might need for floral arrangements or decorating events. If you're shopping for flowers for a wedding or event, stop by here to pick up your flowers and the other vases and accessories you might need!
Pike Nurseries
Several locations in the Atlanta Area
Pike Nurseries is an Atlanta based chain of nurseries. While most people know them for their large selection of landscaping plants, they also carry a large variety of succulents and tillandsia (air plants).
If you have any nursery recomendations here or in other cities, please let us know and we'd love to share them!
*As a note, this list is not comprehensive of all of the places to find plants in and around Atlanta, but these are the businesses that we know and recommend. If you have another business to recommend for this list, please let us know! Also, large chain stores are not included in this list, only small and Atlanta based businesses. Larger stores will be included in a later post.
