Bird houses and more....

A trip to Greifensee or lake Greifen  near Zurich we passed by a quaint little shop.. A little cottage like shop selling flowers and succulents .. I think I had mentioned earlier that succulents and cactus are one of popular indoor plants in cold  countries.. They are considered as exotic plants..

The entrance to the shop with a old wooden door and pretty hand made wreath on it.. It had rained that day..The cottage was decorated by pots and plants and ....

Vogel villa...  bird house.. not one but many different types ..some on sticks..some were hanging..beautifully hand painted in different shapes and sizes..



Some were two stories and some single house:)..some with square windows and fences.. some with round windows ..But of course exorbitantly priced( a little too unrealistic price I would say ..starting from 150CHF for the smallest birdhouse)

I felt very proud of the bird house I had painted earlier ... It cost me not more than 25CHF..hehheehhee

Have a lovely Monday!! For more lovely cactus and succulents visit Teri's lovely blog!!

Cactus Monday

Its so cold outside here ..I am wondering if the fall has arrived early ..Hope not!!

I saw this beautiful table decor at a restaurant in Vienna ..totally fell in love with it..I have noticed that cactus seem to be a popular indoor decor plant in restaurant/ hotels Germany and Austria....

There was another restaurant where they have arranged all types of cactus in different jars in the lounge.. I must say when the weather outside is so cold , the cactus indoors gives a impression and good feeling of the warm and sunny weather which will come soon... 

At least thats what I feel when I look at cactus in cold countries..

Happy Cactus Monday..jump over to Teri's so see more beautiful cactus..
