Lucky Bamboo

Neither Andy nor I would consider ourselves to have "green thumbs". In fact, we constantly joke that any plants that do make it into our house have their death papers "potted" and signed. That being said, while we do appreciate greenery around the house, we are not ones to purchase any greenery for ourselves. So, when I received this stalk of bamboo as a gift with this card attached, I was kind of excited...not only was the bamboo stunning to look at but it seems as though it is virtually fool proof to care for...

Andy and I hit the stores this weekend and bought the necessary supplies per the instructions including a watertight container (glass jar) and a support structure for the stalk (gorgeous glass marbles in the most stunning blue color). I assembled our little lucky bamboo in the container with the marbles and about 2 min and a little water later, voila...

Here is to hoping that this baby stays green and healthy and full-fills it's "lucky you" promises.

At the very least, we have a little greenery around the house!
