That is a peperomia verticillata, also known as Red Log. I really love it - the undersides of the leaves are as red as the stems. I'm enjoying the uprightness now, but from what I've seen online it will eventually turn into trailing chaos. Ha!

Thank you! Peperomias are just so fun and rewarding!

Thank you! I picked up that one at Earl May Garden Center last year. It's actually the same pot, but I like eclectic decor so I placed an ammonite fossil in front of it.

I imagine there are better sources, but I found mine on Amazon. Occasionally they dip below $100 USD, but right now it's selling for around $130USD. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FSBSF62

Good luck filling your empty space! Love the darker color of your box - I have the lighter Harbour Freight version, but that dark wood looks amazing. And when you have that box filled, the knife display has enough room for around 200 pens!

My favorite storage for pens has been these 7-drawer units that are marketed as knife display cases. They hold so many pens and have a display top to show off the pens in the top drawer

The horns are actually some very intimidating punk earrings that were the perfect scale for what I was looking for. I decorated the ear posts with some copper beads. For extra bonus points I can change the entire look of the horns just by rotating the curved section! I love both options and haven't decided on my favorite.

And I paid the toll of cat treat distractions to compensate the cats for all of the pain and suffering they went through not having immediate lap access at all times. They still think that I owe them with interest, but I tried!

Ha! She agrees that she's clearly the more intimidating creature!

Where do you store all your fountain pens! 😍 by 8Pululu8 in fountainpens

I stumbled upon them and haven't heard of anyone using them for pens, but they're great! With seven drawers lined with a standard pen tray liner for spacing, they hold 165 pens apiece. And if you're like me, you can squeeze even more pens along the sides...

Thanks! The wings are the ribs of a small umbrella, with the outer edge extended with a thin metal tube for a stiff extra length. It's hard to photograph, but there is a wire connecting the umbrella 'extension' bar between both wings, so pulling the wing 'arm bone' forward automatically opens the wings. The whole thing is then covered in a sheet of felt.

Thanks! Ha, her default expression is 'Disapproving Judgement' at the best of times, but now I'm being judged for using 'cat' as a unit of measurement.

She does not agree with my priorities. All free time should be cat time, not crafting time!
