Given that it's been two years to the date since I last wrangled up a few (12 to be exact) terrific terrariums, I thought I'd revisit the topic with a look at a dozen more fabulous, flora-filled glass vessels along with an array of terrarium-related loot (terrarium lunch bag anyone?).
 
Sure, terrarium fever has cooled off just slightly since my first post, but there's still plenty of 'em out there for the taking — both complete kits and glass containers of all shapes and sizes — with the Fern & Mossery acting as a great resource for all your lilliputian landscaping needs. And as mentioned in my first post, although terrariums are fun to buy, you can also save a few bucks and try starting from scratch by repurposing a variety of household objects — vintage apothecary jars, light bulbs, wine bottles, salt and pepper shakers, fish bowls, cookie jars, and the list goes on and on — into terrarium vessels. Have any terrarium-related tips and tidbits you'd like to share? Please, by all means do in the comments section.
