Nesting Terraria in a Cave á Liqueur


Josh Leo at Eight Oaks Terrariums shared a link to his truly one-of-a-kind cave á liqueur terrarium.  We've seen terrariums in wine bottles, vodka bottles, tequila bottles - but a cave á liqueur?  What is a cave á liqueur?

From buzzonantiques.blogspot.com:
"A cave à liqueur is a liqueur caddy that has diminutive crystal liqueur decanters (typically 4) along with a set of small glasses (typically 8)."
Aha!  A tempting transparent liquor locker - which has been repurposed into a fantastic terrarium and a convenient obscure history lesson in one!  Kudos to Josh for continuing to push the boundaries of the terrarium art form.

Wardian Case for Cheap

This 8"x 13" x 7" Wardian case type terrarium vessel can be yours for less than $40 through Target.  Just don't try to search for it using the words "wardian case."  Target is calling this baby a "Glass Cloche Terrarium."  I was under the impression that cloche meant bell.  Anyhoo - it is a steal and a great option for your terrarium-mad friend who might need a good container like this for putting plants in quarantine before putting them in terrariums.
