Succsies on the Brain (Succulent Inspiration)

I had a couple of fairly clever post titles that played on the word "succulent".  Fortunately, I allowed the hubs to convince me they were semi-inappropriate or potentially offensive. :) So I'm creating a new word. Succsies. "Succulents", without that annoying third syllable.  Who needed that last syllable, anyway?

I literally dreamed of succsies a couple of nights ago.  Bright green succsies, purple succsies, droopy succsies and plump succsies. All just a-floatin' around in my dream-noggin'. Probably because I bought two succsies in the last few weeks and am probably going to make a.... okay, I can't keep this goin all day... succulent garden for the dining room table.  I did a little pinning and also found some google-inspiration last night. Here a few inspiring succulent arrangements.

This vertical wall art takes my breath away.

Can you believe these huge succulent orbs? Stunning.

This lush arrangement of succulents trim a staircase throughout the warm summer months.  During the summer, they move the plants (which are tucked into soil-filled chicken-wire frames) to a heated green house.

I saw this centerpiece first a couple of years ago, and now I always keep my eyes peeled for some lovely goblets like these. 

I've searched for the original source. The earliest source I can find is here.

These succulents are planted in a recycled flour sifter.  So charming.

And last but not least.  I must have these.  I must have these.  But they're $300. If you have the cash and no self control, go do the damage here.

Are you a fan of succulents?  Have you found a favorite spot or two in your home, or a unique way to style them? Or are you new to the idea, but thinking of giving them a try?

If you don't like them, you succsies. (There, I fit it in somehow, ha!).
