What a charming vibe. Thank you for existing.

Loved the idea of a found centerpiece. I already had the perfect piece of twisted gnarly root driftwood sitting around and added it to my beloved terrarium. It’s perfect! Adds that bit of textural element my little garden was lacking. 😊

[@ja-uh9gz]

Your home, gardens and use of beautiful old items (even the common utensils that you use in your videos, which are unique and interesting) is very inspirational. I also love the music, which I see is created by you...very fitting and beautiful as a background for the serenity and gorgeous natural surroundings of your area. The lantern shade is perfect for a terrarium, which turned out great. On a walk in the woods a few days ago, with all the rain lately, I picked up pieces of felled wood pieces with pretty lichen and fungi growing on the bark. This video is giving me ideas..lol. 😄

[@suburbanhomestead]

I hope you turn it in to something cool! Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you were able to enjoy the mood I tried to evoke.

[@v3nnicat]

I'm so excited to watch this grow. Terrariums are so unique to their creators and they're one of the few things that can survive in my current apartment (and are cat-proof).

[@suburbanhomestead]

yes, and open terrariums don't get all foggy, so it is better to see.

[@awesometimes1435]

The piece you just created could easily cost more than $30 at any stores. Meanwhile you spent no penny and got to enjoy whole lot more 👏👏👏

[@suburbanhomestead]

That is true. I love to recycle and save money.

[@nancyplants757]

Wow I love your old house. I'm house shopping now and it's sad how some old houses have either been neglected to the point that they need a fortune to restore or they've had all of the original charm gutted out of them.

[@soniakirk7909]

Beautiful, I love how you repurposed the light fixture and the walk to get the driftwood was gorgeous!

[@SomeRoomtoGrow]

That was beautiful! A very peaceful, meditative experience as you searched for a natural centerpiece.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Glad you enjoyed it, Greg.

Always you make the world nicer. Thankyou

Another great video. I love terrariums. They are so fun to make and to keep. You can make him a small or as large as you want to. And they don't have to be expensive either, you can go into a local field or your own backyard for the planning material. And you can also go on Craigslist and by old aquariums really cheap if you want a bigger one. I love when you do DIY videos on your channel. Keep them coming.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thanks! They certainly can be made for free or cheap with a bit of creativity

[@queerissimo]

I love this!!! And your new chandelier looks something out of steam punk

[@suburbanhomestead]

That is true, it has a cool look, although I have finished it since.

i love it :D thanks for giving us some instant gratification & not making us wait ;) Are your videos still about a year ahead of what we see? I hope we get to see some autumn colour changes in your videos :) I also love when you take us in your home & we get to see little glimpses of that gorgeous home. How old is it? I cannot remember if you have told us before or not. Have an lovely week Siloe : )

[@suburbanhomestead]

Yes, the videos as filmed in advance, there will be some more fall videos this year. The house is a little over 100 years old
