<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We're finally back in action! It's been a busy fortnight of ordering supplies for the store and food for the dinosaurs in the terradctl zoo. Some friends of ours were dino-sitting while we were overseas (thanks, Brent and Juno!) and did a great job of spoiling the little guys. Now our little family of brontosaourus' and triceratops' have acquired a taste for the finer things in life ~ Gippsland triple-cream brie and Clonakilla Hilltops Shiraz ~ Outrageous! As you might expect, the dinos are well fattened and ready to head out into the real world for an adventure. Check the tubby little fellows out now at the newly re-opened <a href="http://www.terradctl.etsy.com/">www.terradctl.etsy.com</a>. </span>Eliza Murrayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05223758377125532405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231026991336131953.post-28324794066117209632011-03-02T22:05:00.001+11:002011-03-02T22:06:11.608+11:00Reopening soon!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://media.lifehacker.com.au/wp//2011/02/AmbiusIndoorPlants.jpg" /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

Some of you may have noticed that we have been off the radar for a little longer than expected. The stores have been closed for a few months now while we've been travelling and kicking off some new projects, but we'll be <b>re-opening really soon.</b> We can't wait to get back to the Terradctl life of growing, designing, building and shipping our little terrariums! </span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We'll also be adding some new blog posts over the coming weeks about our new projects, products, adventures, and some of the rad inventions that have taken our fancy over the last few months. To everyone who has emailed us over the past couple of months, sorry if we haven't been able to respond to your queries. We'll be doing our best to catch up with replies now.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">In the meantime, here's a shout-out to the folks at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/plantlifebalance">Plant/Life Balance</a> who gave away 20,000 indoor plants and brightened the day of many an office worker this morning. Nice one!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">See you soon!</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">the über mod terrariums of <a href="http://litill.com/">lìtill</a> look like the kinds of places where little martians might feel at home. tillandsias, succulents, pine cones, polymer clay landscaping and dried australian billy buttons (also called craspedia) are planted in snowy white substrate. the vessels themselves are organic looking hand blown blobs made specially for lìtill. the combination of living, dead and manmade elements would be almost distopian if it weren’t so clean and sharp looking. these terrariums might be a bit high maintenance for some (the different plants and fixtures all need a different care routine) and a bit exy for others (prices start at US$150) but in the right place they would look absolutely amazing.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
