Using Old Ladders in the Garden

Old primitives tell a stories, and make such statements. I would love to know each of their stories.

Creating new stories for old primitives is such a wonderful experience, and make great additions to your home and garden!

We have snow again, but I have been thinking of how and where I want to create a new flower area this spring. I just need it to get here! hahaha I know everyone else is in the same boat! So today I am sharing some old ladders for the garden area to help get your creative juices flowing.

 

 

 

Isn’t this sweet – lots of color, an old iron wagon wheel and birdhouses!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is also sweet – lots of color, another old iron wagon wheel and look at those unique planters – an old boot!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have some old primitive ladders at the store, and they are available for pick up by appointment!!

WE would love to see how you have used old primitive ladders in your garden!

Have a great day!

Let’s Talk Planters

When you plant flowers or house plants, are you a traditional planter person?? Or do you love to use unique items for your plants?

If you have been in the store or seen pics on our blog, you’ll know that I an a unique planter kind of girl!

A colorful thermos, a beautiful pottery pitcher, an old tin, or even in a mid-century canister with a broken lid, you find me planting!

Not only are you re-using an item, but you’re going to have the most unique plants in the neighborhood!

 

 

I love this idea – I am going to create one this spring!

What do you think of this as a planter?? Would you create one???

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE hand made pottery. You’ll find a lot of different pieces, and styles inside the store!

When we purchase hand made pottery, we’re also supporting an artist that creates beautiful things with their hands! I love to support hand made!

 

 

 

 

This tin sits on my patio – I LOVE the colors and the cactus looks great awesome and it adds color to the garden!

 

 

 

 

 

Would love to hear your comments and see pics of your unusual planters. We have lots of pottery, old tins and more to add creativity and color to your plants – both indoor and outdoor.

We are available by appointment at the store!

Have a great day and we can’t wait to see your plants!!

Creative Indoor Herb Gardens

Herb gardens are so pretty, a great way to add to color and fragrance to your home. How convenient is it just snip a few herbs while cooking dinner!

Below are some creative containers to plant your herbs and plants in.

I love this idea of using veggie cans. Cheap, yet look so cute on the table or in the window! If you don’t like the tin color, these would be easy to spray paint and add more color!

And who doesn’t love mason jars? I can’t decide which is my favorite!

 

For those of you that like your containers to be a little more girly. This is for you! So sweet and delicate!

We would love to see your container herb garden!

Have an awesome day!
