Thrifted Planters For Spring

Sometimes you have to think outside the pot. This spring I wanted to add some fresh greenery to the scene. I looked high and low for some faux plants I could live with, but they just weren’t for me. Luckily I had some garage sale finds stacked up and waiting to save the day. Thrifted planters make inexpensive and fresh spring décor.

They don’t die, they last year to year and they can look really good.

But none called to me.

The nursery always does.

Then and there I decided I was willing to kill for fresh greenery. Thrifted planters make inexpensive and fresh spring décor. Try live Begonias or Violets this spring, along with fresh eggs, nests and Easter bunnies for simple and elegant spring decorating ideas.I scooped up some of the perfect pink touches I was looking for in $2 worth of Begonias and headed home. Here is my tip of the day…buy annuals. Those lovely pops of color that you know aren’t going to last. BUT…buy the larger ones, at least the 4 inches pots or better. When you buy the little guys you have to wait too long for them to do anything. More mature plants have a better chance of making it than the smaller, younger ones. It’s worth the few extra dollars, this goes for one or two in a pot to flats of flowers in your yard. Trust me on this. Miracle Grow really helps too.

    Love your decore, especially the piece over the J, I love rust and chippy paint! What is that piece, it isn’t obvious. Thanks for sharing your joy.

      Thank you! It is actually an old fire place surround, pretty heavy iron. I got it at Round Top Antiques Week a while back and love it too!
