Flower Pot Parade

Posted: May 19th, 2009 | Author: Katie | Filed under: Simple Solutions |

After this post - I promise - I’m done with flowers for awhile.

*That is really not true at all because this next weekend I’m planting flowers in my pots using Kirsty’s recommendation*

Only can get better from here…

From her link on my newsletter, many of you enjoyed the secret from her, including my friend Lori and my mom, who both worked on their flowering pots this last weekend. I can’t wait to see if Kristy’s idea works! (And Lori, I can’t wait to see yours. You know I will be doing a drive by!)

Anyways, after sending out my May Newsletter, it was so nice to hear back from many of you and I’m just so happy that you enjoyed it and can benefit from some of the ideas that I share with you. Just like Kristen from We are That Family loves baskets to use for storage - my new favorite has become the ‘flower pot.’ And for those who wanted to see more of the flower pot storage that I have going on in my house, here goes the flower pot parade!

But it was truly like Where’s Waldo in my house - because as you will see right away - they all have one thing in common….

    Oh, I am so impatient to see how your impatiens turn out :D Love your mulch and your pots! I’ve never planted them in pots so I’ll be interested to see how it works, I’m sure it will be beautiful. Thanks so much for the shout-out! :)

    Loving the polka dot storage. How cute are the socks? Love your site.

    That’s a really cute idea. I use old clay flower pots to hold my colored pencils.

    NOOOO - I just planted my window box last week and didn’t use the trick! That’s my only shot and planting flowers this year.
