From trashpile top to countertop cachepot

Is there any better way to end an afternoon-into-evening-craft-session-with-snacks than with a trip to the loading dock? Probably not.  The hostess found some small photo frames and a free trash can (because who wants to spend money on a trash can?). I found an interesting glass vase, made in 2009 according to the etched year on the bottom.

The next day I turned the glass object into, what else, a planter.
All I needed was an empty yogurt container with drainage holes cut into it, some potting soil and pothos cuttings.



After a few minutes of arranging, some dirt-pouring, and a little more arranging, I had a new cachepot for a pothos.

Pink glass on top of blue glass, now with a plant!













Nothing like some pothos leaves against subway tile.  The glass object doesn't look right with the countertop, it will find a home somewhere else.


















Happy freestyling, and when in doubt, maybe you can turn it into a planter!
