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!

White picket fences....of plastic

When I saw these two white picket fence planters outside my door I thought, 'aha! Someone who knows I like free (and plants) has been here!'  True to form, they were a friendly find from someone who also enjoys a good deal but didn't have a green thumb. I assume they are planters, or cachepots, what else would they be, right? 

So free and so clean clean.

These lil' white picket fence containers cleaned up just fine.  The color was right but I didn't have a good space for them, luckily a new friend moved to town and needed some plants. Perfect timing!  I was able to take some small pothos cuttings and snake plant (Sansevieria) cuttings to get my friend started on their indoor greenery landscape.

So happy together

That's it. A rather simple story, which played out a few months ago, but a nice way to pay it forward with plants.

Happy freestyling and gardening!
