Another planter? Yes. I can’t be stopped apparently!
Lately I’ve been finding lots of interesting “planters” at thrift stores, like this mid century DIY, this macrame hanging planter and this terrarium. It’s fun to see what interesting objects can be turned into a beautiful container.
This fiberglass planter is intended to be a plant holder {unlike some of the things I turn into planters}. I liked it because it was big and simple–and often large planters are expensive. I kept it plain for a while, but last week I decided to make it prettier with a little gold paint.
It’s Monday, how about some hellos?
Hello plain planter for $10. Not bad!
Hello using painter’s tape and about four coats of acrylic gold paint. {The paint was $2 at Michael’s}.
Hello ready for the big reveal!
Hello a little streaky but I didn’t mind. The tape kept the lines fairly clean. I’m pleased.
Hello pups. Oh, you’re taking pictures? We are here to help!
Hello pretty planter making our family room a little happier.
Hello split leaf philodendron. One of my very favorite plants! I only water it about once a week.
Hello future planning. Do you think about 3-5 year goals?
Hello washing all the sheets and towels. I love fresh!
Hello dreaming of fall. Did you hear it’s October now? I’m waiting for cooler weather to follow. I’m ready for cardigans and boots.
Hello adding cinnamon to my coffee.
Hello finding time to visit the pumpkin patch.
Hello reading this book. Stop what you’re doing and order it {or download it}. It’s so good.
Hello to YOU. It’s a brand new month, a brand new week, a brand new day. What are you saying hello to this week?
Lisa,
Good afternoon! First off, I love your jewelry so much. It’s beautiful. I have four sons and always browse your site for things on my wish list! You have done a beautiful thing. And even more, your story has intrigued me, which is why I am writing you today.
I’m curious if you would be interested in partnering with me for an article on a motherhood and apparel blog I write for called Baby Chick (www.baby-chick.com). I want to write an article to encourage mothers of children with a disability or mothers who are pregnant and know their child will face something at birth. I would love to possibly include a giveaway of one of your pieces of jewelry too.
I want the post to inspire mothers to see that something beautiful can come out of something scary or challenging. Our numbers for social media are great, and I can give you all those stats if you are interested. You can check out our Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/teambabychick/?fref=ts
But before we go into more details, I just wanted to see if you might be interested! And if you want to know more about me personally, you can take a peek at my (small and personal 😉 blog–Sanctification and Spitup– where I try and encourage moms as a ministry. Feel free to check that out on Facebook too. https://www.facebook.com/SanctificationAndSpitup/
Thanks so much!
