I spent the weekend popping in and out of stores looking for various items and always keeping my eye open for something to serve as a new planter. No luck over the weekend. I did however find some scores earlier this week.
The first successful buy was from Target. I found a $2.50 small galvanized oval bucket that could go any any room of the house. I basically found that to make it priceless. It also could be for drinks if the potting doesnt' work out. Now that I have it home and started plotting I realize its not really an "upgrade" for any of the plants to move into. Its a little on the small side being only a foot long and maybe 6 inc deep. I would hopefully be repotting quickly if the plant didn't die from the move. So for now this is a no go. But I have noticed that seeds are avilable at various stores. I think this would make a great planter for some Kitchen herbs. I'll keep that in mind when I do the plant re-arranging.
Second I found these
They are from Pier1. The size I want is currently in the $6 range.The "sugar" "flour" and "coffee" are all the same size and I dont' remember seeing the cookies. I think they would be great for indivdual plants but at the $6 mark individually I feel like I need to love them. I also would not be putting them in my kitchen... which might be a problem since they say "Country Kitchen". So could I put them somewhere else? Do they have to be in the kitchen? I figured they could be "recaimed and vintage". No? Yes?
I did however find two red woven square baskets that will be getting new plants I believe. They were on clearance for the pair at $5. I felt that even if they dont' become planters they are cute red baskets that will go in just about any room in my house! Right on! I'll post pictures if I can make it happen.
