I love the look of the painted pots. They look great! I am kinda jealous that you get to keep on planting. Although I love Fall here in Michigan I am not looking forward to winter and the snow.
I am originally from New York, so I know fall.. I do miss the colors and snow! but I am truly lucky to live in coastal South Carolina, it does get cold here too! Thanks for stopping by again, so happy to have met you.

I love how you painted your pots to match your shutters, what a clever idea!
Hmm, I was just wondering what I should do with some leftover paint I have. This is a great idea! I have a really ugly pot on my deck that could use some love.
OH Cool, hope you make the book decor, I used paperback that were sitting in a box or lost at a dumpster! The hard cover i use fabric and the paper back i tear off, don’t feel bad, they still can be read and they look beautiful. Thanks Maria
love those pots; especially the strawberry jar. I think a lot of us get stuck thinking strawberry jars ‘need’ to be terra cotta color. I am one of those who can’t think of neat changes but when I see what someone else has done I really get excited. Thank you for my latest love!!
Hi Carol, its great meeting you! So happy you found my blog! Glad you enjoyed those painted pots! Those violas I planted in them are still blooming. Maria
