I'm a firm believer that if life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. Case in point, my broken dress form peat pot. I bought some rub-on transfers from Joann's a couple of weeks ago. Now, I'm no expert on rub-ons. I've only used them a handful of times. After rubbing for what seemed like forever, this transfer just didn't seem to be happening. So I kept at it. I must have moved it while rubbing...
We're hosting the grandparents this year for Easter. I'm already playing around with the table settings to get an idea of what will look the prettiest. I bought a pretty Chevron table runner from Etsy that will match the plates perfectly. Here's what I have so far: I will have to mix and match plates because the ones you see I got from the Pottery Barn outlet a few years ago - but are only for four. ...
I'm looking forward to a fruitful garden this year. My dad has offered to help me pick the perfect spots in our yard. You see, we do well with tomatoes and cucumbers, and some random herbs, but my eggplant and green peppers never seem to take off. Anywho, I decided to start early this year with some of our seeds. Of course, I had to dress up my peat pots just a little. These mini peat...
Saw this on Pinterest and thought it was the sweetest idea ever! Bunny peat pots for Easter. First I painted my peat pots white. One coat usually does the trick because you want a shabby look. While they were drying I printed off my bunnies onto tissue paper. One is from Etsy and the other is from The Graphics Fairy. Next you kind of rip the tissue paper to get as close to the image...
Anyone else ready for spring? I'm counting down the days after a horribly cold week here. Peat pots always make me think of warmer days, so I embellished a couple over the weekend while we were staying warm indoors. First I gave them a coat of white acrylic paint. Then I ran some tissue paper through a printer to get these great French graphics. I used Mod Podge to adhere them to each pot. I...

Embellished Peat Pots
I still have a bunch of peat pots left over from the summer. Since I'm still avoiding the chaos of the stores and malls (and still working with what I already have in the house), I decided to make a couple of new embellished ones. I gave each a coat of white acrylic paint. I tried my hand at doing a mixed media one with the little girl. The image is from The Graphics Fairy...
I popped into our local Goodwill this morning. The last few times I was there, I left empty-handed. Not today. Lookie at my latest finds: I've been searching for these very pyrex dishes at every garage sale I've been to this year. The set of three was $5.99 - a steal! I also picked up the little pumpkin candleholder, peat pots and pretty blue glass dishes. Aren't they a gorgeous shade of blue? Lastly, I...
I'm really enamored with painted peat pots. They are so easy to dress up. And really fit anywhere in the house. I like to give them a French touch or two. Yup, it must be love! Linking to Faded Charm: White Wednesday. Jeanine ...
I made a few more painted peat pots this week and I think I'm becoming a little obsessed. For this batch, I added some number tags along with the buttons I used on my previous bird one: The first one is filled with rolled vintage sheet music and ones I downloaded from The Graphics Fairy. The other two I'm still deciding on what to fill them with. For now they are filled with shredded sheet...
