**Don't forget to enter my DIY Mason Jars book giveaway here!** I stopped at a local garage sale this morning on my way home from the post office. Much of it was overpriced ($15 for a wreath, c'mon!), but I did score this cute little bicycle planter. It was marked $5 but I got it for $4 (it's never to early in the morning to haggle!).

New clothes pins. Skeleton key lavender sachets. Wood tags. ...
I've been wanting to do a copycat of this Pinterest pin since last summer. All you need are some flower pots, chalk paint and a few pretty French graphics. Put them all together and voila... ...Frenchy flower pots! I gave each pot a coat of Old White ASCP. I also painted a little around the inside rims but not the entire way down.
