They make lovely wide shallow hanging baskets. Also the drums from washing machines or dryers, so are a bit difficult to remove but you are left with a massive well draining pot when it is done.

They are ready to be moved, this isn’t something they can stay in for long due to the tiny size. I collect old pitchers and creamers from thrift stores, I love planting succulents in them! Love the baby shoes and want to us one of my old purses after seeing yours here. So cute!
Debbie 🙂

Always an attention getter. Same for old farm equipment. I love yard art, especially with plants. Your purse idea is one ill use inside.
