Thrifty Decor Chick is hosting a "Goodwill Party" over at her blog. This is right up my alley, as I have been shopping there since my mom took me when I was a little girl and now I really find it hard to ever pay full price for ANYTHING. I love all the great ideas everyone has. They really help me have a better "vision" when I go thrifting.
Here is mine. I am sure this has been done a million times before, but I thought it was pretty cute so here is mine. I found one of those wire hanging fruit baskets, this one with two tiers. I think it cost $1.49. I have been looking for one for in my kitchen, but I want a 3-tiered one. I couldn't pass the 2-tiered one up though, so I found another use for it. I made it into a hanging planter. I spray painted it black, lined it with moss from the dollar store and then I added potting soil and the flowers. Here is the end result:
Once the flowers get bigger they will fall over the sides and look just gorgeous! I can't wait! =)

It's so cute! Good job!
Love that! I made a couple of planters the same way yesterday! I had some wire baskets left over from previous years...rather than getting new liners, I just got a big ol' bag of moss for like $3...love that stuff! It looks really cute in your baskets! I also recently got done spray painting a plant stand that I got for free from a neighbor years ago. Just like you, I can't pass up a bargain! Amazing what a little spray paint will do! ;) For another "cheap" gardening idea, stop by my blog later tonight (or tomorrow since you're a couple times zones ahead of me). I'll be talking about "Kuntry Girl" tomato planters!
Very cool! Just another thing to keep my eye out for!
CLEVER IDEA! Never saw that done before...and how smart! I love your red, white & blue...but of course, you knew that, didn't you!?
