I'm having fun with some old earthenware pots that I found. They must have been hand made, they are tiny and uneven in shape and size, so much more charming than today's industrially produced flower pots.
At the approach to spring it's nice to bring a little bit of outdoors inside. I've been playing around with some early crocus, snowdrops and pansies. What I don't have to hand in the garden can be bought at little expense and shared between the pots.
If I want to take the exercise further then I put together little vignettes using props to hand, like these gorgeous old books I found at the same place as the pots.
Little things, that take a few minutes but make the house feel dressed for the weekend!
Wishing you a sunny weekend, full of flowers and fun!

I love the color and texture of these pots...I think that is their appeal. They have had a lot of good use. Very pretty with the pansies!

ReplyDeleteHello Sharon
ReplyDeleteIt takes little to enhance a home and in particular when the homeowner has an artistic eye and a heart for beauty, such as you possess Sharon

Just looking at your photos brightened my day! SO READY for spring and COLOR and LIGHT!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the dose of spring!! Beautiful pics!
ReplyDelete*LOVE* those! Little things that says so much.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty photos. I like how the antique pots are more gray-white than orange. I'm a little jealous as it looks like spring has already begun in France.
ReplyDeletePansies and crocuses mean the start of spring, but not here, not yet. However, my potted hyacinth is blooming in my home if you'd care to visit.
ReplyDeleteExquisite! Just proves that beauty can be found among the simplest of things.
ReplyDeletethe little hand made pots are wonderful!!
ReplyDeletehappy weekend!
