Why, something like this!
This weekend found me at my annual exodus to the Paris Street Market. My gal pal and I descended on the tented wares at the much coffee-inducing hour of 7am in order to score the best goodies ahead of the horde. She was on the hunt for some rusty garden sculptures and I had my eyes peeled for an antiqued mirrored tray to complete the bath vanity area.
Although such a tray eluded my grasp, I stumbled upon these anachronistic beauties at two different vendor booths..
I've had this idea in mind for a while - to use coal scuttles as quirky planters to flank the front door. It seemed that I was to be back in the garden this weekend. Oh darn.
With a quick trip to grab some potting soil and bloomin' blossoms, I was ready to go a-plantin'. I just filled the scuttles with soil, transferred violets, petunias, pansies, and bacopa between them and, wallah!
Even our pooch, Ginger, joined the fun..
And since it has been a weekend of planting blooms, here are some of the garden's other debutantes..

| Always love the combination of purple and orange in the blue window box |

| Blue Jazz Petunias |

| A newcomer this year, Black-eyed Susan Vine |
So, if you have a just little bit of time, coal scuttles (or any other fun planter), then go put a bloom in a bucket!
Have Fun!
