Springtime Crafts

I'd like to take the credit for this cute plant holder, but I can't. I saw it on someone else's blog.....I am not sure whose. 
Of course, I had long ago thrown out my banana hanger. So I was on the lookout for another. When you shop the thrift stores like I do it's not hard to fine one for a $1 or 2.
This started out as a light colored wood banana hanger, I painted it white and distressed it a bit. Does it need more? Right now it lives in my house and the African Violet is for display only. All 3 of mine are blooming (thanks Carolee). When it warms up it will go outside with some small flowering plant. 



I also made another flip flop wreath and I WILL NEVER MAKE ANOTHER ONE....unless I can figure out an easy way to adhere the flip flops to the wreath form. I think they are so darn cute and summery! 
Naturally the wreath and flip flops are from the thrift store.

I'm not really proud of this one, but it certainly adds some color to the fence...which hubby needs to power wash yet. He does in in between golf outings.

  5. I just went through your blog. Very nice! I love Lake Michigan and have been there often. Of course I don't live that far away so I can go there pretty much as often as I want to. When I'm not working that is. Work it kind of puts a damper on things some times. LOL. Thank you for visiting my blog.

  6. If you find another banana hanger that you don't want, remember me! Your violet is doing wonderfully! Glad to hear that you aren't putting it outside. The wreath is so darn cute but I don't have a place to hang one.
