Welcome to Trash to Treasure on Tuesday. If you have something that is a treasure to you that someone else didn't want, add your name and the link to your post to Mr. Linky at the bottom. I look forward to visiting you!
Do any of you remember this Southern Living at Home basket that I bought for $4.00? I used it for most of the fall for an arrangement on my kitchen counter. You can look at that here if you want to. The basket is no longer available, but retailed for about $40.00.
I didn't go to yard sales this week since it was so cold, so for this post I 'shopped' my garage sale stash from past weeks and found this birdhouse and 2 little clay pots..........
And using my plants from the screened porch and two clay pots I already had, I put my Southern Living treasure to another use as a plant holder next to the garden tub. Now I feel like I'm really in a garden while taking a bath. This room is pretty cool, and has a large window, so the plants will get plenty of light in there.
Total spent was $5.00 and it dresses up the area around the tub. Now if I can just keep these plants alive through the winter! LOL Any hints on growing houseplants inside would be appreciated! Thanks for stopping by and looking at this week's Trash to Treasure!
You really did well. I love the look with the plants inside. The little birdhouse is perfect! You have me smileing at the thought of shopping in your own stash LOL! I'm going to have to give some more thought (and search my house) for some other Trash to Treasure items to share.

Oh my goodness, that Southern Living At Home stuff is usually so expensive. I love it, but a bit high for my budget. I cannot believe you got that for $4.00. It sure looks great now.
ReplyDeleteYou are an inventive soul, that's for sure. Happy Trash to Treasure Day!
ReplyDeleteLove the planter...but I can't help you w/ keeping the plants alive.
ReplyDeleteI love your use of the basket. It could be reused as sooooo many different things,unlimited possibilities.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane!! This is great! I love how you've used your little basket and your flowers! I just realized I commented back to you on my own blog. You were telling me Happy Birthday and I was an idiot! Thanks for the birthday wishes, sweet friend,
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Sheli ;)

ReplyDeleteI love what you did with this Diane!!! The little birdhouse just gives it that little extra special touch..thanks so much for coming by sweetie..hope you & yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

It looks wonderful with the plants and birdhouse in it! I am glad you got the basket at such a steal.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Diane, this is a great treasure. You've gotten so much use out of it already, and now it looks perfect where you have it with your plants and cute birdhouse. I still can't believe you got that for $4.00. What a deal! Great going, girl!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila :-)
Morning Diane...Another clever idea for that cute basket! The birdhouse is the perfect touch of whimsy... ;-) Bo
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, What a great idea. I love the idea of "re-purposing" things around the house to used in different ways. It's fun to have something "new" to enjoy, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane,
ReplyDeleteI love that SLAH basket! $4??? Wow! You are doing very fun things with it, too, love that!!!
I hope you have a great Thanksgiving, Diane!!!

Hi Diane, Your treasure has been put to good use. It looks great with the plants. I know the original cost on that was just what you said. I have one too and it holds a fake fruit arrangement. I need to do something else with it. Your little birdhouse is the perfect accent with the plants.
ReplyDeleteI keep plants in the house for the winter and all I do is place them where there is natural light and water them. They really do well.
Hugs...Jeanne
HI DIANE,I SIGNED MY NAME AND TOOK THE SIGN.I DO HOPE THATS OK...ANN

Very pretty arrangement, Diane!
ReplyDeleteI have plants that I've kept alive for over 35 years --lol--the key is not to overwater, and give them a window with soem hours of sunlight.
Hugs, Pat
Diane...just love the basket and what a steal you got for only $4! I love it beside your bath. Way to put it to mulitple uses! Wish I could give advice on indoor plants but I never have much luck with them. I didn't notice if Tootsie (Glenda) from Tootsie Time had been by to comment but she would be a great one to ask. Susan
ReplyDeleteGreat projects!
ReplyDeleteGostei muito da sua criatividade.
ReplyDeleteAbraço.
I liked much of their creativity.
Hug.
On their own the pieces are not that impressive. You sure did a fantastic job putting them together and creating a great piece!
