… continued …
Flowers are beautiful in their own right, however when paired up with creative containers, they make for amazing focal points.
As luck would have it, Folk magazine’s issue 6 will show what I did with flower arrangements. Here are a couple of them…
Beautiful freshly cut blooms look better tucked inside a vintage lemon puff biscuit tin, wouldn’t you agree?
The deep toned laundry line wheels plus a vintage sewing machine drawer set the stage perfectly to highlight some bright yellow flowers set into a glass jar.
(more of my ideas will be in FOLK)
How about the planted variety?
Fellow FOLK writer Michael at Inspired by Charm has you covered there!
A mounted old shelf becomes a vision of wonder with a collection of old funnels and lots and lots of gorgeous flowers in full bloom.
The junker in me gasped when I caught hold of the chicken feeder planter. Isn’t this the coolest idea?
Oh yes, and then there’s the vintage hanging scale planter…
Isn’t this stunning?
And don’t forget about the food mill planter. We called this an apple sauce maker when I was a kid.
Simply outstanding, wouldn’t you agree? Thanks Michael!

I’m not a great gardener, but I do like to plant in old teacups and teapots.
My favorite thing to plant in is something unexpected, not the usual ‘flower pot’…anything with a little whimsy!
for instance…on old coffee pot, a pair of rain boots, a rusted wheel barrel. My personal favorite is my Momma’s washpot.

I have several favorites but one I really like is an old wooden drawer.
love, love, love!
Love flower bouquets in old pitchers and teapots.
I love to plant flowers in antique enamel ware pots, pans, coffee pots, tea pots to plant in and use old enamelware plates as saucers under them
I have an old washpot I found at a yardsale. I love it because is is not “normal” I love your blog. It is my favorite. I can’t not wait to see what you have each day. Keep up the great work of inspiring.
I have an old ricer of my grandmothers. I put moss inside, peeking through, and then sweet peas (purple). So sweet.

Anything old/rustic mixed with blooming flowers or herbs is my cup of tea.
I love that there are likeminded “folk” out there. I love all the old rusty tin pieces we have collected over the years. I love to plant flowers in old pots with rusted out bottoms – instant drainage!! thanks for the opportunity to win a great prize!!
I love to plant flowers in galvanized buckets. Hope I win! This looks like a great mag!
I planted my flowers in a metal wheel next I “borrowed” my husband’s canvas water bucket and last I tin punched a tin bucket with a cool design n and put a tower in it. I have the old wooden rack that held wash basins and use it for height in my bay window with plants!
No photo to post, but my favorite is the old red radio flyer loaded full of annuals!
I really like the chicken feeder and the hanging scale ideas. We have a chicken feeder, but i think we’d have some ticked off chickens if i used it. Right now i’m pretty boring with plain old containers…but these are great suggestions…thanks .
I plant in galvanized watering troughs. Use it in my rock garden.
Hugs
