Flowers are beautiful in their own right, however when paired up with creative containers, they make for amazing focal points.
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.
How about the planted variety?
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!

Thanks Kim, caught it!
Thank you for hosting! Little Bit
I like to plant in galvanized pails and laundry tubs!
Such beautiful flowers and containers. I love to plant flowers in galvanized buckets. There’s something about the bright colors of the flowers against the plain bucket that makes me smile. Indoors, I have an old Stanley thermos that looks really good with cut flowers. Thanks for hosting Donna and for the giveaway chance:-)
Love the beautiful containers you featured! I love to use single blooms in a cluster of vintage bottles. Poinsettias blooms at Christmas time were my favorite.
Posted your Folk magazine giveaway on my Facebook page:-)
Love your planters, Donna…especially the scale! I love to plant flowers in an old wicker picnic basket! Thanks for hosting!…hugs…Debbie
I have never heard of this magazine- Where have I been? I don’t sign up for many giveaways but I DO LOVE magazines and have let most of my own expire since I quit working. Anyway, my NEW project is….I junk picked an old enamel stove in pretty decent shape and I have to get it moved around to my patio. I am going to fill pots and pans for the burners with flowers and open the bread warmers and oven and add plants there, too. I hope to do that this weekend. Hope you have a great weekend! xo Diana
I have posted your giveaway on my blog FB page! :-)…Debbie
Hi, Donna!! My first time on your blog!
Leanne from Because (I think) I can told me about your blog!
I bought 2 old kettles to use as planters in a garage sale 2 weeks ago.
I also bought 3 old pickle jars, but they are BIG, like planters. They have numbers printed on them.
So these will be planters (hopefully this weekend) too.
I am not much of a gardner so I thought interesting pots would “save” me, LOL!
Nice to “meet” you!!!!
I adore the flowers in the vintage biscuit tin! Thanks for hosting 🙂

I love planting in all kinds of containers! I just planted succulents in a vintage yellow colander!
Love all the flowers in different containers. Beautiful!!
I LOVE to plant flowers in an old wheelbarrow that was my Dad’s.
Though it’s very old and a pinkish, reddish color
and falling apart, I can’t let go of it. He passed away 12 yrs ago.

Thanks for hosting Donna! This year I found planting and decorating a picnic basket that I had laying around for years to be so much fun!
I finally got my act together and signed up to follow you through email. I never can keep up on what my favorite bloggers are doing unless it lands in my email. So looking forward to catching up with all your junky goodies. Have a great weekend. -K
Thank you for kicking off our weekends!

Just linked up my post with the snowball blooms in glass bottles nestled in a wood tote sitting in my living room.
I enjoyed all your creative ideas of things to use as planters and thanks for the opportunity to win Folk magazine.

I have two favorite flower planters … but my all-time fave is plain old mason jars! If they’re blue, even better!
I linked up a flower post for a second chance to win. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
Finally, I blogged about the giveaway. Have a great weekend, Donna!
