All that work, to be ready in advance?
Well, these beautiful planters died. After weeks of near 100˚ temps, while we were out of the house when it was being painted, and no water—well....they couldn't be expected to thrive. Had I known the house painting was going to be a six week process and not a two week process, I wouldn't have made these so far in advance.
We re-arranged the fairies' front yards...
Re-grouped the pots...
Added new details. These pots, and the white ones, were bought on mega sale at Joann. The others were Goodwill finds. The textural balls were on über-sale at Joann as well. Remember my inspiration from a few years back? I'm delighted that the effect was the same.
More ideas are gathered here and here.
The effect was lovely, and simple. I hope to keep them alive around the yard, but these 100˚ days are making that challenging. We loaned them to some friends for James'* age three birthday party, we'll see how they fared.
