Springtime!

 Deliciously Delightful  Ideas!
 
Dear Friends, 
Boxed Ornaments 
Get ready...the first day of Spring is right around the corner and I know you are looking for new ideas to freshen up your garden and patio retreats! It has been a very long and cold winter and I have enjoyed watching the earth awaken from its sleep to new spring life. The fragrance of the fruit trees in bloom is more incredible than I remember. Just stepping out the door of my home I am bombarded by a potpourri of smells that I just wouldn't trade for anything. They will only last a short while and I want to enjoy them as long as I can! And the birds......they are happily singing their thanks for the beautiful sunshine that has followed lots and lots of winter rain. Yes, I do love spring! And this spring it's all about the garden!
Incredible Pot Hangers 
Pot Hanger Tree 
You know we love the "mystery" of hiding what holds the pots! It makes your guests curious and you get to have fun showing them how clever you are! Here's a fantastic way to do that with our Incredible Pot Hangers. Here's a pic of pot hangers on an old dead pine tree in our front yard. (above) Or maybe you need a fast and easy way to disguise that old wooden fence that has become a bit unsightly over the years(right). It's also a good way to add color to an area where you may not have a lot of room but you do have a wooden post to display several pretty pots of flowers on! (right) Of course....you can order your pot hangers HERE! Check out the savings on multiple packages.
 
You can even combine using the pot hangers with our Table Top Stand as we have below.

Pot Hangers on the Fence
 
Pot Hangers on Fence
 
This also makes a great screen for unsightly areas of the yard or for adding privacy to your patio. Originally this was an 8ft. piece of fencing purchased from your local lumber yard or garden center and cut to the needed length. Nailed to the patio posts it made a quick and easy screen.

Here are the pot hangers with pots on a 4" X 4" post.....

Porch/Tree Hangers and Strawberries!
 
Boxed OrnamentsThis is a really great idea......plant your strawberries in the Incredible Porch/Tree Hanger. We've been doing this for the last few years and find that they are not only easier to harvest but we don't have to deal with the pill bugs that like to make their homes in the strawberry plants and live on the berries and leaves. You can also hang the planter closer to the kitchen, right out the kitchen door for easy picking. By the way, that works great for herbs, too, if you don't have room for an herb garden!
