Teapots also make fabulous planters! How did I know that when I planted this plant the flower would match the teapot perfectly? This teapot without a lid made the perfect vessel for this blooming beauty!

My friend, Susi, from BocaFrau gave me a present this weekend! She made me my own blog button featuring my header ! Check it out at the bottom of my page! If you are interested in one for your blog she would be happy to make that happen for you for only $10! She has really worked hard on learning the blog business and how to make everything look pretty!!! Thanks, Susi! You can go to her blog by clicking here and leave her a message if you are interested.

Indeed she is!!! I was tickled she offered! 🙂
Daintily pretty. Now what is the flower growing in the teapot? I am looking, trying to figure that out.
You are way more blog tech savvy than me.
I have no idea what it is ! It was in a bunch of succulents that I got for a vertical planter and I just stuck it in there. :-0
Oh, OK. A vertical planter? Is it made from a pallet? Love those.
It is basically a frame with chicken wire covering it. Pretty simple idea but I bought it and did not make it myself.
The teapot makes a very pretty planter, the perfect showcase for that darling plant.
I know it is, isn’t it? And I had no clue there would be little pink blossoms!!! It was a nice surprise!
Thanks for the shout-out BethAnn. It was my pleasure!!! Love how this came out in the teapot and definitely something to keep in mind if my clumsy self continues to break pottery! 🙂
I actually bought this one lidless! So it was perfect for a plant. Just gotta make sure you have plenty of drainage in it. 🙂
I love fun planters like that! I also love using things in ways they were not originally meant to be used. My mother gave me a teapot once at a time in my life when I had no use for such a thing! (Small kids, didn’t drink tea often.) So I began using it as a container for my utensils…which it still is to this day! I love it in this capacity!
I love that you use it for utensils!!! That is a very creative use for something that you would not have used! 🙂
🙂 It doesn’t hold a lot, but I use it strictly for my rubber scrapers and whisks. That way I can always find them easily and they don’t get lost in the larger utensil holder – an antique cookie tin!
It sounds like a great system!!!
beautiful planter! I love that the flower and teapot are matching. it was meant to be! 🙂
Great job done by Susi. She’s fantastic. I’ll add your button to my blog roll on my own blog.
Thanks so much!!! It was meant to be! Who would have thunk? I don’t know why I never did the button thing correctly before —I just didn’t think about it I guess. Thanks to Susi now if anyone wants it they can have it! 🙂
Tea pots make great planters! Here, though it’s hard to tell which is prettier, the pot or the plant–no pun intended, I swear!

They are both pretty!!! Hope all is well!
How nice that your flower matched your teapot.
I know! It is a perfect match!
Flower and teapot looking perfect together, very pretty!
Thanks!!! You would have thought I had planned it, right? 🙂
What an awesome use for a lidless teapot!
It is pretty much a perfect use, isn’t it????
Can’t think of a better one!
Your teapot is as purty as a flewer. I’ll have to click over and visit Susi- your button is as cute as–never mind 😀
Oh that was a good one, Katybeth!!! Susi is awesome. In so many ways.
