Little Friday project

I was given a little cyclamen plant the other day. Really gorgeous, and I never knew that they have such beautiful and delicate scent. And it's a white one. My favourite. However, it was in a rather ordinary plastic little holder thingy. Wanting to elevate it into something more rustic and befitting I found an old terracotta flower pot and popped it in there. Perfect. And for a finishing touch I took some moss from the garden and nestled it all around.
See take a peek at my little project ....
Exhibit 1 - cute plant, ugly container
To the rescue - lovely antique terracotta flower pot - Mmmm.....
Cyclamen, now planted in the terracotta pot with gorgeous moss all around
And tah dah! Finally allowed  inside - and looking gorgeous too





HAPPY WEEKEND TO ONE AND ALL

    It looks so much better in that terra cotta pot!
    They are sweet plants and white goes with everything.
    Just lovely Sarah!

    You are so good with those all-important finishing touches. You took ordinary to extraordinary! The moss just finishes the pot off nicely. xxx

    Will be complimenting by copying, I have a lovely local antique shop which sells lots of these pots, I'm thinking nice gifts for teachers and helpers....

    Bonjour Sarah, Love the transformation that the old pot and the moss made. I love moss and use it everywhere as I think that plants often look "lonely" without it :-)

    à tres bientot,

    Leeann x
