I bought a few succulents from the Plant Stand in Costa Mesa and gave them a new home in some of my vintage/kitschy containers.

I found some really cute ideas that I wanted to share with you. The cat bed looks really easy to make and I bet you can find an old suitcase laying around some thriftshop. I know you can find some used workboots there also. 

Wow look at these recycled tire planters! I bet you could get them for free from a tire store and just spray paint them.

I have a patio that is about 25ft x6 ft and i have plants out there but it gerts filled up fast, so I found this article about a vertical planter....http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Organic-Vertical-Planter/

and check out this cute and recylced bird feeder!

Tomorrow is the big day! I have been putting on the finishing touches to the container gardens and if I do say so myself... they look darned good! My airplants arrived today and I am thrilled! They are as beautiful and exotic as the pictures described. Now I know I must order at least a month before I need them.

If you live in Orange or LA County and want something to do... stop by the Mercantile Market at Carpe Diem Experience, Fullerton , CA. The address is 115 South Harbor Blvd. The vendors are in the parking lot in back of the store. I of course will be selling my containter gardens and there will be other fantastic vendors too... lots will be hand-made from the artists. Hope to see you there!

Have a fun weekend and don't forget to laugh out loud!

I bought more plants today and put them in their new containers. Still no sign of my airplants... it has been over 2 weeks... ok only by a couple of days... but the suspense is killing me!

Hope your week is full of laughter and anticipation!

I went to the State Board of Equalization today and got my seller's permit. I figured I need to just do it and start signing up with these flea markets that I have been wanting to sell at. Yesterday's visit to the Long Beach flea market got me excited. There were lots of shoppers there and they were buying. It costs $5 to get in so I guess anyone willing to give up $5 from the start is serious about buying. Did I mention that I am selling at the Lamb of God church parking lot this Saturday? They are located in Anaheim. I will mention it again on Friday and give the address in case you are in the neighborhood. I ordered 35 air plants almost 2 weeks ago and I am excited about getting them. I have fun containers to put them in and will be selling them too... hopefully they arrive before Saturday. If not I do have several succulents ready to go.

Hope your day is succulent and full of laughter!
