my mother-in-law's best friend
sells pottery imported from spain.
when she receives a shipment
there are usually a few pieces that have
bitten the dust during shipping.
a few weeks ago, she gave my
mother-in-law a box of
broken pottery so she could use it as garden art.
my mother-in-law,
who is so sweet she sweats maple syrup,
shared her broken pottery with me!
sooooo ....
guess where i went for ideas?!?!
of course, pinterest!
i found a couple of great pictures...
{no link available}
i didn't have this much to work with,
but i really liked how the broken pots
where still used as planters
this made me want to break
a plate & stick it in a planter ...
& i love the pine cones!
so... i took my broken pottery & found a few places to tuck them.
{even this poor little geranium looks better
sitting in it's new home}
& just stuck them in top of the planter.
{note: wear gloves ... i didn't & ended up wearing a band-aid}
so, the next time you
receive a shipment of Spanish pottery
OR break a plate unloading the dishwasher,
{you know, whichever comes first}
don't trash it .... use it to fancy up your flowers or garden
& call it art!!!!
