I did enjoy, those are all fantastic!! How creative you are!!

Those are wonderful. Love the goodwill for containers.

you enjoy

Gotta love Goodwill!!!! Those are all fantastic! I will be Goodwill hunting this weekend for sure!

Those are so pretty! I've always been curious about how to plant things into bowls and dishes that don't come with a drainage hole. Is there a layer with rocks at the bottom? Do you drill a drainage hole? How do you avoid root rot if you're a bit too generous with the watering

@IbisFla..I was wondering the same thing,!!!!? Heading out shortly to do some Goodwill hunting since playing in the dirt is out of the question!

Beautiful containers, Dan. I love Goodwill. Happy hunting on this wet day, Linda. Not much else to do gardenwise.

I agree. I was such a snob and would never go to a thrift store. Then one day my car broke down at the post office and when I called AAA since Goodwill was across the street I decided to go in there to kill time until they arrived. I was having so much fun I did not realize how long I had been shopping.

I came out with so much garden stuff I had a hard time getting it all in the trunk.

Good story. Lesson learned. One man's trash, another woman's treasure.

Love all your creative containers Dan - nice job!!

I drill a hole in the bottom of the cups & bowls with a diamond hole saw. You can get a set of 9 on amazon for under $8 with free shipping -

Just put water in the bottom of the container to keep the bit cool and drill away. The bits are a little hard to start because they don't have a center bit but I just tilt the bit side ways until I get a groove start and then go vertical to finish it off.

Good luck,

Dan

My finds today




A few neat containers. I found some shades that I thought I could plant something in because of the hole in the bottom. The coconut monkey was to cute. Won't something that will make him look like he has hair look good??? Lol.


And baskets

Not bad I don't think.

Nice haul, Suga! I love the idea of those shades! They're a perfect shape for succulents. The coconut monkey could be a chia monkey The bowl in the third picture reminds me of some Blue Ridge pottery we have that came from my husband's grandmother. It's beautiful

Thanks this is my idea with the shades..... I also found this lazy Susan yesterday as well and this works like a charm!!!


Now I just need some smaller ones to fill in lol. Tada

the green soup tureen is stunnng! my favorite color and plants. have not had good luck at goodwill lately but garage sales are starting. always lucky there too.

On my way to my doctors office to I passed a HUGE Goodwill Store! Oh no!!! I must stop and save something!!!! Lol. I may be a little late getting home today! Haha

Lots of good ideas!

Maybe I need to wander into my local St. Vinnie's...............
