What a lovely location for your gorgeous shawl planter, Esperanza! Such a beautiful site and my eyes are drawn to your tall, dramatic shawl pot. It's now one of my favorites, too Smiling . And you've planted it so beautifully. (You didn't crochet the shawl yourself, did you?)

"Yes! Do the shoe rack idea. I thought of this also and I have one but it has mostly synthetic material. I was thinking I could use it as a base though and drape the material over it. You will be my hero if you get that accomplished before I do." --- Ooh, ooh, ooh...you've got to go with your wonderful idea of draping fabric over the shoe rack, Esperanza! That way, you could make the shoe rack look so much more interesting than just plain by adding shapes and textures. And I actually think the synthetic material might work better for planting the pockets. Go for it and take lots of pics!

"That's why all the shapes are so irregular is because I had such a difficult time bending the stuff." -- Funny how things work out, because I really like the irregular shapes of your wall planters. Is it hardware cloth that you used? I've wanted to try using stucco lath, but I've seen too many photos of bloody fingers from the lath...Yikes!

Wishing you all a great week ahead.
