Well, for a couple of days, at least.
And if I can line up my motivation with my weekend and a few spare minutes, sometimes a little creative magic happens.
I got stupid excited over this little ensemble. It's a clay pot that I set on top of a column of pots that are glued together. It was meant to be a birth bath that my father-in-law created, but the saucer that made the "bath" fell off, so I was left with the column. It is sitting on top of a concrete paver that has cut outs and wasn't too steady, so I scrounged up a random floor tile (being junky has *some* advantages, I guess!) and it fit perfectly to add stability. I had planted several perennials and this vertical placement added some interest. I just l-o-v-e it!
Here's a closer look at how they are glued together:
My husband did me a "favor" and planted some honeysuckle in the front yard....
I'm not complaining toooo much. It smells deeee-vine!!
My rose bush was my biggest surprise. (This is my favorite photo of my roses.)
I counted over a dozen blooms on one bush! (My husband's sure fire way to make sure I get a dozen roses every now and again, I guess!)
Close your eyes and breathe deeply.
Can't you just smell it?

OH how beautiful! I love honeysuckle and I love roses! I was inspired over the weekend to do some gardening so I did! I love your idea with stacking and gluing pots!
Somehow I missed this post. I can almost smell all your sweet blossoms. Our last home had a fence between us and the neighbors fully draped in honeysuckle. The fence, not the neighbors. ;) I miss it. Again, the fence, not the neighbors.
