Wire Baskets for Nifty Thrifty Tuesday

Look at the darling black wrought-iron
baskets I found at a local thrift shop!

They appear to be brand new.
This one was only $2 &
the larger one below was $3.

I snapped these photos prior to spray painting
them with oil rubbed bronze.

They are drying at the moment &
I will line them with cocoa mats & fresh dirt
prior to setting the plants back into place.

I'm linking up with Linda at

Coastal Charm

for

Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays

Be sure to visit all the participants

for some great inspiration!

I picked up some herbs...
cilantro, lemon thyme & cherry tomato plant.

They'll join my chives & parsley in pots
on the deck near the gazebo so I can just step
out of the kitchen to snip a few while cooking.
I've really missed being able to do that all winter.

I was pleased to see how well the
^pointed^ arch design
matched the trellis that I have behind a rose bush
near the front porch.

Looks like I planned it that way all along,
but it was just pure luck.
I wasn't even thinking about it but
now they'll look great all together
at the entrance.



Thanks Linda for inspiring us to hunt for
Nifty Thrifty Treasures
&
Thanks for stopping by the Gazebo House!

fondly,
