Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Let's Upcycle our Spring Plants

I know there are lots of you out there that are buried in winter and some that are already thinking it is wayyyyyy to hot this time of year, but just hang in there.....Spring is coming. To get us in the mood for spring and all the flowers and planting that will be going on I thought we would visit a few Etsy shops to see what they have for upcycled flower pots that we could use for those newly planted plants and maybe some fresh cut flowers for the floral shop. 

Looks at these cute upcycled jelly jars from BootsNGus. I have some of these jars that I use to make our wild berry jellies so I could put some of my plants in them....oh wait....I don't have any indoor plants. LOL! :)

We use to have an antique business and I sold a lot of these copper tea pots that Classic Endearments has. They can be used for a variety of purposes, but I really like these flowers. You could use some spring flowers in them. 

Oh my......remember the days of these!! I still have a few of them in a drawer somewhere. Man on man have we come a ways since these. GiftsWithCharm has these and what a different idea. :)

And then CatchAllDrawer has this coffee pot that you can repurpose into a flower pot. You could put a plant or flowers in it. They always make great pots. 

So......if you are still buried in that snow just keep thinking of Spring and start planning your spring planting. :)

Have a great week!

Colleen :)
