Turn it over.....your vintage planters that is. Did you k
now that you can use your collectible ceramic planters as risers or pedestals to display other planters and objects. By the way, you can also turnover bowls and use the bottom bowl to display the top bowl. In the photo shown, the whimsical polka dot planters is a great fit for the yellow base (planter below) . Try mixing colors as well as creating displays with the same color.Meet "The Queen Of Turnovers"

I do that bottom bowl flip with sets of mixing bowls - turn one bowl over inside the largest bowl then a smaller bowl on top - more fun than nesting them inside each other and gives depth to a display. Your post has me looking around to see what else I can flip over! thanks.
ReplyDeleteFlipping over planters is how I display my pottery. It works very well and I get lots of compliments on the arrangements. http://cindysclipboard.blogspot.com/2010/04/yellow-green-and-white.html
