POT....

or should I say POTS....

THIS is such a worthless post and, in the midst of all the HORRIBLE things going on
in our world,

I should be out doing SOMEthing worthwhile but, NOOO...

I stay inside my COCOON WORLD.

I DO pray a lot...
for our country and for our president...praying for all our saftey
and praying our president will put on his big boy pants  and  LEAD.

We can't turn on the tv without bad news hitting us in the stomach...

I thought that this kind of spousal abuse

 was against the law whether the mate filed charges or not.

It dang well SHOULD be against the law.

Hitting her like that, I could almost promise that he will hit her again....

and again.....

and again.... until he kills her.

Of course, I pray he DOESN'T......but.......

ok...I'll get off THAT subject and move on to POT  POTS...

PLANT POTS...

Some of you might remember that I bought these little pot holders and pots a few weeks back from WORLD MARKET...

my wall needed SOMEthing on either side of the tv in our dining area.

I PLANNED to have herbs in them...

well...

HA HA on that notion.

 ...the pots are so small, the herbs die  won't do all that well.

 

Ivy does FAIR...but nothing to write home about.

Given a very little time, the pot will be too small for ivy, too.

 OK...I'm thinking here, "I might have made a BAD decision

on buying these little boards holding 4 pots each...."

and...besides all that..they aren't pretty !

They are too industrial looking for me.

"what the he**  heck  was I thinking that day I bought them?"

I've had them too long to return..

.and WHO KNOWS where that sales receipt could be !

What the heck to do...??

I have a roll of burlap ribbon...would it help, ya think ?

MAYbe I can live with these little pots awhile longer if they are softened up...

really, tho, i can't tell that it helps much.....*heavy sigh

The ribbon can come off at any time...

and MAYbe I'll just add fabulous fauxs to the little pots.

I can get some pretty color that way...like the little purple flowers there.

The thing is.....

I don't want fauxs....I want the real thing and WHAT can

grow for any length of time in a pot barely larger than 

tuna fish can...???

 Well, at least the
 burlap ribbon ties in a bit with the basket holding a 

fabulous faux plant (hiding tv cords handsomely)....

These little "do-dad" pots on either side of the tv and cabinet

make this large wall, between 2 windows, look fairly nice and I THINK

I might can live with them, now that they aren't NAKED anymore.

♥

I'll give it a try for a few months and then, if I STILL don't like them,

I might can move them out of here on CRAIGS LIST.....

Tell me if you can think of a way to make these prettier.
paint the boards...?
paint the pots...?
put small burlap flowers on the burlap ribbon....?
they would look better sticking out the top of a dumpster...?
None of the above...????

♥

I don't make too many mistakes on things I think I like and then,

once they are in the house, I don't like them....
but I've made a few since moving into this new home of ours...

Another big booboo and how we plan to fix it is lined up for another post...
another day.

How about you? 

What's the worst thing you've bought and felt like you had to live with it awhile

and JUST HATED IT...??

whats it wed.
