Outdoor This and That 8 - Copycat & Metamorphosis
August 05, 2012
I wanted to use this idea for Debbiedoo's copycat party earlier this week but the frame had to be re-glued, and I didn't get it ready in time.
The frame is from an old country sign my Mom gave me. I threw the sign part away and copied Stephanie Lynn's (Under the Table and Dreaming) framed pot of sedums.
My pot has Angelina sedum, Blue Spruce sedum and hen and chicks.
A nail in the frame holds the pot in place.
This is my inspiration! I think these are Angelina sedum.
Now for the metamorphosis part...
This is outdoor vignette that I blogged about in Today's Garden Junk!
I just moved the bird houses, the white enamelware pot with a nicotiana, and the milk can top with boxwood basil to join my new frame.

Oh I love it. What a great idea and your copy cat is wonderful. Love all the pots and the birdhouses, so fun. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteSo cute Carlene. Darn, I just gave me daughter a red (almsot identical in color to yours) wormwood frame that I have had for years. It would have been so cute to do something similar. I love how the entire outdoor vignette turned out.

Loving your garden vignette. and love the pot in the frame. I also love milk can top planter, so cool. I have a milk can out in the yard and I'll be putting a plant in it soon. The old frame is such a pretty chippy color, and love how you hung in below, such a cute vignette! So glad you shared your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – your creativity helped make the party a success!
ReplyDeleteYour birdhouses are adorable. I love the idea of using a frame around a potted plant, really makes it look special. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove your garden vignette! Your red framed succulent is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCame over from Charmer to see your garden vignette. You did an excellent job of copy-catting. Love the red frame - don't know that I could put it outside. I really get excited when I see someone who plants in every imaginable thing like I do. I do not like the look of everything in matching pots.

Cute! I love the the look of the plant in that old red frame!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to frame a potted plant! Your vignette is so sweet. Thanks for stopping by, Laura
ReplyDeleteCarlene, I like your flower pot in a frame. I think I might just have to copy you next summer or maybe this fall. Wouldn't a frame look pretty with mums in the pot? When I first saw your birdhouses and potted planted, my eye immediately went to the milk can top but I didn't recognize what it was. Glad you told it's true identity!------------ Shannon
