*~*~*

Inspired by my brother and sister-in-law's decor, I purchased some succulents from the Home Depot and planted them in my Hull swan planter.

From top left, clockwise: Haworthia, Burro's Tail and String of Buttons.

Here is a side view of my planter.
(I know I am officially old because I love me a vintage planter)

The best part of today? Zooming with my boy.

I worry so much about him over there.  So happy to see and talk to him.

Technology is a good thing. 

Lady Madonna (055/365)

“Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
Who find the money when you pay the rent
Did you think that money was heaven sent”

To reward myself after folding and putting away 5 loads of laundry, and before I ran my Thursday errands, I decided to stop by one of my favorite thrifts, the Senior Citizens Thrift Store.  I just love this thrift – this is the one where I found my orange chair.  Today, I found this Hull planter and two pieces of Haeger pottery.  I thought they would look good placed upon the shelves of the wooden hutch (the one I purchased last July) that sits on my front porch.  I brought the pieces to the older gentleman at the front check out desk, along with a tin strawberry printed serving tray and 3 small wooden block houses.  He glanced at my choices and quoted me a price – one dollar.  Do you see why I just love the Senior Citizens Thrift Store?
