Tuesday's Treasure















This is a planter the kids got me for my birthday! It is wrought iron and very, very heavy...Kristin found it while browsing through an antique store and I LOVE it! It really goes with our house which kind of has a cottage look to it...and I don't know exactly where I am going to put it just yet, but I am looking forward to spending some time in the garden and finding a good fit for it...what kind of flowers do you think I should plant in it?

what a beautiful piece and treasured find.
I think something old fashioned needs to go in it. Yes, like it was suggested geraniums or sweet peas. Bleeding hearts or Begonias would be wonderful too.
