the last couple of events i have done have used succulents, flowers or herbs 'planted' in vintage tins as event decor.
i love this concept and think that it would work perfectly on the silvery wooden deck i am planning on constructing outside 'carrie'.
something like this.
imagine a mixture of agaves, herbs, violets, daffodils and daisies. all in colourful, vintage tins.
they would contrast beautifully with the black exterior of 'carrie' and add a whimsical, vintage touch.
(would also be perfect for growing herbs at a cafe. or in an apartment.)

Even good old tinned tomato tins make great planters. I gave my mum one planted with daffodils for mothers day. the yellow of the daffs worked beautifully with the metal of the tin.
that's so interesting Anna. I shall have to look it up! All is well with me,.. hopefully your life is happy too! xxx
Lovely, colourful and relaxed...what more could you ask for? :))

Oh what a great idea. Lucky me - I was just given some lovely tins by my sister NOW I know just what to do with them.

I love them. I keep meaning to use our Olive oil containters as they would look marvellous as well. xx
