Today is my first post on Smiling Sally's Blue Monday. I wanted to join this blog, but blue is not a color that I think of when decorating my home. Well, after closer inspection and more blue "awareness", I've found that I do have blue! And I like it! Thanks Sally for being so inspirational! (I love her Blue Monday logo! - Isn't he beautiful?!)
This post is about a gift from a group of children that I taught several years ago. They surprised me with flowers in this neat planter. I loved the mosaic on the sides and the rich blues.
"Imagine" is the word for this side...do you see anything else?
I've had this planter for about three years and I hadn't seen the butterfly before...Here's the second side... "forget me not".
See the flowers? Are they "forget me not" flowers?This is the third side. The word for this side is "dream".
Notice the stars...
And the final side.
I have always loved this planter...now I have a new appreciation for it!
Enjoy your Monday!
What a beautiful pot, and extra special because it was made with love just for you! Thanks for sharing. Happy 1st Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteThis is the nicest planter I have seen in a long time. In fact, I have never seen one like it. I can see why you would treasure it. You did an excellent job for your first Blue Monday.

Sharlotte, welcome to Blue Monday! What a pretty (and unique) mosaic planter. I love the different shades of blue, and especially love the butterfly! I'm sure it brings back pleasant memories of the children who gave it to you.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will join us again next week as you discover more and more blues in your home.
Sincerely,
Janie
