Did you ever have one of those projects that just seemed to materialize before your eyes with no prior planning? One that kinda choose you?
I was at Michael's for a different projects when I saw these textured metal letters on sale for 44 cents each. Problem was...there were only Ns & Ts. My brain worked quickly to figure if I cut an N through the center and flipped one side it could be a letter M. M,N,T. Mint. Cute on a planter. (These days my thought process is either "Cute on a planter" or "Cute as a planter"). Ok, throw them in the cart and worry about it another day.
Fast forward to later the SAME day...I am zipping in to the Rusty Chandelier and a friend wanted me to look at something in her outdoor booth. While visiting her booth I saw that she was selling...Mint plants. I kid you not. I bought a couple and decided I would worry about it another day.
A couple days later when I took the letters out of the sack, I realized they were bigger than I could use on most of the containers that I plant in. But I had a leftover roasting pan from my Fairy Garden Workshop. One with nice squarish sides. I attached the letters (and junk) with nuts and bolts. Perfect.
I planted the mint with a border of lovely blue lobelia. Step back. Nice. I love it when an unplanned plan comes together.
