Hi everyone! I'm finally back after a long weekend break and some relaxation with the family. We had such wonderful and extremely hot weather this past weekend. My family and I spent most of our time in the pool and as a result I have some very hot pink colored shoulders!
I did squeeze in one little project though!
I've been eyeing some painted polka flower pots that Amy over at positively splendid put together, and decided to make some for myself!
I started off by shopping for three planters in various sizes. I also purchased some potting soil and different types of flowers.
I painted the pots in three bright colors and hand painted the white polka dots.
I put small rocks from our garden in the bottoms of the planters before adding the soil. My daughter snapped this lovely photo of me as I was adding the flowers.
My completed tiered planter.
My front porch is finally starting to come together! I'm hoping to add a few more touches and then show you the entire porch later this week.
Hope you have a great day! It is storming here with rain and strong winds so I guess that rules out the pool for today!
Amy

I LOVE those polka dots! What a cute idea to stack a few pots together instead of side by side :-) I have a brand new link party going on and I'd be thrilled if you'd link this up!
