#1 – Flying Pig Hanging Planter
You don’t have to wait for “when pigs fly” to enjoy these three different sized flying pig hanging planters – they’ll make you smile any time!
These ceramic planters are hand made by an artist in Italy. There are three different sizes to choose from. Just imagine your favorite plant in one of the flying hanging planters! This planter would also make a unique and memorable gift for the plant lover friend in your life.
Hang a flying pig planter in a guest bathroom as a fun surprise for visitors. Hang one in a nursery or child’s bedroom for a touch of whimsy. The planter would also be perfect for a home office – “I’ll get through my to-do list as soon as pig’s fly!”.
#2 – Black and White Floral Rug
This Black and White Floral Rug is perfect for a front porch!
I have a rug similar to this (just has a different pattern) and I absolutely love it! I’ve had my rug now for three years and it still looks as good as the day I got it. The rug is made of polypropylene and is UV-resistant. It holds up extremely well on one of our front entries. It’s very easy to clean – just shake it out and rinse with a hose. Because of the plastic-like material, this rug dries out very quickly when it rains. While this rug is an awesome outdoor rug, it can also be used inside – it would be great in a mudroom, sun room, or basement. Because the rug is simple black and white, it can fit with any decor. Where would you use this rug?
#3 – Patio Pillow/Cushion Storage
Trust me on this… if you have a patio, porch, or deck where you use outdoor pillows, outdoor throw blankets, and outdoor cushions, you need this plastic storage box. First, let me say – this box is intended to be a parcel delivery box. Something you put out on your front step or porch for packages to be tucked into when they’re delivered to your door. And while this storage box certainly does what it’s intended to do, I think it also makes the perfect storage box for patio pillows!
I know there are deck boxes made for storing patio pillows and cushions to keep them out of the weather when not in use, but none of the ones I’ve found actually look cool. This one does!
I like the simple, clean lines of this box, it’s large capacity, and it’s easy to remove lid. It’s really perfect! If you wanted to, you could spray this box with textured stone paint to make it look like stucco. I’m going to fabricate some aluminum strips to put in the small recessed area to cover the words “deliveries” and the “Step2” logo – I think that will make this look more stately. But even without these changes, this storage box rocks!

You can find product links to all three things on Pinterest at Things I Like and you can find some of these things in my Amazon Marketplace Storefront.
NOTE: Since my job is an online store and mentoring ecommerce business owners, I spend a LOT of time online each day. While most of that time is spent working, I do occasionally stumble across websites, articles, and cool things that I really like. I save these things to a Pinterest board, so someday when I have some free time, I can go back to that board and enjoy the things I found. I enjoy sharing these fun finds with you, and hope you find them interesting, too!
