#1 – Eclectic Bud Vases
This set of five different glass bud vases has so many clever uses!
Use the vases in the Spring to hold wildflowers from your yard, then display the vases on a kitchen windowsill – they’re sure to make you smile. Set the vases in a group on a dining room table and fill with interesting leaves from the plants in your yard – for example, small hosta leaves, ferns – any kind of leaf with an interesting texture looks beautiful in these vases.
The vases also make perfect propagation tubes for growing more houseplants! Set the vases on a shelf among your plants for that added sparkle. If you prefer, tie a length of twine or jute around the neck of the vases and then hang them in a window for a unique display.
Host a garden party – in your garden – and use the vases to hold mini bunches of flowers, then send the vases home with your guests as a favor. So many possibilities!
#2 – Fern Hooked Throw Pillow
This hand-hooked fern throw pillow is gorgeous! It can be used indoors or outdoors. The bright green of the leaf stands out on the black background, making quite a statement piece.
Use this pillow on a couch in your living room, or on a setee in an indoor plant room. It would also look spectacular on a bench on a front porch or patio, nestled among your plants. This pillow makes a great gift for any plant lover!
#3 – Plastic Garden Cloche
This set of plastic garden cloches has so many uses.
Use a cloche over a houseplant to provide more humidity. This is especially important for a young plant that has just been transplanted. When propagating houseplants, place the plant under a cloche to help the plant establish new roots – the humidity and warmth will help the plant grow quicker.
Use the cloches outside in a garden or flower bed to protect young seedlings in the Spring. The cloches can also be used in the Fall to cover tender plants and protect them from chilly nights. I like to use fabric grow bags on our patio to grow small crops of vegetables. These cloches fit perfectly over the bags and help the young plants grow – they also protect the plants from getting eaten by the wild animals on our property.
These cloches are also really handy for backyard picnics and BBQs – just place them over plates of food to keep the pests away.

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!
