Reuse Gardening
I have recently found some amazing ideas
for garden and outdoor decorating
using old shoes, bags, or even kitchen's utensils !
Firstly, I really enjoyed the FlowerGardenGirl blog where old shoes
do have a place in your house and garden !

| Old boots with plants instead of ordinary pots with plants outside the door surprise your friends by having these two funny old fashioned boots! |

| grey boots among other plants in the garden or even filling a small spare space inside your flowerbeds |

| One of my favorites pictures. Actually , I am really considering of searching for old kitchens utensils at my mothers storage room ... |
If you have kids -or if you are one of those who love every childish object,
full of joy and colour,
dont miss the HomesPunWithLove blog ! You will love it !
As i did , especcially with these little green faced boots planted with herbs !
Aren't they adorable?

For the romantic or even as a Valentine's gift try to make Hanging Plant Pouches from the usefull instructions of Synthia Shaffer.
| Synthia Shaffer's hanging plant pouches can be the perfect gift for a new home, a friend or your Valentine <3 |
| The sofisticated hanging plant pouch from old clothes ( wool ) by Synthia Shaffer, of course! |
Finally , one of my favorites ever, a hanging planted bag for my door!
Flowerists can do fantastic things using their knowledge and imagination
and a few real flowers of course !
Back in the 90s these bags were so in fashion...
( we were teenagers then,too)
i think i have one of them somewhere...
that's a great idea to use it again !
