Enchanted

Recently, I won a giveaway over at The Enchanted Home -- and a set of lovely "Paris" boxes was sent off to me. Sadly, they never arrived, having been damaged along the way -- and so, I was graciously given some new choices.  I chose this planter sight unseen.  Tina said it was creamy white, and could be used as a planter -- or even a utensil holder.  I was intrigued!

It arrived a couple of days ago -- but not in my mailbox... and not on my covered front porch.  It was a dark and gloomy afternoon, and the clouds were lying low, making you believe it could storm hard at any moment. Our super-thoughtful mailman brought it around the back of our house, and into our garage, leaving it outside my kitchen door.  When I pulled into the garage that afternoon, there was my package and all of the mail waiting for me, safe and dry.  Awesomeness.

And speaking of awesomeness... I really like this sight-unseen planter.  Look what I planted!

So far, I've changed my fall decorations around a little every day, I think.  I like to keep my sweet hubby guessing!
