New pottery has arrived!








I brought in concrete planters in a First Nations style, they are stunning. They have an amazing sense of weight, and calm, and will be perfect in a west coast theme garden.






















The new pottery has arrived, phew, that makes for a couple long days! I am very happy with the glazes, especially the new green. The pictures don't do it justice, they are mottled a in a gorgeous chocolate color that gives a tortise shell like effect.

  1. Oooh, I love those!

    Pictures of stacked pots like that make me think of garden centers, and spring, and freedom outside. Aargh! I think I just got spring fever.

  2. Both of those First Nation containers bring up thoughts of moss plantings, or multi-stem bonsai/sakkei plantings more than anything with flowers. Scleranthus, perhaps, or Raoulia, if the drainage holes are big enough. Really 'strong' planters. Like them a lot!

    Agree on the tortoiseshell ones: I have on with a Thuja 'Rheingold' in it - and I like that combination.

    (Wish you hadn't poked my 'pot acquisition button', though...;-D )
