Simply Shabby

My clever husband found this plant stand at a garage sale and painted it black to match our front door and the shutters on the house.  Then we went on a hunt for a plant that could stand not being in the sun.  Yes, the sun will come out, eventually!  These impatiens were the perfect thing for his beautiful creation.  Of course, when we were at Bushnell's Gardens (a great garden place in Granite Bay) I found this darling handmade wooden container that I can use all year and just insert any 4" pot of flowers that suits my fancy.  It will not stay on the porch, but I just had to show you.
