I would have never thought of this and it's such a cool way to use it!

Just a few words from an Etsy buyer and here they are!
This is perfect for my Hens and Chicks.
I would have never thought it would be for hens and chicks and I'm not sure if the meaning is literal or figurative. Is it for hens and chick feed or succulents called hens and chicks? Personally I thought it was for hens and chick feed, lol! Then I googled it.
What do you think? Most likely for the succulents, called hens and chicks.....Either way, it's a cool way to use it and I would have loved to see her photos of it, but here's what I found when I googled it.

I was going to use it to plant a very mini herb station for my kitchen window, just never got around to it. I mean, this strawberry pocket planter was very mini, like 3.5 inches tall! Below is my dream of herbs in it.

However, I don't have a very green thumb and tend to either over water or under water or just forget about the care of plants completely! I'm hoping to change that now that so much of my hoard is gone. Maybe this time around my plants won't just blend in with the rest of my hoard and get ignored.

Saying Goodbye: I had a huge planter and vase collection. Most of it I had donated during a purge and move, ten years ago, but I still had my favorites, like Bauer, McCoy and little skinny windowsill ones. Luckily, most of them have all sold.
This sea foam green planter is about 6 inches tall and may look like Bauer, but it has the McCoy hallmark on the bottom, available here

What I Learned:
1. I am so happy to see that most of my vase and planter collection have now found new lives and homes. I won't be collecting anymore of them. I am keeping two large white Bauer swirl planters that belonged to my Grandmother and two sets of her Bauer nesting ring ware pyramid mixing bowls, one in ivory and the other in green.
2. I also had a huge serving and mixing bowl collection, seven bowls are still available, here. My brother and I used to do a lot of cooking and baking from high school to college and when we'd go thrifting and find a cool bowl, we'd say, "a cook can never have too many bowls" and buy them.
3. The only thing I've been collecting lately is paper. I am so in love with Japanese paper at the moment. It's been my reward lately to start some healthier habits, while I try and stop other old bad habits.

I've been routinely relisting daily and hopefully will new list items soon because
I found a reward and have been getting up at 3 am! I have my rewards
all lined up for the next week or too and I'm so excited about it and my
new goals!
I am still postponing my exercise plan for later this week or next because over the
weekend, we went to the Peterson Automotive Museum to check out their
Vault Tour, which was not so good for my allergies, so I am in recovery
mode. I plan to write a review on the tour too!
So stay tuned!
Today is the first day in a month, that I finally feel like I've completely woken up from a month of complete lethargicness of both definitions!
Maybe you'll find something to adopt and share your story too! Thanks for looking!
