These Boob Planters are Awesome


These Boob Planters are Awesome- design addict mom

How are you doing? We are officially on Summer break, and I have been busy with all things garden. I recently came across these boob planters and I love them! What a fun idea!

 Sonia Rose of Rosegrown is the creative behind these "booblicious" pots. I visited her shop to grab a couple ( they are referred to as Goddessware) but not surprisingly, they are all sold out, so I am anxiously awaiting a restock.

On the Hunt for a Really Big Garden Pot to Repot My Fiddle Leaf Fig-design addict mom
The other day on Instagram, I mentioned that my fiddle leaf fig, Glory had fallen over.  She wasn't damaged from the fall, but I think she was telling me she needed a bigger garden pot, so today, finally, I am going to hunt for a really big pot. I am keeping my fingers crossed!. 


If you're repotting in a really big pot and would like some tips, I found some great ones HERE. I will keep you posted on operation find Glory the fig, a really big pot. xx

Garden Walls.

Is it too early to be posting about Garden related things? I hope not! I believe we have 53 days until Spring and I can't wait! I have always been fascinated with garden walls/wall gardens. They are a great solution if there isn't space for horizontal gardening. They add interest and depending on the foliage used, can be great for  providing privacy.

How I Clean My Terracotta Pots.

IMAG1199
Unfortunately I left some of my pots out in the elements and as a result, I had to give them a good cleaning before planting.

Very Simple Cleaning Tips:
  • I filled a spray bottle with 50/50 percent solution of water and vinegar
  • I used one of those non abrasive scouring pads  to scrub and that’s it! You can also use a bottle cleaning brush or other type of brush to scour away the grime. Personally, I don’t strive for a glistening clean pot on the outside. However, it’s a great idea to get all that stuff out from the inside before doing any fresh planting.



Sending lots of healing love and light to all affected by this disaster in Oklahoma. It’s all been so overwhelmingly heartbreaking to watch.
Blessings and Happy Tuesday everyone. XX

Garden Pots.

I love to buy garden pots and as a result, i have amassed quite a collection. I mostly have terracotta pots ranging all in all shapes and sizes. However, i do have a couple modern ones mixed in with the bunch.

What kind of garden pots do you tend to buy? Do you tend to stick to one style of garden pot? I personally tend to buy what i like which has resulted to my pot collection being more eclectic.
