now that I have some free time - and getting ready to move even more stuff into my new place - and I have these two great silk plants from the office (that everyone has thought were real for the past three years) to find a spot for. I had them in these hammered copper pots that I bought for cheap at Target way back when, but they never looked just right. The other day I got a ceramic pot for the ficus at WalMart and it's perfect in the living room - after I moved the ginkgo tree to the lanai. I have tried to find a suitable pot for the chinese evergreen, to no avail. My shopping mantra is now: when looking for just the thing, go to Target. I browsed the whole store, as I am wont to do, and in the garden shop (where else?) I found a lovely terra cotta pot for $14.00. My only problem was getting it into the cart from the top shelf. You can do it, I encouraged myself and prepared for a hernia. And when I got a good hold on the thing, I realized that it wasn't pottery at all. The thing sure had me fooled!
And the best part is that when I got to the checkout, it was only $8.99!
