I found the perfect elevated planter!   I love that it’s square and tall, it’s about accent table height.

By the way, that smaller round planter is my new mint mixer.   I now have sweet mint and peppermint outside the back door for easy access. Mint is great to use in fruit salads and drinks (lemonade, water, etc).   But back to my new favorite planter, I planted a variety of partial sun tolerant plants (dusty miller, impatiens, vinca, etc) for a nice mix of color and texture.

I also love that it has an insert for the plants, so the entire thing isn’t extremely heavy.    The metal insert fits in the synthetic wicker holder.

I purchased this one at HomeGoods and have been looking for others but haven’t found more yet.   Do you have any go to places for garden supplies?

Last week,  I picked up two of these Allen & Roth pillow covers from Lowes.  Even though it’s not showing online, they are currently marked down in the store to $2.49 each.   This is just for the pillow cover, but as I’ve mentioned before, you can find feather pillow inserts at Ikea for a reasonable price!

The black and white is so versatile and I love the grosgrain ribbon greek key design.

Have you come across any other great deals?   Let me know if you end up getting these covers!
