I thought this was a good place to start an ivy plant. This came from my family and so I like to use it where I can see it. Over the years I have used it for cookies, for utensils, for buttons, now an ivy. It seems to be pretty happy, the jar and the plant.

I love when we can repurpose things so they can continue to be used! Red is so fun…I think red is becoming my favorite color. It’s so cheery and fun.

What a neat way to repurpose a cookie jar. Your ivy plant looks beautiful in red. You are so creative.

Nancy Jo, I too, love to repurpose other items as flower pots in my home. So much better than an old clay pot. It looks beautiful there on your coutner. I just found an old white (stoneware) soup tureen at a thrift a couple weeks ago, second one in a year and I unfortunatley, throw away the lids and use the bottom for a house plant. I love the way they look in my home vs a regular pot from the home improvement store. A little more old world, just cozy and homey. I love to use pitchers as well for vases and to hold my cooking utensils. It's fun to think outside of the box. XO

Love your idea, Nancy! I think a pop of red is welcomed almost anywhere in a home. I find it a happy color that lifts up my energy.

Looks good Nancy! I have always loved your posts and all the fun things you find to do.
I look around my house at all the wonderful embroidered treasures you have gifted me and think of you and how generous and kind you are.
Thanks for sharing those treasures with me!
