The doilies she made and the fantastic bedspreads were artwork extraordinaire. That said, I only have one thing she created, a covered coat hanger. And I cherish it.<br /><br />What a good thing you showed me the mallow, I'm not familiar with the plant and now I'll know to steer clear of it...I just do NOT need another invasive anything in this silly garden of mine. Years ago we were given (SIGH!) a handful of Creeping Charlie when we first started gardening because I told the nursery owner I just wanted something I could plant in flagstones that could take foot traffic. The flagstone paths are long gone but Charlie is making his way across the property. I am Sick about this invasion with a Capital S. The Naughty Nursery Owner is now selling vacuum cleaners door-to-door....how I wish he'd come here, I'd make him deal with this horrible weed.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-30273844694511243562011-07-20T10:52:11.400-04:002011-07-20T10:52:11.400-04:00Zoey, I have a couple of the crocheted hangers but...Zoey, I have a couple of the crocheted hangers but they are newer ones because they are done on plastic hangers.<br />I love you pot in the old milk can.

It is planted with Guara, a perennial that should be shooting out long pink-flowered stems soon. I will do a post to show it when it happens.<br /><br />ZoeyDiana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-16956768540896653112011-07-20T07:03:40.367-04:002011-07-20T07:03:40.367-04:00The buried pot looks great.

This makes me want to try it again with different materials.

I find things that can overwinter in their pots. We'll see what does this year.
