Welcome Rebecca -so glad you found me. I love the sweet potato vine too – there is a darker one called “Blackie” that I use too. The pussy willow idea sounds stunning. I always take my camera with me when I go to nurseries and take pictures of their pots – get lots of great ideas that way. Come back and visit often.

New to your blog and LOVE it! Just added it to my Google Reader. Love your pots. One of my favorite “spillers” is the sweet potato. It’s a beautiful bright lime green color with bold leaves.
Another pot idea that I’ve got tucked away in my memory bank for a special occasion is: pussy willows tall in the center of the pot surrounded by yellow daffodils, surrounded by yellow pansies, and vinca as a spiller. This caught my eye at our local nursery a couple years ago, and I thought it would be gorgeous for a reception or spring celebration.

Thank you for sharing your inspiring life. I love getting ideas on home and organization!

Robyn,

Good luck with your planting and I can’t wait to see a picture of it when it is done! Thanks for sharing.

Perfect timing on the pots. Each year we have been doing a little more to our yard – to make it look nicer and add more plants. It’s tough – i’d prefer to hire someone to do it so it looks beautiful immediately, but that would break the bank. This year we are adding another round to the front yard – curb appeal is always good. I bought a big cedar potter (like the whiskey barrels but made of cedar) and have been thinking of how to plant it. So now I know – thriller, filler, and spiller! Once I get it potted I’ll take a picture and share it. Although we have family in town today through Sunday, so it won’t be till next week.
