Mother's Day Display

 
My teacup gardens are displayed on this sweet, two step white washed ladder; Suzette bought from "Girls Gone Junkin'", when they were at The P, one day. You can catch them at Canton.  I stapled a "grow" light fashioned from a bed spring and small light, similar to the ones that go in a Christmas village, to the underneath (top).  Really makes it SHINE OUT, lol.


Each little teacup has a tiny tea stained sign saying...
Tea Cup Garden...and the name of the particular flower or plant...


                                William and I drilled a little hole in the bottom of each cup for drainage...

Also, a larger sign advertises, "Tea Cup Gardens ~ Great for Mother's Day!"


Later on I'll change the sign to, 
"Tea Cup Gardens ~ for the "little" gardener in us all..."



me on Mother's Day with my Five kids...1993
Happy Mother's Day!!!!

 Moma with Jacob, 18 years old, now...

    Love the Tea Cup Gardens! Such a cute idea.. the ladder and all.
    The pictures of you and your kiddos is fantastic-- sad, I was just thinking, I don't have a picture of me and my four kiddos. Just me and them... hmmm...should snap one soon, maybe mother's day.
    Sweet picture of your Momma and Jacob--
    I had the same '90's hair do, Pat

    Love your "teacup gardens"! I put some English Ivy in teacups for a royal wedding watch party favor. I just used odd tea cups w/o saucers but the hole for drainage is a excellent idea! Hum.....I may have to make some more.....
