Spontaneous Succulent Wire Baskets

It happened so fast. I had to make a drop off at the thrift store. Of course I had to go in. No, I actually had to. I promised I would pick up baskets for auction items and there they were- tiny wire baskets.

If it hadn't been such a very long winter...
If they hadn't been only 69 cents...
If I hadn't already had on hand succulents that needed dividing and...
potting soil and....
burlap....
the this wouldn't have just happened today:

Succulent 

Tender succulents

The largest tea kettle has hens-n-chicks in it and I plan on filling the top with more hardy sedums once I have access to those growing outdoors already. The plan is to hang them...somewhere...from wire...once frost has cleared.

Spontaneous.
Just add water.

Such a great idea! I've got burlap. And a wire hanging basket that needs a liner. I thought I'd have to buy one of those cheap, brown, mossy-looking liners. But now I'll just use burlap. (And I think I'll find a reason to go to my local thrift store and look for some more wire baskets.) Thanks for your spontaneity.

Thanks Pam! I hope you have fun and your basket turns out well. We have to be creative in winters like these!
