Check Out My Rare Find From Yesterday

Made a run to the local co-op store here in town yesterday. This blue planter caught my eye. Mainly because I love this shade of "Eeyore" blue. On closer inspection I saw that is was a retro nostalgic planter. I am sure some of you remember seeing these in the past. I almost bought it to go in the garden. But decided I could do without it. I may change my mind later. I really love that blue. Would you have this in your garden? Photo is mine.

Well, it probably would look good in the garden but I could use it when I want to work online without interruptions

Oh goody, I made you laugh ....... now if you think about it, imagine those pioneer women in the 18th century on wagon trains, they'd surly love to have something like this

Oh I just love it! I imagine it filled with some pretty flowers with the blooms cascading down and all around it. A great project for the summer of 2023.

This is such a pretty color, I have never seen one in the past, I suppose they were not popular here.

@CarolDM It is a color that I also like a lot. I had a couple of very busy days. I hope not to have to change the freezer... I cleaned it and turned it on, let's see what happens.

@caroldm it would go a treat in my bathroom, but if any visitor who had a bit loo much to drink saw it it might be full of more than just flowers.

@CarolDM It really is a very nice colour! A happy colour. I probably wouldn't have this in my garden, personally! Only because we do not have a big garden and can't do it up the way I would love to. But it's something I visually enjoy looking at and think it will look pretty in a garden!

This is Eeyore blue. My favorite. I might have to get it. I could plant flowers behind my butterfly bushes and you would only see a tinge of the blue.

It is meant to be a retro potty. But people will buy anything to plant flowers in. Blue is my favorite color.
