Every so often you come across a design that is so basic that you can't believe it's so attractive (OK, so that's a subjective opinion - as Fred pointed out in CD Difference?), but over at the website of ReadyMade, the demised magazine, Kelly, who runs Succulent Love, a company specialising in designs with succulents, gives instructions for a brick patio planter and tealight that I think is charming. You need an old brick and a drill (and, possibly, a burly man on the end of it), but otherwise it couldn't be simpler.
Kelly fell in love with succulents while planning her wedding, and makes surprising use of them in her bridal bouquet . Possibly it works best in Californian sunshine, but it's stylish. If you're looking for inspiration on how to display your own succulents around the house, there are plenty of ideas in her gallery.

Oh how beautiful ... and I love that old bricks (which I personally think are beautiful) get a new life where they are showcased! Thanks so much for sharing! My husband and I were just talking about the fact that so many times folks think in terms of what they can buy ... but when we think outside the box and get creative with found materials, lovely things happen (like these pretty planters). So glad that you linked up on the Meet & Greet ... I adore your site. :-) I'm adding you to my blog roll!
