This month's theme for 10 on the 10th is Gardening. This is where we spend under $10 related to the theme. This is also a blog hop so I hope you will visit the bloggers at the bottom of this post!
I am not much of a gardener, but I do like planting herbs. I found this Mackenzie-Childs creamer a few years ago at a thrift shop for $5. It has a small chip on the bottom and each year I have planted an herb in it and sat it out on my patio.
The varnish and stain on the wood handle has been stripped by the weather:
I used Old English Scratch Cover and re-stained the handle:
This only took a few minutes and then I applied some varnish to protect the wood!
The rosemary plant was only $2.99 at Trader Joes:
This quick little project cost me less than $10 and I will have fresh rosemary all summer!
Here's a recipe for delicious Rosemary Chicken Breasts

Patti what a cute idea! I love how you repurposed the beautiful little cup. And who doesn't love fresh herbs! LOVE this. Gonna have to go thrifting soon to see if I can come up with some fun herb containers!
ReplyDeletePlanting herbs in a thrifted kitchen container is a great idea. Inexpensive, quick and easy gardening!
ReplyDeleteGreat refresh Patti! I love having fresh rosemary on hand, and it is one of the things I can grow 😂 I hope you had a lovely Mother's Day!

You have so many beautiful McKenzie Childs pieces. This is adorable, I love it!
ReplyDeleteLove your teapot you found, great price too. I use Old English all the time, I love the stuff. I don't plant herbs, but loving the look of your little teapot and rosemary. I might just have to start to create the look like yours. Love it Patti.
ReplyDeleteLove your planter and herb. I have some new Rosemary growing and it's really trying to SQUAT on me! LOL! Guess I need to give it a little more tender love and care. Thanks for sharing. I love this 10 for 10. I need to hop on this one of these days. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find and upcycle, Patti. I love growing fresh herbs for cooking and this container is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute pot, Patti!! I do like MacKenzie-Childs tableware and their boat in NY Harbor is really cool! (If you have never seen it, and I liked their Victorian home before that.) I love rosemary, too, and have two plants to get into pots (the last of my spring planting). Great project for this month's $10 challenge. <3
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and it was fun hopping with you again,
Hugs,
Barb :)
Such a delightful find with the little pitcher. Great way to enjoy it and have fresh basil. Happy week.
ReplyDeleteClever idea! Always fun to find a little MC treasure and repurpose it for the garden. We enjoy cooking with rosemary and will try your recipe. Thanks!
