OK, enabler alert again, sorry ladies. Called in at The Works (again) at the weekend, and they have loads of assorted Papier Mache boxes in there, and these awesome little drawer boxes.
A few weeks ago, I posted a picture of a planter I'd done, (another poundstore bargain, stacking planters). Everything in it has gone a bit mad:
Just Petunias & lobelias, and a Fuchsia in the top. I shall be looking to get some more next year, when they have them back. They're really good-this pic is a larger version that I've filled with herb seeds. Its got four sections, the one with the flowers in has three. They just stack one on top of another, so you can layer it as tall as you want.
Another garden shot, its an Elderberry, a black-leaved version (now theres a surprise, from me)- the flowers are a lovely pink colour, instead of the usual creamy white.
So thats me done, fairly short & sweet. Have a really good week all.

What a fab idea those planters are! Really effective and they use a lot less compost, I should imagine. Anyway, you've obviously got green fingers because the plants look really happy! I'm very late planting mine out this year so they're looking a bit bedraggled at the moment..they'll pick up though!
I'm really glad that the night shift is going so well for you....I still don't know how you do it though!!
Ad I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with those little drawers :-)

Lots of lovely pics this week, Shaz, and all those plants looking so healthy. In answer to your query about techland, not sure how things are at the moment. I need the time to get upstairs and sort out my craft computer to work in line with Doug's insatructions, but as you can see from my photos, crafting is sort of limited to providing sustenance for my two builders, Lee and Adie. They are working hard, so they deserve it. I might try some drawing though as I can do that anywhere. Have a good week. xx Maggie #3 (I woke up 17 seconds after Julia put the link up - good timing!)
OIh dear - I have to be in town later in the week, they have a The Works there, and those boxes ARE cute..
{sigh}
WOYWW is dangerous....
Happy WOYWW!

I do love The Works, we don't have one here but there is one in Bath so when we visit there we pop in. Great finds and beautiful pictures. Take care Zo xx 69
We saw those little boxes in The Works, didn't buy them and now wish we had, maybe we'll take a trip back there.
Waving hi from The House of Bears @#92 this week
Hi Shaz. If they don't have those drawers in my local Works I may have to cry! Your elderberry is looking gorgeous - we left one behind at our old house and the one we planted here is VERY slow to grow so I'm afraid I've got elder envy! Have a great week. MMx #47
I really like your planters! I also scrolled down and saw all the pretty butterflies you made! They are lovely!
I keep forgetting to add my number this week :S It is Uniflame - 70 :)
Those little drawers were a good find in the works!!
Your Planters look lovely and full of flowers
The butterfly stamp is really nice I like Stampin up products they are areally good quality

I want those drawers, could décopatch them lovely.
Sorry I'm a bit late replying but my son had his drum exam this morning, glad that is over now. Thanks for stopping by this week BJ#13
I have got to find a Works near me...I love those drawer boxes. Your planters are looking beautiful. Hugs. Pam#27
Love the busy desk, Shaz, and what gorgeous flowers. That stacking planter is a cool idea - must look out for something like that for the balcony outside my new ARTHaven. So glad you like my new space - keep an eye out on my blog for more photos.
Thank you for your good wishes for my upcoming test - I am trying not to worry as they say only 1 in 10 have cancer but it's still a big worry. More news next week, I hope.
Happy WOYWW,

Such a fun post! My desk is never as witty as yours! Thanks for popping by and seeing it! LOVE that elderberry! Adore your beautiful butterfly cards too! Happy WOYWW! #34
Loved the tags you made with the stash now on your desk. pretty flowers and a cat to steal! Worth being sent to the colonies!
WOW Shaz love the look of your desk and the way that garden planter is coming along...it is definitely spectacular! Just learned about Elderberry! I actually was wondering what one looked like as I drank my juice earlier!!!! On my vacation I picked up a bottle off Elderberry juice that is suppose to be a great cure all for all sorts of issues and decided to give it a try. We will see! Love the look of your Elderberry bush/tree. Beautiful! Hope you have a great week and thanks for visiting my desk and leaving a message. Vickie #93
Where do you get time Mrs? Loving the planters..funnily enough we were at a house on Friday and saturday putting in new windows and the nicest part of her FAB garden was the plated up herb garden..loads of little pots shoved in a bigger pot - looked and smelled fab.
NOOOOO!!!! I can't get into Town and we have a The Works....oh NOOOOO
Thanks for visiting my Desk by the way

Those stacking planters look fantastic and all those beautiful flowers the bounty from the garden. From what i can see you have a very lovely garden and a very enticing desk.

Cook planters and loving the butterflies! Thank you for visiting me and have a fabulous week xx#67
Gorgeous flowers and plants. But I have to say the butterfly is amazing. I had a quick peek at your earlier projects and they are all stunning.

I love looking at your desk. You can definitely tell that a lot of great things happen there. I am going to have to look for those planters. I really like the way they look. Thank you for sharing. Ginny (#24)
NEED those drawers! Pity the Works is a 60 mile round trip for me!
Your plants are looking good too.
Hugs

The butterfly tags came out great, such a nice color, and one that I never think to use. Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by. Barb #11

I cant wait to see what you do with that box of drawers. Love that easel
Bridget #85
Brilliant idea with the planter, I too went in The Works today and saw the little drawers too (so cute).
Love the black elder, you can make pink elderflower cordial from it!!
Happy belated WOYWW

Love the planters I've been painting mine all the same colour. Why haven't I got 'The Works' near me, I LOVE those little drawers, soooo useful! I wonder what you'll do with them, that's always hard to work out for me, coz as soon as I start one idea, another will pop into my head!! Happy WOYWW
