Thank you to those who have donated “cute” flowerpots that I requested for my project of preparing pretty pots of plants for our fall/winter bazaar. I have now been “enlightened” as to how to make ordinary clay pots actually very attractive and so am asking for no- longer-needed clay pots!
I have collected a wonderful variety of colorful fabric scraps, and will be purchasing something called Modge Podge to coat them with to transform them into the pictured “cute” pots. I’m also going to set up a couple dates to join me at church if people want help in creating these gems, once I collect enough of the clay pots. Or, if anyone wants to create them at home, I’m happy to share the supplies. We then can use them for the plants we hope to sell at our fall/winter bazaar or, if we make more than we have plants for, I think they would sell without plants!
It should be fun! Watch for the upcoming “Modge-podging Party” dates!

Update:
There is a plan in the works to have a craft making day sometime in August for anyone to come and help create items for our joint bazaar in late fall with Ten Thousand Villages. Joann Meyer’s suggested project is on “display” in the back hall and there is also a container for clay pots if anyone wants to donate some for that project. There will be other items to make as well, so stay tuned for further details. And all crafty ideas are encouraged and welcomed!
