Well, my new creations are ready for their big debut!....first here is the inspiration photo from Pottery Barn. The first thing I thought when I saw this room was 'I need more plants in my house!'...then ...when I looked closer....
that was it... I was off to the workshop! Some things just happen that way don't they?...you see something and your whole day is completely changed!
I made two....one large size for a 6.5 inch flower pot, one smaller for a 4.5 inch flower pot...
(the large one measures 24"x16" and extends out 9"~ smaller one measures 19"x11" and extends out 6"....they are made nice and sturdy to hold a flower pot filled with dirt & flowers and I'll be shipping them with the shelf unattached, you'll just need to screw in the included screws in the predrilled holes to attach the shelf)I'm so pleased with how they came out... I think they are perfect for the front porch...on the deck...in the kitchen with herbs... in the bathroom with lavender....just about anywhere!
They are pretty just plain old chippy white but of course I don't plan on leaving them like that...you know me better than that!
But what to put on them???? I began to realize the possibilities were endless...
a number?
gorgeous french text?
awesome Italian text??there was no way I could choose one....so the only solution is to let the customer choose...
(click on this to enlarge the photo and see them close up)
oh what fun I had playing with all the different possibilities!
So that's how I'll be listing it...as a 'custom ~ choose your own text' item. You'll also get to decide if you'd like more chipping/distressing on it...right now they have 'medium' distressing.
Okay...let's get to the giveaway part!
I'm giving away the smaller one of these to one lucky winner, and you'll get to choose what you'd like on it for text/image. To be entered, simply leave a comment on this post, that will give you one chance....blog about this giveaway or add a sidebar button on your blog, that will give you two chances to win (be sure to come back and comment that you did that so your name is in the hat again). It's open to the US & Canada and will end on Wednesday, Feburary 23rd...sometime in the evening I'll get a winner via random.org.
Good luck to all & thank you for stopping by ...your freindship is such a treasure!
ps...the larger one is listed in my etsy shop!
pss...even if you've won one of my giveaways in the past...you're still included! :)

I have been drooling over those pictures from pottery barn since I first saw them, so I would love for a chance to win one of your planters.
These are seriously beautiful! Running to my blog to post about this!
This is beautiful and would be perfect for my about to be painted in the next month, lol, studio. Actually, funny thing is, I received my Pottery Barn catalog and did see the picture above and actually think of it in my "to be studio". The walls will be beauitful Victorian Mauve, a cool, neutral gray tone mauve. Molding, furniture white! This with a cascading leafy plant would be awesome. Thank you for your talent and generous give-away.
This is great! Very creative. Thanks for the giveaway!

these are gorgeous! thank you for the giveaway!
Wow, would I love to have one of those, count me in. I found you over at Barbara Jean's blog. Beautiful.
Love your blog and creativity Paula! Those wall planters are wonderful, and sure would look nice on my front porch - or my kitchen - or my bedroom. Oh heck, I would LOVE one in every room, AND front porch!
Thanks for sharing.
So I decided to actually sit down today and catch up on my blog reading. I stumbled upon this one through Barbara Jean's blog and see you have a giveaway! Ooooooo....I've never actually won anything. Seems like I enter a lot of contests but to no avail. So here I am again, entering and hoping to actually win this time. I grabbed your blog button and posted it on my two blogs. I've also favorited your Etsy shop (I also have two Etsy shops) and I'm crossing my fingers :D You have a beautiful blog and Etsy shop. I love the french inspired signs. Just love them! I would be so excited to hang one of these on my home.
You KNOW I love your signs...and when I saw the planter sign I just had to have the larger one. Now perhaps it will be joined by the smaller one if I win your fabulous GIVEAWAY ;-)
Just blogged about your GIVEAWAY. Enter me a second time {I really want one of these....lol!}. xo, Cheryl
Paula, you are so so talented! Pottery Barn should see yours . . . they just might hire you! Of course, you know I want one and I was thrilled to see you used "Welcome to our Nest" on one just like the sign you made for me. Love it. I'll be right back after I post about your give away on my blog.
Okay,here I am again. You are now on my blog. Please enter me again. Thanks.

Thank you for the second chance. I have been a bit under the weather and am starting to feel better now. I was thankful for the second chance but of course this sent me to your etsy shop where I fell IN LOVE with everything!!!! I can not wait for my tax return. I want a few of those signs. I think though you should show us how to make those curtains as well cuz they are adorable!!!
LOVE this! You are so talented!
Thanks,

You did great. Those hanging plants/ flowers are great to hang in a sun room. They add beauty and the direct heat of the sun will give the plant more radiance.
