well sorry--I saw the prbbles & waht looked like succulents & so I thoguth i t was a tried & true theme. I have used old "worn" dishes before. I once used an old ceramic tea pot that was minus the lid & was cracked around the lid opening. belonged to my Dh's great aunt at one time....

yea i made 1 for my self used the same dish but only had 5 plants in it very spaced out n leaves kept falling off the plants but i think i also watered them too much. after i made my 1st 1 i made 1 for my mom for mothers day same idea only had like 4 plants in it. then i went to a different store that had a much bigger selection of succulents n decided to remake mine n with the extra plants i had mom decided to remake hers too. now that i put more plants in mine and watered it less it looks much better. i could make tons of these.
