HGTV Gardens {Sifter Planter Photo Excitement}
A few weeks ago, HGTV contacted me to let me know that my simple Instagram photo with my Iphone5 of my Flour Sifter Turned into a Flower Planter was selected for the running in the #LoveHome campaign. I had to give permission for it be used if it was selected. I gladly gave that permission! I never win anything….never even bought a lottery ticket.
Today, I received a sweet congratulations email from HGTV Online letting me know that it had been selected out of 90,000 entries! It's just a little something for the girl who never wins anything, but it made my day!!!

Here it is! Simple, huh!
I found this vintage Bromwell's flour sifter in an antique store while on spring break in Southport, NC for $6. I didn't invent this. I've seen it around online, but I love its simplicity.
The sifter has built-in mesh, but I wanted a little extra staying power for the potting soil. I simply cut a few pieces of screen to work around the inside. Then I filled it with potting soil and a petunia! Quite simple!
I hope this has inspired you to think outside the box when planting your spring and summer flowers.
