Painted Pots

 Hi all -

I hope everyone is doing well! In this post, I'm sharing the flower pots that my family painted for me. I just got back from visiting them for a week and while I was there they had a painting party and worked on these pots. I didn't join in the painting because I wanted stuff that they had made and because I really don't need another hobby! I told them to paint whatever their hearts desired.

The first pot was painted by my niece, Kelsey. She is pregnant and I was in town for her gender reveal party. Spoiler -- It's a girl! She painted a pot representing her family.

Charli is their dog, who is definitely a member of the family!

The second pot was painted by my nephew's wife, Liz. They had beautiful baby Adeline at the end of October. She put paint on Adeline's hands and stamped hand prints around the sides of the pot then added cacti.

She also painted a sweet message on the bottom of the pot.

Note - "Untie" is not misspelled.

My sisters worked on the larger pots. Sue painted a fairy house on one side and a cactus on the other.

Sue has been painting rocks the longest and has learned some really cool techniques!

My other sister, Linda, painted modern flowers and lots of dots on her pot.

I love the texture that the light coat of yellow in the background creates! She also painted dots around the rim and painted the plate underneath.

I love the dots and really appreciate the time and patience she put into putting all of them on. I definitely wouldn't have had that patience!

I really love all of the pots that they made! I plan to go down next week to find some lovely plants to put in the pots. I'm going to love looking at these on my deck all summer!!
