Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Today I'm showing you a little idea that I got from Ms. Toody Goo Shoes. She made the most adorable little planters, which were used in a gorgeous centerpiece and then given as gift. And that gave me an idea! Go check out her <b><a href="http://mstoodygooshoes.blogspot.com/2014/05/cheap-cheerful-centerpiece.html">planters</a> </b><i>(and while you're there, check out her Nutella Mousse Pie).</i><br /><i><br /></i>So, I had some tiny herbs, that I grew from seed, that I've struggling to keep alive in my windowsill. They were completely in need of a transplant, but all I had were huge window box planters. I did a search of the house and basement, but couldn't find anything suitable, or small enough. As luck would have it I was on the internet and came across Ms. Shoe's centerpiece.<br /><br />That gave me the idea to use seperate cups for the individual herbs (I actually used candle holders) and keep them together on a tray.<br /><br />I grabbed a tray and spray painted it black, and then grabbed the canndle holders.<br /><i><br /></i><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCNSoNvNRUjk2JS2_YWhEqK3LBT8YFtBIQO2KKtZQFxy3JRNgdyq5qyGwAIjImfAM6K2O8fnJjSww5YBUGIhMY9VSBq6FbNHXCV1U88PQlZUZXhS0Hr5MN5hB4mq6g6hHUW_r6wSPkr2E/s1600/potted+herbs+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="planting herbs, how to plant herbs, grow herbs" border="0" height="137" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCNSoNvNRUjk2JS2_YWhEqK3LBT8YFtBIQO2KKtZQFxy3JRNgdyq5qyGwAIjImfAM6K2O8fnJjSww5YBUGIhMY9VSBq6FbNHXCV1U88PQlZUZXhS0Hr5MN5hB4mq6g6hHUW_r6wSPkr2E/s1600/potted+herbs+1.jpg" title="" width="320" /></a></div><i><br /></i><br /><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I planted the basil, cilantro and oregano each into its own candle holder.
