Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Today's vintage find makes the perfect hanging basket for these coral impatiens...

...and there is nothing I like better than repurposing one of my thrifted treasures for the garden! This rustic metal basket is collapsible and was originally used for gathering eggs.

As soon as I picked it up, I knew it would make a unique hanging basket. I spread moss in the very bottom. Next I added a coco liner to hold the flowers...

...and found a shady spot for my "new" basket of impatiens!

Until next time, happy hunting!

MY HEARTFELT THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING FOR FEATURING THIS POST:
Cute idea Cecilia ... will be interesting to see how quickly they grow out through the top opening.
