A wearable planter

March 15, 2011 by Andrea Bellamy 3 Comments

It’s been a little quiet here at Heavy Petal, which is pretty much the opposite of the rest of my life right now.

Where have I been? Not in the garden, that’s for sure! But I have been having fun promoting my book all over the Pacific Northwest. I spoke in Seattle at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show, which was great fun. Then I spoke at Powell’s Books in Portland, which was so exciting (Sugar Snaps was in the front window!) and showed the host of AM Northwest how to make seed balls. Then I headed to Eugene to speak at the Lane County Home and Garden Show, which was a total blast. I’ve got other upcoming events as well.

All this to show you the wearable planter my husband got me as a “happy book tour” gift. I’m using it more like a vase, but it could also be planted up. Looks like ceramic, right? Guess what? It’s resin – painted and finished by hand.

The wearable planter is available in various shapes and colours in made by colleen’s Etsy shop.

    Adorable! Or you can use it for shots of bourbon on the go!
