Potted Ferns

I've been potting up a few ferns this weekend.  

  I saw this idea at a local flea market a few weeks ago and was tempted to buy a couple, until I realized I could make them myself.  I already had the faux ferns ~ all I needed was the peat pots. 

  I smudged some dark wax on the peat pots to make them appear older.  Then I filled each pot with a chunk of oasis and topped it with moss from the yard.  Lastly, I arranged a few fronds of each kind of fern in the pots and ended up with a lovely collection of potted ferns. 

 I originally made them to sell, but after arranging this table vignette, I have fallen in love with them and want to keep them.  Isn't that the way it always is? 

 Rust and green just seem to go together.    I found this little tray at Hobby Lobby and added a few touches of green paint and then a layer of dark wax and now it looks old too. 

 

 I think I'll sell a few and keep a few.
