Vintage Dashund Planter

They’re too cute to throw away, but too small to use for plants or they don’t have a drainage hole. So what can you do with a collection of vintage planters?

Here are some ideas from Martha Stewart and ebay user bloomingale54:

• business card holder
• pen and pencil holder
• paint brush holder
• fill with candy or small gifts and wrap with clear wrap for a lovely and quick gift
• use in the bathroom to hold hair clips, guest soaps,seashells or marbles
• use in the bedroom as a tray to hold change, keys or other contents of your pockets
• use to hold jewelry
• on your tea tray to hold sugar lumps, napkins,tea bags or cups
• at the kitchen sink to hold scrubbers, dish and hand soap, or bottle and vegetable brushes
• at your desk to hold paper and binder clips, pens and pencils, notepaper, and even the stapler and hole punch

To clean these beauties, always hand wash using a gentle scrubber and a product like Bon Ami to remove mineral deposits and water stains. Use a steel scrubber very gently to remove the most stubborn stains.
