    I totally remember that post and loved the starfish sitting in front of the clear bottles and the plant in the white pot. I’ve since added a plant to my similar pot and love seeing it each day. Looking forward to seeing more thrifty finds and how you decorate with them in 2023!

      Thank you, Cindy. Sad news…I was decorating a few months ago and broke my pot. I was so upset! Now I’m on the hunt for a new one.
