April Showers Bring May Flowers...

Well, at least that is how the saying goes.  With all this rain you would have to believe that "April" is never going to end.  So, the Chicks who Pick are attempting to change all of that.  We are hoping that by posting some of our favorite ideas for planting flowers, we will help out the ju-ju and send Mother Nature some good vibes to get that sun shining!!

These are the garden ideas from all over that are inspiring us this Spring...

Tablescapes are always fun to create when you are using fresh flowers and pieces from nature.  These inspirations are from some funky and fresh outdoor weddings that we just loved!  Try using vintage pieces such as Ball jars, antique cake plates, vases and various sized votives to create a great look for your buffet or dinner table.

If it involves tea, tea cups, tea pots....we love it.  Using vintage and old mugs or tea sets are an adorable way to grow your little plants and herbs.

Wagon Flowers! ...enough said.

Yep, this rustic wheelbarrow is the perfect place to nest a garden-chic arrangement.  Have fun planting all sorts of colors and types together in one of these bad boys.  It will be a very eclectic and fabulous addition to your outdoor space.

This great idea is an old mail box converted to a hanging planter box.  We love this look for its rustic appeal and feminine touch.

Ok, we love shoes too!  Get creative with your old boots and shoes.  This great idea incorporates funky spray paint colors and an array of various plants potted in them.  We love how they lined them up on this great shelves.

Throw-back glass wear makes a great home for your indoor flora.  These white pieces are beautiful with the dainty buds they hold.

Good thing they didn't toss this chair to the trash truck.  A screen-like netting provides a place for grass and dirt to live while an assortment of flowers grow through the seat.  How clever!

We love galvanized buckets.  We pretty much use them for anything we can think of, and planting flowers in them is one of the best looks on these normally dull-looking buckets.  Don't be nervous to use ones that look like they've been neglected...they have the most personality.  Wooden milk crates and vintage Coca-Cola carriers also make great boxes to plant your spring time flowers in.

We hope that you have found some of these precious photos as inspiring as we have.  Now, lets all do a "no more rain" dance so that we can all get outside and start planting!!  Happy dancing...

Until next time...

Peace & Love
