Painted Herb Pots

Aren't these herb pots the cutest! I've seen them for sale in places, but it's MUCH cheaper to make. I bought these terracotta pots at a craft store and the black chalkboard paint at Lowes. I painted the rims of the pots as well as a rectangle in the center of the pot. I used tape to outline the rectangle so it would be clean and sharp.

When I got home yesterday, I found these herbs in my carport that my mother-in-law left for me. I got dirty today and transplanted them into my little pots. These are perfect to sit inside my kitchen window sill since it's too cold outside for them to live. It will save me lots of money because fresh herbs are pretty expensive in the grocery store, and I love cooking with fresh herbs.

Maryanna - I had not checked your blog in a while and I really enjoyed seeing all the cute things you are making. Also loved the photo of sweet Meredith. Tell her I still think of her when I see the candlesticks she gave me. Take care. Miss Janet
