So my friend Susan is a freelance artist who also works various part-time jobs to supplement her commission income. Currently one of those jobs is at a pottery, and for this past Christmas she made me a really nice flowerpot.

Last month, I asked her to make an accompanying saucer (because it was too nice a pot to keep using an old pickle-jar lid as a makeshift drip catcher), which she did, and we traded money for ceramics when I was in NJ this past weekend.

They are both SO PRETTY, and they go really well together! I'm not entirely sure what to plant in them (I had a narcissus in the pot this winter, but it has now gone back to resting bulb state and would probably do better in a slightly larger pot next time anyway), but I will think of something and it will be beautiful. :D

Lily of the Valley, maybe? The green and white would go well with that gorgeous pot, and it's shade hardy. Really, it's kind of /everything/ hardy. Doesn't usually outgrow its pots, either, just holds in place.
