If you're a plant person who takes small clippings from your thriving plants to turn into new plants, here's a little idea for you.
I used to put my clippings in old jars and cups by a window, and they never really looked great. But, lately I've been picking up pretty glass candle holders from the thrift store and using those instead, which makes the clippings look even prettier than potted plants while I wait for their roots to grow.
One of my favorite spots in our new house is this little window box right above the kitchen sink. It's a perfect spot for plants and delicate things to keep them out of the kids' reach. Plus, being in Minnesota in January, it's really nice to be able to look up while doing dishes and see green plants and colorful glass, rather than the usual brown and white.

I love this little blue one that hangs on it's own stand

Colorful glass bottles work great too, especially for this straight bamboo!

There are so many cool options for your clippings if you think outside of the box! How about some pretty vases, or even wine glasses? So next time you're in the thrift store or at a garage sale, if you're a plant person, be sure to peruse the glass and candle holder aisles...the possibilities are endless!
