DIY AGED TERRA COTTA POTS
09/22/2021
It’s the first day of fall! I can officially begin decorating for fall in September without looking like a crazy person. Over the years I have collected quite a few terra cotta pots. I like them but wanted to tone down the orange color this year. I’ve seen the tutorials on using landscaping lime to age pots but didn’t have any on hand and was too impatient to go find it.

Since I work with a lot of seniors in my photography business, I thought it might be fun to share what I’ve learned to help their parents prepare to be the old folks at the college tailgates. WARNING: I do tend to get a bit carried away with a theme. It’s fun for me but totally not necessary. I begin my tailgate planning by...
