Repotting Violets

What do you do when a favorite houseplant oversteps its boundaries, yet you don’t have new pots waiting? You look around the kitchen for something that will do! I was almost out of green tea from this canister, which Mike brought back with him from Japan. The only thing I had to do was punch some small holes in the bottom using a nail. I’m surprised at how stylish the african violet looks in something I would have otherwise recycled!

Pretty! The violets and the Japanese container really do complement each other.
