I'm very chatty today for some reason.

I mostly have plastic pots as well for mostly the same reasons plus needed to bring everything inside a few times a year for tropical storms and hurricanes. I try to keep most of mine small for the same reason. I'll probably replace the large cracked pot with a square one with wheels that I have two of already. Similar surface size and easier to move. I'm thinking of putting the rose bush in a half barrel. If the hardware store doesn't have any with the wheels on in stock, we'll just buy some wheels to put on ourselves. I may also invest in some stakes to try and pull the rosebush back upright.

My only plants in nice pots are 2 of my amaryllis and those pots were an impulse purchase. Oh! And the bromiliad in the elephant pot I got for a steal at the bulk club warehouse.

That particular home goods store moves through seasons quickly. Usually they've got two or three aisles worth of Christmas this time of year instead of the full Christmas spread. (Roughly the quarter of the store that's seasonal merchandise.) As someone who keeps the same unbreakable ornaments from one year to the next I have to admit I don't understand people who buy a whole themed tree's worth of decorations every year. When I got married I started collecting ornaments on trips. I have several nice ones from our honeymoon and picked up loads when we went to Ireland last year.
