A Happy Chalkboard Discovery

Leigh and I started the Whole 30 eating plan in January and Leigh decided that we needed a mint plant to use in our cooking now and to flavor our water. So being the best Mom ever......except for my Mom, of course.....I rushed out and got one for her. I've slowly been replacing all the pots on our patio with terracotta and just love the brownish ones that Wally World has had for the past several years.

So last night, we finally got around to potting it up and I had a lightbulb moment! I grabbed a piece of chalk and look what happened -

 Terracotta is the perfect chalkboard! Wipes right off and takes the chalk perfectly! 

No painting necessary.

Leigh's little gnome looks right at home and just like it was "Mint 2 B". LOL! Seriously though, isn't it adorable and he looks right at home lounging around under the mint. Now all the pots on the patio are going to be sporting a chalkboard quote of some kind since chalkboard is my latest obsession. And the best thing about this is that didn't cost a thing to turn it into one!

Hoping everyone is having a very wonderful week! We're halfway there!
