Hanging Flower Pots (photo from Amazon.com). These get such poor reviews, but don’t they look pretty in their picture? (Or you can spend twice as much and buy the same thing handmade! by an artist! on Etsy! This is the sort of reason I’ve been doing fewer Etsy-related posts.)

Sonia Ceramix Planter (photo from Amazon.com). I like the color, and I also like the row of beading.

Ladybug Planter (photo from Amazon.com). Cute and creative? or disturbingly reminiscent of that little boy in Toy Story who took apart his toys and put the parts together weird? Your call.

Fiesta Turquoise Flower Pot With Saucer (photo from Amazon.com). I didn’t know Fiesta made flower pots! Wouldn’t it be fun to have a little display of them in different colors, maybe even as a centerpiece thing, a little row of them down the middle of the table in the same colors as the dishes? I like the turquoise and also shamrock, tangerine, plum—so pretty!

Triple Herb Pots (photo from Pier1.com). Ooo, pretty. Though I think this is not so much a “triple pot” as “one long wavy pot.”

Small Aged Herb Pot (photo from Anthropologie.com). My first impression of this was that it was NOT a lovely flower pot—but when I imagined a sweet little plant in it, I started to see its charm. There are several sizes and shapes available.

Sierra Planter (photo from Amazon.com). I assume the list price is a joke mistake, but at the actual selling price I like the look of it.

Instapark Flower Power Color Changing LED Pot (photo from Amazon.com). This is eleven kinds of battery-sapping tacky awesomeness.
I love Fiesta! I might have to check those out.

That Etsy/Amazon thing is so weird! I’ve never seen that before. It’s literally the exact same picture! How strange.

‘Report this item to Etsy.’
Done.

I LOVE flower pots - and we can’t really grow anything on our patio. Boo hiss.
And yeah - I reported that whole shop you linked to. Nothing on there is handmade or vintage or crafting supplies, etc. Cheater cheater pumpkin eater.
