Petal Pusher: Small Planters with a Punch!

I just saw my Planter story in Denver's city magazine, 5280. I loved this story when it was pitched to me: a fun roundup of garden planters that are great for a small terrace, outdoor console, or even in your house. I can think of a thousand ways I'd put my planters to use sans fleurs-- a cute ceramic crock for cooking utensils, displayed on a book shelf, a great catch-all for keys, etc in your entry way, even lined along a buffet to stash napkins and flatware during a dinner party.
