There is something about the Tripod Planter from Chiasso that just speaks to me. It’s made out of steel and designed to weather the elements outdoors year round. Off course, that doesn’t mean you couldn’t bring it inside also. It’s 19 inches high, 12 inches in diameter and available now for $148 at Chiasso.com

First, my apologies for going missing from Columbia County Current. The fact is, I’ve been out of the county for a while and as such, didn’t have anything to blog about.
I’m finally back in the county and on the blog and ready to go. I’m also ready for Spring. Don’t get me wrong, I love the winter – it’s one of the reasons we moved to Columbia County – but I’m ready for some warmer temperatures and a little color in our surroundings.
What about you?
Foo Dogs keep popping up in stores all over the place. Williams Sonoma has an incredible pair of Foo Dog lamps and we just found a set of white ceramic Foo Dogs at Z Gallerie.
They are ceramic and 13″ tall so they will make a dramatic statement wherever you place them. It looks like they are sold in a set of two for $88.90, which is a great deal. Click here to buy.
