Very, Very Cute!!!! When you say you filled the bottoms of peanut packing? Did you mean, peanut packing as the white strofoam peanuts you ship with? If so, how much on the bottom do you put and about how much dirt!!! So, So Cute! -

For starters, I think The Flower Rain Boots are Extremely Adorable!!!! And I'm def. going to try it!!!

These are so cute!! My mother-in-law has a pair of my father-in-law's old work boots filled with chicks and hens which I dearly love. But I have to admit the children's boots filled with impatiens in front of the old wagon seat is simply adorable!! I just love it! Great idea!! -

I have a couple of pairs of firefighter boots, which are already pretty heavy. I'm thinking lots of yellow trailing flowers for them, because of their height. Do you drill holes in the bottom of the boots as well as putting in the stones or popcorn?
