need help looking for something
I need help from all of you ultra-resourceful gals. I'm looking for these hanging plant stands; not these exact ones, but something similar. I've looked everywhere I can think of, and I can't find ones this simple. I keep finding ones with multiple hooks, or ones designed to go in the corner, or ones with 4 parts connected. If any of you guys find anything like this or have seen them somewhere, please let me know!! I want to line the walkway up to the reception doors with them. Thanks!!

How much do you want to spend on each one?
I'll check some garden shops in the area. We also have an iron work shop that could make them.

Thanks for looking!! I'd maybe spend $10-15 dollars on each one (or less obviously if I could get them). I'm not going to need very many of them, maybe ten; I'm going to stagger then along the walkway.

Maroki, I found these at Pier One. They need to be driven into the ground, though.
HTH!

I saw some similar to those at HomeDepot in the garden department in varying heights, and at Lowe's.
Am still looking for the ones that stand on their own.

A rental center in my area carries these. Have you checked with one in your area? They are $7.50 each to rent.

I checked with the rental centers and I haven't found any. I'm not so sure I can stick a bunch of things in the ground; I'm going to the place later in the week so I'll ask them. Thanks for all the looking you've done and help you've given me!! I appreciate it!

So Miss. Picky (soon to be Mrs. Picky) why not those ones??  You want to just give us all a run for our money or what??
I only ask b/c I am being totally defeated here, I can't find what you are looking for ANYWHERE. I'll call my local nursery tomorrow and ask the owner to help me find them & see what he says

 I didn't force you to help me.
And I didn't say I didn't like those in the picture...I would love it if someone found them for me! But I'll take something like them as well, to make the search easier. I'm about ready to give up on the idea.

Girl I appreciate the help. Don't stress about not finding them, I can't find them either.
I've decided the people that used them in the photo welded them themselves out of iron.

I'll have to check out Lowe's and Home Depot. I'm sure FH would love an excuse to go there with me.
Thanks for all your help ladies!

Have you check in the garden area at Walmarts? They have things like this sometimes.

I actually had found some that were $8.00 and went to order them online....and they were sold out!! I keep checking back to see if they have them in, but no such luck so far.
Thanks for the info breezy!

This is bugging me. I know I've seen them somewhere. I am going to a gardening store. I'll see if I can find something similar!!
