Window Box Ideas?

[i-said-goddamn.livejournal.com]

Hello all! I hate to ask a question and not even post anything of substance along with it, but I could really use some ideas..I recently moved into a cute little home, with a cute little yard...and a cute little window box. I am no florist. I swear I could kill a fake plant. And I don't really mind bc flowers aren't really my thing..my question is, can anybody help me think of what else I might put in the box to make it as bit less...empty? If I thought I could create metal flowers without them looking like a toddler made them I would consider that, but other than that, no fake flowers, ferns, etc. Just..something that would look nifty in my little box? Thank you in advance..I've never actually had the dilemma of having to decorate the outside of my place, as I've always lived in crummy apartments :)
