another curb find

19 years ago

I saw a garden or patio heater sitting on the curb...obviously burned out. So I snagged the basket or cover that goes on top. I think I will use it as a trash can in the garden. I am always pulling a weed or pinching a flower and laying on the ground until thru. DH hates that and is always behind me picking up. I told him that it was good for him, that I really do the hardest work. LOL. I need to cover the hole in the bottom (was the top) and I may end up painting it with maybe auto paint.

You always have creative ideas! I love what you're going to do with it! When not using it for weeds, you could place a huge candle in it. I bet it would through off a fascinating light in your garden! I want to go curb shopping with you! I have my dark clothes ready so we won't be spotted at night! Hee hee! What a super find! I want it!!! Thanks for sharing! Kirk
