Now this was a project I’d been wanting to do for a while!
My husband is a trash to treasure kind of guy. He finds the most amazing things. Usually a trash or “dumpster dive” as we like to call them goes like this…
Brian: Hey, did you see that?
Me: Yeah, I don’t think they are actually throwing it away. I think they just put it next to the curb to paint or something.
Brian: No way – that is definitely in the trash.
Me: (As we pass it) Do you really think so?
Brian: Yup. Want me to turn around?
Me: Nope.
A few blocks later….
Me: Hey, do you think they were really throwing that away?
Brian: Yup.
Me: Can we turn around and you ask them if they are really throwing that away?
Brian: Yup.

The fountain wasn’t working anymore, so Brian snipped off the cord for me.
Rocks, dirt and succulents later – voila!
Right now, it greets me as I walk out of the front door. Pretty soon, I’ll have to move it inside so that it doesn’t catch on fire in the 120 degree heat – but I won’t mind having this handsome guy inside with me!
Have a great Friday!
