Flowers in an old cast iron sink...
Monica's brother gave me this sink.
.......He's a plumber.
Every once and while they'll come across these cute old case iron sinks. They pull them out of house/bath remodels.
Monica and I think they are little jewels!
It's HEAVY!
Milton sit it on my sewing machine stand...
It has it's own 'drain' hole...
GREAT for flower growing!














I love it. Wonder if I can find one somewhere.

Hey that's a great idea. And it is recycling old stuff for new purpose.

Tina,
I want one!!!! How cute is that and a new use for those machine bases---meant to be!!! So glad it wasn't a toilet. You DON'T have one do you???
Glad you are back posting again and hope you had a wonderful time at Canton. Soooooo hot tho! I so much enjoyed Kathy's house, saw so new ideas for me-loved the old tubs as tables.
Have a great day.

Tina I have the sink I grew up with in my
backyard with flowers in it. I never thought
of putting it on my machine base. Thanks for
the idea. I also have a white enamel drinking fountain that my Daddy had hooked
up in his backyard and I have flowers in it
too. I love unusual item to grow flowers in.
Hope you didn't get too hot in Canton and I
hope you had fun and didn't work to hard....rest now.":O)
