Another Lucky Score!

As I brought my kids out to the car this morning to take them to music class, I saw a few things by the garbage bins at the end of our shared driveway.  Yes, that's right, my neighbour put out this old ashtray stand.  Like a magpie with a penchant for brass, I grabbed it, stashed it in our front porch, and went back to buckling the kids in.

When I came home again I saw it was quite scratched and worn, and was missing the ashtray inset.  No matter, I wiped the dust off and plunked in a plant.  The plate I had underneath fit absolutely perfectly.  Perhaps one day I will polish it and see how it turns out, but for now I am happy with my new plant stand!

They say good things come in three's - I am super excited to see what the garbage gods bring next!
