Cute plant! I have one of these that doesn't do much growing, but doesn't die either. Guess you can't have everything.

kudzukween, So happy that i found this post. I like your idea. May i steal it and create something from nice old chandelier that i rescued from garbage. Lol. What paint did you use for this? Note: I am completely new to garden junk and all "chemistry" around painting, appliing something to make weatherproof, glueing.

Nonacook, Thank You for also sending prayers for my brother and prayers back to you as I remember you recently lost your DH. I Love your gardens and saw the bird feeder on the lamp base. What a cute idea and I just happen to have the ingredients for the recipe :-)Your cabin and garden looked like many good times were enjoyed there. Sorry it no longer exists :-( I looked at your Elephants. I collect'em too and have one like your gray one you have sitting by the amber pole arrangement. I got mine many years ago at a FM in Texas. He has moved with me everywhere and is looking old for sure, but he still sits in front of my house all weathered but still has that sweet look on his face.

I see them advertised for huge prices but I think a more realistic price may be $40.00 to$80.00 , maybe you could consign it to a antique shop and get more, who knows.They are few and far between now just my opinion.
