Your charming coffeepot lady made me laugh. She's really cute. Thanks for sharing!

After reading Twomonths' post to bring the chest inside and having neighbors and a friend tell me to do the same thing, I have unloaded the plants and brought it back inside. I think I'll use it for storing sewing fabric. Oh well, here I go again, now I have to go finish something else that's not been done either. I do appreciate all the great comments on this display though. Wish I had a covered porch, I'd keep it out then. Now I'm really ticked off at myself for throwing out that older, way rusted out chest cause I thought it looked too bad. That would have been perfect and I wouldn't have minded watering the plants and it getting worse. Now I've got more curb shopping to do, yippee!

Thank you everyone! I get teary eyed reading your kind words...I'm such a soft-hearted guy. (Drives people nuts...especially at a tear jerker movie or during Hallmark commercials!!!!) :o) I'm so glad I could share my special project with my GardenWeb Junking friends! You are ALL the BEST! Dad would have loved this forum. Thank you! Bear Hugs! Kirk

Keeps rejecting my pic saying it's too big. I'll try again Julie
