I have to give these people credit for adaptive reuse of discarded goods.
About two years ago, a couple local garden centers had in their statuary
sections recycled bathroom sinks of various kinds to use as planters or
birdbaths. I found this use of vintage sinks appealing, but when I made
noises about finding an old sink for the purpose more cheaply from
someplace like Cap'n Sam's recycled construction, Granny Artemis said it
was just too close to using a toilet as a planter, & she wouldn't have it.

When one comes to think of it, a diamond is just a rock, but when
cleaned, polished and mounted tastefully, it can be a thing of
beauty.. and a good conversation piece.
I don't have a big diamond, nor a toilet planter, but I do have, on my
coffee table, several pieces of petrified wood, which after 40 years
in the garden, I brought in fearing they would continue degrading in
the garden.
I suppose there are folks who think I am a little, shall we say
"excentric ???" , but that's Ok.. those who know me and know how much
I love the creations of Nature, accept them and do admit they are
interesting and a good "conversation Piece!"
