stumped

this is so cool - found this yesterday cleaning out some old storage sheds - it is huge - measures about 24" long by 19" wide and very thick - about 4". it is real wood and appears to be a slice of an old tree - someone chopped out the center and then screwed and nailed a section of sheet metal onto the bottom. it has the original bark and is/was filled with various rocks and shells - it had dirt/soil in it but i emptied that out and put the rocks and seashells back in - i think they might have used it to plant a cactus garden - i think - i am not a cactus person, so am not sure how i will use it - i think if i decide to keep it - i will just take all the rocks and seashells out and wax it and clean it real good and use it as a tray of sorts on my living room ottoman - not sure if i am going to keep it or sell it.


i also found a stack of old bibles -

an old bottlecap man - holding a tin jello mold -

a box of clothes that included the cutest little childs crocheted outfit in lavender with cream color 'bunny' buttons.

had fun - but i was filthy dirty - and the dust mask i wore didn't seem to do that much good because today i am feeling stuffed up.

hope everyone had a good weekend and enjoyed themselves - i am so looking forward to the sun shiny days.
