Good Day Everyone, really nice day again today, no humidity just sunshine and cool breeze gently blowing, ahhhh, so great.   Decided to do something different with this big ole 15 gallon Red Wing crock I have.  Years ago  a neighbor wondered if I would want it since I love old juck,  as he had put it,  and of course I said why yes,  I would love to take it off your hands,  my heart pounding.     He had said it has a crack, no use to him,   but if I could use it. So I have had this beautiful old crock sitting in the porch with some quilts rolled in it,  time for a change,  I told myself.   Wanted to move it to the living room,well, roll it to the living room, kinda heavy,  and I got it there finally after a few rests in between.    I turned it upside down and thought I would use it as a table beside my antique loveseat, and that is what I did.   Put an old tin hat box, then placed a prim candle on top,  well, it is something different.    I do like it, might try and find a round wood lid that I could use on top of the crock instead of turning it upside down but will leave it for now.   What do you prim gals think????    Wishing you all a good afternoon and evening, Prim Blessings Francine.

  7. I use my 10 gallons this way outside so they don't fill with water and a painted plywood top. I'm not lucky enough to have a 15!

  12. That is very clever! I have one in the garage, I want to bring it back in the house. I have to work on a few areas, and I am, very slowly.
    What a lovely idea.
    Thanks for sharing.
    Have a nice weekend.
    Hugs,
