    I also found a few rust-free things at nicer junque shops.

    The Chalice/planter? just because it was cool looking, the clock will go in the 'door shed' we are designing and building as our summer project and the nozzle will be attached to a hose on one of the rain barrels...

    The milk bottles like we used to get at school for a craft project idea I saw, the sugar mold makes a fantastic holder for votive candles, the small cream bottles just because they are so cute and the door knob set is for the first door we make for my shed....

    Oh!! I can think of all sorts of uses for the nozzle. I will try to contain my excitement till you come up with a use for it. You find all sorts of good stuff!!

    This is a nozzle we found at a thrift store about three years ago, it's on a hose that is attached to the spigot at the bottom of the rain barrel. It makes pouring water into a pot or pitcher so much easier.

    The new nozzle in the previous photo will be attached to another rain barrel and eventually as we find the old ones (which are sooo much cheaper than buying new) all the rain barrels will be fitted with one.

    that is wonderful. I love to recycle. You are good at it, Toni. I just do it once in a while because I don't have such a big imagination.:rolleyes:
