when mother nature calls...

...several months ago, I'm thinking January, before I had my first surgery of this year, hubby took me out thrifting.  I came across this odd looking ceramic container with one handle.  It was in the garden section and even marked 'garden decor.'  I thought it quite unusual and mulled over all the possibilities it would hold.
as I checked it over I realized that it had three separate pieces and it was becoming more mysterious to me as to what they were.

It was pristine clean and I had no problem setting it on the edge of my desk/counter for a few days while I pondered what to plant in it.

then one afternoon my son came by and as son's often do he chuckled when he saw it and asked me in a completely astonished voice, "why do you have a chamber pot sitting on the end of your counter?"   O.K.  well then I guess there really is no reason not to use it as a planter.

    A perfect receptacle for your flowers, look at the embossed pattern. Wow, I wonder how old this is?

    I was thinking to myself it looked like a chamber pot before I read what your son said. Of course it makes a great planter, and if times call for it, your planter can again become a chamber pot ! Dual purpose planter, a bargain.

    Ha ha..well now according old Irish sayings, you cannot be considered poor... when you are really poor you don't even have a pot to pee in.

    Well i have an old chamber pot in the antique potty chair but it's very plain[German] and has no lid, so I thought this might be a pot pourri pot but I didn't realize how large it is!
    It makes a lovely planter, enjoy!
