I've seen those pottery 'feet' before, but not like that one--it's so cute! Wherever did you find those?

Those little things are the most useful "feet".
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown

Sorry, but those aren't my "feet". Someone else submitted the photo. But they sure are cute!

It was me with the feet. I got them at Kinsman.

They are a bit expensive but the goods are really nice.
