Come on over Woofie!! David, now that you teased us with the story we really need to see a photo!! haha - you don't have to make it your avatar, but you should at the least post it on here!

OK, finally I'm posting photos of my "golden basket" when I picked this thing up at goodwill last year, I was with @Springcolor and she just looked at me trying to be polite and not say anything...don't know if you can see upder the plants and chicken wire that I put on it, there is a lovely spray painted golden angel basket - I guess a merging of Easter and Christmas?? Not sure what the original intent for this item would have been!!!
When taking the photo I thought I'd removed all backround stuff, but my new PC Iris did a "photo bomb so no the yellow flower bud is NOT part of the basket!! Which is now only covered in different types of sedum, no tender anything! (I think there is still a couple semps in the top) I am posting these photos before I really wanted to because I think it needs time to fill in, but this also shows what I did with the chicken wire, following along the top and sides to create a shelf for planting into!

Thanks for the laughs everyone!!
