When I say that I have "too much stuff," I mean it! Blogging continues to be too much effort at this time. Thanks to my food friend Silverfiddle for taking up the slack here during my absence.
In the process of The Big Clean Out in preparation for our move to Indiana (move date not yet determined), former blogger The Merry Widow and I found the ultimate family heirloom in the cellar crawlspace of this old house, which has been in my family since 1947:
Yes, I know to whom this treasure belonged: my great-grandfather, who died in Tennessee in the 1930's or 1940's after being bedridden for some ten years after a stroke. Apparently, this bedpan was important enough for my great aunt to bring to Washington, D.C., when she moved here in the 1950's! I can't throw it away now.
What a shame it's so out of date you can't use it to FLUSH your TROUBLES AWAY!

However, these items CAN make interesting planters for your porch or patio. Geraniums in partiular THRIVE in old poopots.
Meeting the Challenge of Beautifying the Bedpan
'Twould make a great feature article in House & Garden.
I'd go for it if I were you.
A planter is a good idea.
DeleteThat second photo makes your treasured Old Family Relic look more like an instrument of Mediaeval Torture than anything else.
ReplyDeleteWhat IS that spike-like thing sticking up in the middle? Looks ominous to this friendly observer.

Franco,
DeleteI think that you're referring to the handle for the potty lid.
Too eerily reminiscent of the Judas Cradle, if you ask me.
