What a crock

I spied a bunch of furniture and household items on the curb in front of a house down the block from me. I sauntered down there of course. The house has seen better days and is for sale. It was mostly junky stuff, ugly furniture, kids' toys, etc...but there was this clay crock jug. Scott said, "you could paint that dark gray and use it for something, maybe an umbrella stand." So I took it. Got it home, sanded it, primed it, and put two coats of gray paint on it. And just like that it modernized it. I'm using to hold all my wrapping papers in the craft room upstairs. Funny, I have been thinking I needed something like that for literally years, something heavy that wouldn't tip over when all the rolls were in it.
