Flea-Market Urn

This weekend I went to a new flea market in town that's being run by a public high school. They're raising money for the students since so many things that used to be offered have been cut.

I found this gorgeous, cast-iron urn for only $8. It weighs a ton and stands about 12 inches tall.

Right now, it's holding one of my other current obsessions, the quince.

For Halloween, I may fill this full of (fake) creepy crawlies and leave it out on the front porch.

I couldn't just plop them on the countertop, right? Because, y'know, I want to help out the public-school system.
