a friend gave me this....!!!!


A friend gave me this "milk can" sans the lid...I thought it was a neat thing....however...
WHAT DO I DO WITH IT?????
it is a bit rusty....but the bottom is ok....I really have no place in the house for it....but maybe on the breezeway??? fill with dirt...boy would it be heavy....LOL...
any suggestions would be welcome....otherwise it will probably sit in the garage for a year or two...and then given to the yard sale LOL....sooooooooooo
HELP!!!! and thanks

I have a milk can on my front porch. It does have the lid. I painted it black and put a big country decal on the side and there it sits by the door.

I have one also. Mine has the lid & sits in my living room as decoration. I've tried to get my lid off & can't. LOL I like Cindi's idea!

I have one too! It was my mom's. I painted it for her with a flower design and it sits by my computer desk now and I use it to sit my ice tea on.

If it was cabable I would say put a flower in it but then it would only rust more. Helen

Our mailbox sits in a milk can....well, its post does. The can is filled with dirt, too, so the wind doesn't knock it over.

Paint it a pretty color and put umbrella's in it or a nice potted plant!
