Cool Old Cast Iron Urn

I won!!! I'm one of those people who rarely win but I did this time!

There's a cute little shop in a small river town nearby that I tend to frequent often called 

Eye Candy ReFind

(link above)

Lacy, the owner, was giving away a $100 gift certificate, I entered and to my surprise one morning last week I found a message that I had won!

I had my eye on this tall (over the knee), heavy urn with the most amazing patina. It looks like long ago it may have been painted green.

I had Mr. Wild set it next to the front door outside but realized I wanted to enjoy it more. Now it's inside sitting in front of one of my old chippy white doors.

If any of you are ever in the Afton, Minnesota area please stop by her shop!

Plus even better, she's opening a second shop in Hastings, Minnesota.

Both towns are fun river towns (St. Croix River) full of history and antique shops.

Thanks Lacy!
