    Fantastic planter! Colors and shape are great.

    Does finding things at the dump mean everything is free? Why on earth wouldn’t someone have charged for this?

    These kind of cactuses are all over Willis Wonderland.

    Every item at ANY dump “Gift Hut” is FREE.

    This now sits in my living room.

    That is lovely! It reminds me of a cactus punch bowl an artist friend’s wife made. She was an artist too and I wish I was still in touch with her. She blew glass! That has always been a dream of mine. She made this cactus punch bowl and hanging off the needles were little red blossom shaped cups. It was magnificent! I wish I had a picture of it.

    What a great find! It always amazes me what you find out there that people consider garbage or junk. I can always find a treasure no matter where I go.

    Glad everybody likes it!
    It was funny to walk into the “gift hut” at the dump and see this just sitting there, ready to be snatched up….

      Is there a “for sale” section of the dump or does everything that ends up there go into a giant hole and is for free?

    Well, your going on a dump run in 2011 if it all works.

    Yes, every “dump store” or “gift hut” as they are sometimes called is ALWAYS FREE at ALL TIMES. Most of the townships have a dump/gift hut. I go to three of them on a regular basis.

    You walk in (some dumps make you show a township sticker but sometimes, certain dumps will still let me in) and you simply shop and pick up anything you you see and walk out the door. BAM, free shopping.

    Here is the video that is part of a pending post here on awmok.com and the kitschenette about “dump shopping”……It’ll ‘give you an idea of process and the rules are that you shop for no longer than a half an hour or so….

    GIANT HOLE?

    No, each place has a pre-made house type structure that serves as the “Store”…
