Great Finds at Job Lot
I have been on the lookout for a window box stand to make my flowers look a little cleaner, or at least more deliberate. Mom has some really cute ones on the porch in Duxbury that she found at some antique place. Sadly they were about $100 each and she is not willing to part with them. I have looked online but it turns out long skinny stands are hard to come by and very expensive when they can be found. I was beginning to lose hope. THEN, on a trip to Job Lot, I found a perfect solution. For only $18 was a cheap-o but cute enough wrought iron basket type of frame lined with that brown fibrous stuff – Google tells me it’s usually made of coconut but this could be a synthetic substitute. I brought it straight to Matunuck, assembled it in about 5 minutes by popping the legs onto the basket, and transplanted my various herbs into it. I like the result so much, I think I may buy another one the next time I’m in Duxbury.
