Canister Rescue

Sunflowers have always been a favorite of mine. One of these days, I'll scan photos of the living room from the 90's and really scare you. Until then, here's one of my canisters from the same era.

 

A little worse for the years in the humidity, sure.

The real problem came via Feline Overlord mischief. 

Well, fine, but it's not hitting the trash just yet. I started by removing the hardware 

that snapped the lid onto base.

The rest of it was a cinch. No screws, it just all slid apart.

 

I'm considering setting this on contact paper and smashing it for a mosaic piece.

Once all the hardware was off, I just cleaned up where the collar had been...

...and grabbed a bouquet of sunflowers!

How's that for a little Fall touch for the kitchen?

I think it made a great little vase for free, and I especially like not throwing it away.

So what have you saved from the landfill recently?
