Street Finds: Clay Pot and Butcher Block

You can find anything on the streets of New York City. Small apartments and wealthy people make for incredible street finds. But it's also sad that so many amazing things are discarded and not rescued. Here is a giant clay pot that is almost brand new. Now I need to find something to plant!
I also found a giant maple butcher block. It needs some sanding, but this is a great piece of wood. Not sure what I'll do with it. Have to wait for inspiration!
