Pottery Barn was selling these really big "funkins" for half price. I thought it would be a great thing to use as a form to do some paper mache' work...the darn thing is huge (30-inch diameter). Next time I will remember there is a "big" difference between circumference and diameter. What was your worst, goofiest, or most disappointing purchase? It is safe to confess here...no one will really know who you are
