Pot Head?
No, that doesn't mean what you think it does!!! I have this THING for terra cotta pots... [Alright, let's just call a spade a spade: it's an obsession.]
At one point, I had hundreds of them in my hoarded stash. [Click over to my blog post to read the amazing story of how I ended up with most of them!] I have used them as decor elements in every season, as well as pressing them into service as props in retail and vintage show displays. Oh, and I DID sell some over the years, too!
I never throw a pot away - even if it's broken! I just press those into flowerbeds and borders to look as if they are submerged, and then plant moss or creeping rosemary, etc. to grow 'out' of the pot, spilling across the ground. You can see why I love them so for my indoor AND Decor

I love terracotta pots too! They are the best crafty item, and they are also best for succulent plants...also enjoying my addiction to those...

I love them and if you need a pop of color they are so easy to paint. You are right they are so easy to use in so many different ways, from bird baths to feeders to center pieces. Like you I never throw one away I always find use for broken pots.
