Well..... I'm in a vintage pottery state of mind these days. Not sure exactly what brought this back after many years of lost interest (well, sort of, but not really). I imagine it has a lot to do with having my little flea market blue cupboard space. I've been searching eBay for McCoy mostly. I received this lovely tulip vase in the mail the other day, and this is what I unwrapped.
So sad and so well packed, it's hard to imagine this could happen, but the seller was awesome and immediately refunded my account. I just didn't have the heart to throw the poor thing out, so I got out the glue!
After a bit of handy work, she's got a few tiny scars, but definitely does not belong in the trash.
I also rescued a very slightly damaged piece from the Vintage Peddler where my cupboard is. Such a small repair, that I nor the young girl who works there could find the crack..... eventually found a tiny place when I got this pretty girl home. Practically invisible, and only $6! Here she is posed next to a sweet Roseville I also got at a very good price.
So..... Sunday...... I washed several pieces of my pottery and redisplayed a few. Love the blue/greens.
The beautiful carved piece was done by a potter friend.
Another recent flea find was this pretty tole painted tray I found while on the hunt with bestie Katie.
I stuck on a few magnets I found a few years ago in Amsterdam. They're actually hiding a few scruffy places, but I think they add a nice little touch.
Lastly, here's a view out our front living room window of a precious little dogwood which has turned a glorious red!
