Spring was late in arriving and then we blinked and it was gone. I have to say, summer feels good! Outdoor aerobics classes started last week. Dan and I have our coffee on the patio in the mornings, and G&T's out there in the evenings.
It's my favorite time for the gardens, when something new is popping up almost daily. I've started collecting vintage vases to display my flowers. I have one from my grandmother, and a couple more I've picked up at vintage shops along the way. And, my cousin started an Etsy shop called MagpieJoyCo, which is where this little beauty came from. I just love the mint green color and the simple but elegant lines.
I also snagged this platter from her shop. It's like having a garden indoors.
It's fun to collect things that remind me of another era, were previously loved, and are useful to boot!
Tomorrow I'll share some of my other finds.
Happy Wednesday everyone.
Happy Wednesday my friend.
ReplyDeleteWe are having the heat here too. Spent the last two days getting the rest of
my plants planted while dodging the heat. We'll have a few days indoors though
we are supposed to go on a garden tour Saturday, 90 for the high. Umm...
Love your vase and your platter. Vintage things do tell stories, it would be
nice to know some of them.
Stay cool.

Hot and dry over here on the other side of the Rockies as well. I love your vintage finds in your cousin's Etsy store. It was fun to browse her inventory and see some things I remember from my childhood. Thanks for the link. Have a good day. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt has been unusually hot here in northeast IL - upper 80's - low 90's every day. This is more like our July-August weather. We went from 40 degrees on Memorial Day to this kind of weather in a week! And the sad thing is, we haven't had rain for weeks. We're in a drought. I feel sorry for the farmers.
ReplyDeleteI have a similar mint green pottery vase! Mine's a McCoy. Do you know what yours is? I will go take a look at your cousin's etsy shop!
