A Vase of Ones Own

Now that it's summer and flowers abound I'm happy to get reacquainted with old faces. I mean old vases. Pulling them off of the high shelves and back corners of my cupboards. Liberating them to help show off the bounty of the season. Yippee! I was browsing over on Etsy and found some really delightful offerings. I'll always have a soft spot for the vintage ones:

 
  McCoy tulips & German wine bottle, both from fernswoodpixie

 

 
turquoise with leaves & lime green with geisha, both from ShorlyChic; she has great pillows too.

 

 
silver plate trophy & ballerina from twovintagehearts

 

McCoy creamy cornucopia from TheDailyVintage

mid century modern Bitossi from beebleboy (I love Bitossi)

 
cut glass geometric & another cornucopia

 

60s ceramic from westbournegrove

 

I also browsed the handmade original designs:

 
bunny cutout & small garden, both from pretty random objects

I could go on and on sharing everything from ceramicist Whitney Smith. I adore her work. I was pleased to discover that she studied art in Santa Cruz at Cabrillo College, just down the street from me...

 

   

   

Whitney has a grand line-up of creamers, teapots, cake stands and more.

Now, I'm off to go cut some flowers!
