it's been snowing here --lightly but all the same, c'mon already it's april 20th!!- i'm feeling chilled to
the bone and am in need of some serious sunshine. i've been finishing up a few new pieces of jewelry -- a ring just listed and some earrings to add tomorrow--and had time to list just a few new vintage items in 5gardenias.. a victorian tin litho children's cup and pitcher, and a mid century abingdon art pottery planter... the tin pieces just melt my heart with their well used spindly little handles and worn spots of imagery just rubbed enough--but not so much that you can't still make out the images of children playing and butterflies flying...and beautiful spring color. -- and the planter is lovely too with a creamy white satin matte glaze over a stoic modern design with a nod to the classical.. i think some fresh green grasses or tall chives growing in this would look so pretty in contrast to the soft white...
happy wednesday-- and i hope the sun is shining on you!
The tin litho is gorgeous...just adorable, and that creamy planter would look so good sitting on my kitchen window-sill.
