{How do collections start?}

It starts with one.....

 I fell in love with this vintage swan planter. It is the perfect color of aqua. He lives outside with some sweet sedum planted in him.

Then I found a little pink one. Then I found a sweet cream Lenox swan.


I found this pretty blue one on Ebay.


Next came this lovely flowered one.....

Two more were found at Goodwill yesterday.


VOILA! A vintage collection is born!!! I remember my grandmothers back patio and all of her old planters. She grew a lot of cactus in them, but the pots were always eye candy to me.
Don't know why I chose swans :-)

Today I am linking to

  3. Hi Lori Lynn :) Yup, that is exactly how a collection starts; you buy 1 thing, and the next thing you know you have a bunch of them, lol :) But collecting vintage things is just so much fun, especially the hunt for that one you need to finish your collection :) Love your Aqua planter!

    Warmest, Brenda
