It's finally spring!

Spring is here, and with it's arrival, I'm another year older.  I had a wonderful birthday this year, just resting and being with family.

I want to share a few pics of my birthday flowers, in part because they gave me an opportunity to use two new Hull vases I picked up last year, but hadn't had a chance to use yet.  I love Hull pottery; I found these two vases I really liked for less than what I expected them to go for.  (I don't remember what I paid for each, but it was no more than $25 for either one.)  

Hull is one of several Ohio pottery companies that were popular in the early to mid part of the last century.  (Rookwood, McCoy and Shawnee are some others.)  I've come to love to vintage pottery.

The birthday flowers from my husband were just perfect to spread between my Hull pieces, and I enjoy the vases as much as the flowers!

I love the shape and soft colors of this piece.

 The coloring on this one is really subtle and just beautiful.

This is a nice tall pitcher.

I also got flowers from my son!  I've been surrounded by flowers this week; I just love it!

These gave me an excuse to pull out my vintage Snoopy vase 🙂

Flowers in the spring fill my heart with hope.

And finally, I bought a little birthday present for myself.  I've wanted a bunny planter for years, and I finally found one I loved for only $24.

I'm tempted to put a little stain on him.

But isn't he great?

I know my husband is going to accuse me again of making this a gardening blog.  But vintage pottery isn't gardening....and hey, he gave me the flowers.

Happy spring! ⚘
