A couple of vintage planters

I've always loved vintage planters, and over the past few years, as I've been wandering antique shops and thrift stores, I've seen some sweet ones.

Not only do I love planters, but as time as passed I've found myself becoming more and more of a plant collector.  I'm growing lot of plants, and every time I see flowers I'm imagining in my head how to arrange them in a vase somehow.  So I've found myself collecting planters (I just have a few, but enough to call it a collection, I guess).  I only buy them, however, if the price is really low.  That makes them really hard to resist.

Here are two I bought this summer.  I just put flowers in them for the first time, so I thought I'd share:


Isn't he the sweetest??  ❤❤
It's hard to resist a cute puppy...I don't remember what I paid for this Royal Copley planter, but I think he was under $20.  I've often seen planters like him for much more, so I thought his price was good.
These mid-century planters are adorable.


I saw this little squirrel and thought he was perfect for fall.
Not sure why squirrels and owls always feel fall-ish to me, but they do.


This little guy was $3 at my favorite flea market in upstate New York.
Two carnations and he's complete!  It's nice to have little planters that don't require a lot of flowers to fill.


That's it for now.  2 vintage planters + 1 bunch of carnations = 1 day brightened up for me.🙂
