Blossombuddy, you have quite a collection.
Pasttime, I really like the silver one, that flowing shape is unique and right up my alley. Lucky to have such a splendid boss to share her treasures.
Vases and Containers
Still scrubbing... someone piled me up with dishes too! LOL!
I love this one from my late grandmother, Nana. It is wonderful. I have to take photos of others that mean a lot.
That is a lovely piece. I love the subtle color.

Hi Sally, Love your Nanas vase, beautiful colours! Thanks for joining the thread, got any more? LOL!
BlossomBubbles!!! are you still washing up?
Seems to me between the dinner dishes and the vases I got lost in the kitchen....
Oopas, got a lil lasagna on me vases!
Here's a few more of my buds....and a couple parfaits!
Love the vases, but love the lasagna even more, that is one of my favorites! Yours looks scrumptious, can you share some over at the cafe perhaps?
One lasagna coming up at the cafe NY!! Now you know what I have been having to scrub up while looking for more vases!
Here are two of my spring lid jars! And oh finally, we have found a McCoy!
This is one of my favs!! Yep, a REAL McCOY!!
Nice vases Blossom, love the jars, what will you do with those?
So this is the REAL McCOY! Beautiful shape and colour. I can't wait to see some flowers in your vases!! Thanks, glad you found them!
Well tada... found some more.. but oh no, no this is not a REAL McCoy, it is though a reproduction of one. Even though it says on the bottom.. the giveaway though is also it is not glazed to good on the bottom and it also says USA...!
I actually have a pair of these!
I like it, you have 2? Great! we have a 'TWINS' Themed thread for those!
Look forward to that..
You asked for it.. yes, here is the identical twin!! And yes, I have mating shelves!! LOL...
(Werrrrrrre you serious.. a TWINS thread???.. um link please!)
oh and did I find some more cuties... will post tomorrow.. my digits are tired from all the shoe making and have to unload!
What a fine shoe maker you are, did the elves help? LOL!
Um...... can't do links YET! But it's here honest!!!
spill the beans! is that a reverse picture or what?
Beans spilled....
(Do you know how hard it is to take a picture of your own hand and get it in focus!! LOL!)
See bottoms of vases.. how "crappy" the glaze is, that too is a dead giveaway that it is not the real MCCOY!
Yup two repos of one!! No trickwitchery photography here!
Abracadabrah!! NOT!!
See nothing up my sleeve!
And yeah, twin shelves!! LOL!
Ok, not McCoys...but my "PANK" collection!! LOL!
Now I know there are more Macs here.. just have not got to them.
(Pulling hairs out going.. where on earth are the....!)
Hi Blossom!
Lovely PANK collection! would like a closer look at some!!! but will make do LOL!
Like the look of the BIG PANK one the bottom shelf, nice for a spring arrangement.
I forgot I had this black one.
It holds one whole floral foam block.
So sorry about that miserable blurry pic of the PANK collection.. will try zooming in one some more as I get time! Here is the one you mentioned liking...it is by Covina Pottery. Pink is a fun color to get right.. NOT!
Yes, the mortarboard pallette container it holds that oasis. Just like yours. I was wrong on the taping too! I stuck a peice of oasis in mine and Jeez, how solid!! No taping needed! What was I thinking at the moment of that disscusion, who knows!! LOL! See, told you I had not used it! Learn something new every day!! If I only had a box of fresh flowers and foliage....{{{dreaming!!}}}.. I think I could have some fun with that critter!
Here is the mortarboard with the oasis....Now I have no clue what to do with it!!LOL!.
Oh yes, that is a lovely Pank container!! I think Pank flowers are hard to photograph too!
A nice low arrangement for the black one perhaps?
Could be, but first thing popped into my head was tin-tin!! LOL! Awwww heck, I don't know.. will have to look in the flower shed for foliage and blooms....putting this one on hold!
Well I will be danged! The WD40 worked! I have tried for years scrubbing on that.. Someone had put a duct tape price sticker on it at an estate sale and really stained it! Now to get the WD off!
Tada!!!! Halfway!
Ok, tada!
LOL! so then what do we do, we still stick an UG-LEE bow in it anyway... go figure!!
I think we have to be somewhat de-arragned to be a florist! Well, WD your going to the tool box. MY tool box!
O that looks LOVELY! the bow is pretty! PANK ..... LOL!
Bow, haH,, thats a KNOT! hwehehe
Thought you wer going to Liverpool! LOL!
Ima TOTAL basket case when it comes to making bows!

Mr & Mrs Watering cans LOL! yours is so dainty, I imagine some pretty sweet peas in there!
Oooooh oh! DO NOT LOOK AT THIS ONE!!
(It matches the other one I have...silly estate sales....!)
Not a pair, but delft handles on copper er...metal!!)
Not a pair, but mates, Mate!
Well mate! there's another lovely one for the cafe arrangements, when the flowers start to arrive!!
Make sure you don't go tidying all your containers away in boxes, never to be seen again . LOL
Well...Still have a pile of misc. onthe Kitchen counter toclean. Then I am gonna trapse over to the DH's shop and see where my good stuff ran off too! I remember now we had to clear out the attic a while back when the new insulation came....things alwasy get going in a hurry and then when you want something.. sheesh, what a mess.
I am looking for a lovely McCoy Frog...(Case ya did not notice, we got a frog fetish going on here!! .....new thread!! hint! Not what you think...
but ribbet frogs! Anything froggie is great for the collection!
Heres a cute one for Easter... put all those pretty eggs and candies in there!
Oops..that should go under the basket thread....
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/939930/
Well, its a container too!! LOL!
OMG...... WHAT????? the wrong thread, oh that will never do LOL!!!

FROGS? oh no I don't have any! Weed woman and Candee have frogs I think.
Ribbet Ribbet!
Wheres the frog thread...you messing with me, there is a froggie thread???
Must go! Must see!! Whre where ???
RRRibbet! (No bows!) LOL!
Well, the good news is is the McCoys did not go out with the trash. The bad news is is they are tucked in the farthest corner of the storage room behind a huge pile of other things that I cannot move. OY.. Well thankfully we found them.
Guess I will be trying out that bow maker today though.. my luck, I found some ribbon!
Still having some others to show other than the McCoys. So it will be awhile on those.
Here is one of my favorite Napcos!
