It Has Begun.... But Don't Tell Anyone

-
I told myself I was not going to do it.  But over the last six months or so,  they are creeping in.  Yes, I have a live rabbit, and suddenly I find myself bringing home various rabbits.  Not every rabbit I see comes home with me, it has to have a certain appeal, what -I don't know.



I found this sweet fella at an estate sale, his coat is a little dirty but I think that made him more like Peter Rabbit, I just love his chubby legs. He has a porcelain head, paws and feet, he's made by the Frederick Warne Co.  ( I made the other rabbit years ago using clay on a mold).




I just found this one last week end at a tag sale, he's made in Italy.  I'm trying to find more info., no luck yet, he stands just over 12 inches tall.




I found him in the basement of an antique shop, he started it all.


I found this beautiful rabbit at the flea market.  It is made by a Native American Potter -Caroline Lucario.  I just love the color and design! He sits in my kitchen window to brighten things up.

Franciscan Fine China -Silver Pine

I found this beautiful china at an antique sale a few weeks ago.  As with all of my items I did some research to find out the history.  The Gladding, McBean & Co., started out in 1875 making sewer tile . Thru the years they acquired several potteries and expanded their lines, located in California.  Originally the dinnerware was sold as Franciscan Pottery and consisted of bright earthenware in the Mexican folk style.  The name was associated with the Franciscan monks.  In the late 1930's the name was changed to Franciscan Ware for a more upscale image. The Fine China line was introduced in 1942.  This changed to Franciscan Masterpiece China after 1958 and production continued in the United States until 1978.   These dishes have a light turquoise background with a pine needle and  white pine cone design.  The turquoise goes well with the creamy white and silver detail.  I have started listing several of these i...

Vintage Decorating Ideas: Enlarge and Frame Old Letters - From Southern Living

I love the look of this enlarged envelope for art, found on the Southern Living site , and using an envelope from a relative adds to it.. “This is one of my favorite things,” says George of the framed envelope in the dining room. It was addressed by George’s great-grandmother to her uncle, George’s namesake, in 1917. He found it tucked away in his grandfather’s dresser. A local printer scanned and enlarged the envelope.
