Urn envy

I sell a lot of antique urns and it's always hard to let them go. There is just something about their shape that I love, even when they are empty. I do have one (finally) at my own home. It is sitting in the middle of my unlandscaped yard, looking lonely, but it is beautiful. Some day it will be a gorgeous focal point, full of glorious plants spilling over the rim. Here are 2 of 5 urns I picked up last week plus some others in the shop. Then a few photos of urns in their "forever homes". Do you have "urn envy" or have you satified th crave? Leave me a comment!

A heavy day...

Spent the whole day out rounding up garden pieces. My truck was riding low tonight...full of huge antique urn parts and pieces, all very heavy, crusty and lovely. Five in all + one of me = very tired arms...but they are getting sculpted right?

But the big find of the day? This salesman's sample iron bed! OH MY!! Now isn't this just THE perfect place for your beloved 4-legged friend to snooze? Deck this bed out with a white dust ruffle, a fluffy pillow and sweet vintage quilt piece. Say good-bye to that blasé, generic pet pillow...perch your pooch (or feline) on this darling little cutie. After all...who waits all day for you with a smile no matter what? Don't they deserve a little vintage too?
