Now that it's summer and flowers abound I'm happy to get reacquainted with old faces. I mean old vases. Pulling them off of the high shelves and back corners of my cupboards. Liberating them to help show off the bounty of the season. Yippee! I was browsing over on Etsy and found some really delightful offerings. I'll always have a soft spot for the vintage ones:

Etsy fernswood McCoy Tulip 
Etsy fernswood pixies
  McCoy tulips & German wine bottle, both from fernswoodpixie

 

Etsy shorely  
Etsy shorely chic
turquoise with leaves & lime green with geisha, both from ShorlyChic; she has great pillows too.

 

Etsy paddyridge  Etsy twovintage hearts
silver plate trophy & ballerina from twovintagehearts

 

Etsy.the.daily.vintage
McCoy creamy cornucopia from TheDailyVintage


Etsy.beebleboy

mid century modern Bitossi from beebleboy (I love Bitossi)

Etsy vintage starr beads 
Etsy the white home
cut glass geometric & another cornucopia

I also browsed the handmade original designs:


Etsy.pretty.
 
Il_430xN.145998937
bunny cutout & small garden, both from pretty random objects

I could go on and on sharing everything from ceramicist Whitney Smith. I adore her work. I was pleased to discover that she studied art in Santa Cruz at Cabrillo College, just down the street from me…

Now, I'm off to go cut some flowers!
