Friday Finds on a Sunday Evening...

Joining in with Kim Klassen's weekly challenge...Friday Finds...I'd like to share mine...


I found this little handmade mini-pitcher at an antique shop in Medina, Ohio...about 45 minutes form where I live.  Like Sarah...I've gotten more into my garden this year.  The Edster has been working hard  making compost piles and then turning them into landscape islands...but I digress.


I planted a lot of perennials this year, but added some color with some zinnias.  Now...unless you want to cut off the whole plant, the individual zinnia blooms don't have long stems.  This pitcher is perfect to manage these little guys.


I also love how you can see the grooves from the individual handiwork to make this little treasure...


And while most of my garden remains outside, I can snip a little of my posies and place a little bit of color because of this Friday Find pitcher, that fits them so perfectly.

  3. Love the pitcher. I found a couple of very short glass vases today at the Antique Market for those short stemmed flowers.

  10. Great close up photo of the handle on the pitcher! You've inspired me to get a pitcher out of the cabinet and try some photos!
