Blue Handled
Vase
One of the many vases I've picked up at yard sales, thrift
stores & estate sales. Most are imperfect, cracked or chipped. This
one has a beautiful blue matte finsih.

|
Little Tree
This little brush tree is one of several that were possibly
part of a Christmas nativity display. It has a red wooden base.
|
|
Globe bank
I like old metal globes. This one is a little bank.
|
|
Mexican Bird Bowl
I found this at a thrift store in Omaha. It's a beautifully painted
gourd bowl.
|
|
White shell vase
Another of the vases. The shell shape is so appealing.
|
|
Plastic Fly
The plastic fly reappears from time to time around the house. It doesn't
really belong anywhere in particular. It fits nicely in the palm of
your hand.
|
|
Gooseneck lamp
This old gooseneck lamp has a green fiberglass shade.
|
|
Fan
Old metal fan - works pretty good and it's beautiful to look at too. I love the streamline design and green color of the base.
|
|
Circus Dog Salt Shaker
This is a little circus dog salt shaker. He's wearing a
clown hat and balancing on his hind legs. His mate must have been broken
before I found him at a thrift store.
|
|
Toy Windup Dog
He is yellow plastic with red spots. Mostly stays in the attic toy
area. I like the way he looks on the plaid background.
|
|
Curvy Vase
This one is almost baroque.
|
|
Telephone
I like the design of old technology. This phone feels very heavy &
solid when you hold the receiver in your hand. I have a jack adapter
so it can be used for making calls. Funny how long it seems to dial
compared to pushing buttons.
|
|
Blue vase
I think this vase portrait has a lot of personality - it looks like it's holding
up a tiny pair of arms in this monoprint.
|
|
Wooden Bird Toy
If you press a little button on the top of the tree trunk the
woodpecker will peck at the tree.
|
|
Dinosaur toy
Plastic dinosaur, one of many from the days of the dino. A T-Rex I
think. No longer battling the other dino figures on top of my son's
dresser, he now lives in the attic.
|
|
Folding Camp Stool
This jauntily striped camp stool seems so potentially useful. But we never take it camping.
|
|
stick Lady
I think she might be Norwegian. Carved & painted wooden lady doll
with jointed arms but only one leg.
|
|
Hen Laying Egg
Hen Laying Egg firework. So cleverly made. Lays small flaming fire
balls. I couldn't bring myself to throw her out after the show.
|
|
Ma & Pa
Ma & Pa salt and pepper shakers. There's something so satisfyingly
creepy about head shaped objects.
|
|
Old Metal Trunk
Bought at an estate sale, it has a charming picture of a little girl inside the top.
|
|
Lady with fruit Basket
This little ceramic lady is carrying a fruit basket on her head. She's
flat on the back side so she can hang on a wall.
|
|
Happy Yellow Vase
This vase is such a nice yellow color and is so beautifully shaped
it seems like a happy object.
|
|
Bowl with Face
This wooden bowl has a face painted in it (by me) I painted a number
of wooden salad bowls before I decided they were just fine as they were.
|
|
Wooden Lad
Someone carved this odd little guy out of wood, then painted him. He's
wearing a long-sleeved shirt and shorts.
|
|
Black Kitty Cat
Little black kitty on a green base. Slightly chipped with
a mysterious gaze.
|
|
Green Metal Chair
Once a high chair in some long ago kitchen, now in my attic studio.
|
|
Baby Head
I think it was a display model for baby hats. This beautifully
painted baby head has a Cupid's bow mouth and very thin eyebrows.
|
|
Spanish bowl
I bought this bowl in Barcelona for my friend Carie. I love Spanish
pottery bowls.
