My thrift store find of the week is this Vintage Shawnee Pottery Dutch Boy Vase. My love of mid-century pottery is still purchasing items from thrift stores. This vase is larger than most, it stands about 9" tall. The condition is amazing, no chips, cracks, or crazing........unusual. Cost to me $3. He is joining my collection.

I need a little additional space for my collection, the shelf is getting crowded.

I think that my late MIL's collection of teacups/saucer sets is going home to her grandchildren.

Hull Pottery Pitcher and Shakers

Via Pinterest

I was out and about....junking is my hobby. I found this cute Hull pitcher....but not the shakers. I have not be able to find out much with my research. I think that these are 1950's era. They are a heavy pottery made with white clay. The pitcher joins my mid-century USA pottery collection...and is one of the few items with decorative hand painted flowers on them.

I have been planting tulips for next spring. I did get my garlic planted a few days ago. The patio umbrellas, rugs, chairs and decorative items are put away until next spring. The pool has been cleaned and prepped for the winter. There are more things to be done, pruning and removing dead foliage and plants.
