I Love Collecting: February 2013

WHY DO I COLLECT?

Why do I collect? That's easy... because it's so much fun! Ever since I can remember I have been going to flea markets, antique shops, yard sales, you name it. Wherever I could find some sort of interesting treasure or cool piece of junk! I love driving around in search of new places or revisiting my favorite spots. I come from a family of collectors and have lived amongst antiques and collectibles my whole life. I have a passion for decorating especially with things that I find in my travels or even things found in the trash... which by the way can be some of the best stuff! But for those who share the same passion, I don't have to tell you... you all know what fun it is and how addicting it can be! Here I will share my collections, interesting finds, decorating tips, photos, projects, friends collections and thoughts and whatever else I may find along the way.

PRETTY GLASS PITCHERS

Even though it's still cold out, the sun was shining

so beautifully today that it made me think that Spring

is right around the corner! I guess it is, kind of...

I can't wait to be sitting outside in the warm

weather sipping some lemonade or ice tea!

I love to use my vintage glassware

for serving. Here's a few favorite pitchers...

perfect for lemonade and ice tea!

Sweet!

THANKS friends!!

TRUE BLUE!

I've been finding a lot of blue pottery lately.

I love these 2 Haeger pedestal pieces!

The taller piece came from Care & Share

and I had my eye on it for a while.

It was just a little more than I wanted to spend.

But then I got lucky and found it still there

during their monthly half-price sale! YAY!

Loving this pair of Haeger's...

The darker blue piece is actually Weller

and the one on the right, Haeger.
