Vintage Pottery, Puppy Pictures, & Giveaway Reminder

Hi everyone, how was your day?

 I am so excited!  My mom just gave me this gorgeous Roseville pottery piece yesterday!  It was a wedding gift to her and my dad back in the 40's.  I've admired it for years, and she always told me that one day it would be mine.  I am in love with the shape, the colors, and the gorgeous water lily, that is on both sides.  I will treasure it always, and one day pass it on to someone else in our family!

 So today I thought I would arrange it on my antique hutch in our living room, along with several other vintage pottery pieces that I already have.

 Did I tell you how much I love this?!  Now I think that I "need" a few more Roseville pieces so that I have an official collection!

 Among the pottery, I tucked a few favorite accessories, like my glass cloche.  Nestled inside is a real bird's nest, some moss, and several of my faux bird eggs that I created.

 I found this gorgeous McCoy green planter a few months ago while out thrifting.  I really love the raised leaf and berry motif.

 A pair of sweet little birdies poses in front of a vintage aqua gravy boat that I picked up recently.

 I really love the shape and color of this cute little aqua creamer, also a gift from my mom a few years ago.

 The other pieces are vintage as well, with the exception of the cream colored urn on the lower shelf.

I'm not sure howe long I'll keep the arrangement like it is, I think a bit of tweaking is in order.

But for now I am really loving it.  

 Yawn!!!!!!!!!!

Here's Katie taking a break on our  her bed!

 Being a cute little puppy sure takes alot of energy!

 "I can hardly keep my eyes open, mama!"

 "Can we please just get this photo shoot over with, so that I can have my little cat nap?"

 "Night-night!"
