Ivory Pottery Collection

Happy New Year!

 

I'm so happy to share the new year with you all and wish everyone the best of health and happiness this year!

 

Starting off 2013, I'll share with you my collection of ivory pottery.

 

 

They're all very warm pieces, and have the perfect amount of age.

A nice little dish with a bird design.

 

These are little deer we usually have out at Christmas time.

A very dainty tea set duo, with delicate features.

An adorable planter with two immigrant children, that look Scandinavian.

 

I hope you enjoyed this first little post of 2013!

I received money, a sander, ironing board and a few gift cards. It's nice to have my own sander now, since I have some DIY projects I hope to start in the spring, which I will definitely share with you all!

I'd also like to take time to mention, when I was celebrating Thanksgiving with my family at the nursing home where my great grandfather lives, I saw the woman who gave me my typewriter in the nursing home hallway, where she resides also. I didn't say hello, because I wasn't sure if she'd recognize me. She also looked quite depressed and distraught. Little did I know, the day I was there, was the day her husband had passed away. I cannot imagine how it must feel to lose a spouse. Especially during the holidays. I know that death isn't the end, they are always still with you. I hope to visit her sometime in the near future, so she can have some company.

In loving memory of her husband.

I'm excited for the new year, it's always nice to have a fresh start.

New memories and new lessons.

I hope the new year is a good one for all of you, too.

Again, thank you for all of the kind words and support from all of my readers,

I really appreciate it.
