Old Beat Up Pottery Makes Us Happy


We found a lovely old beat up piece of pottery at an estate sale on Saturday.

We think it is from the 1920's.
It is perfect for our now fading hydrangeas.

Joe and I love and collect old southern pottery. 


The top has numerous chips but the flowers are a perfect cover for them.
Because it was day two of the sale the crock was $12.00. We consider that a very good price.


Two vintage bowls make the tabletop country style and that is fine with us.

I could have put a vintage runner there but I am slipping due to motorcycle fatigue but that is another story.


I am linking with Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for Table Top Tuesday.

    Great finds! Makes a pretty vignette! Love the hydrangeas in the brown jug!

    I was just reading your profile and we have some things in common - my husband's name is also Joe, my grandmother's name was Olive, and yellow is my favorite color, so I would love your yellow house! Our house is white with yellow trim.

    Your hydrangeas are lovely in that old stoneware. Love it there with the other two pieces.

    I LOVE old pottery too. and don't mind chips at all. I always convince myself to bring it home by figuring it will go wonderful in my garden, BUT somehow it always makes itself RIGHT AT HOME inside! I love your runner too, is that citrus on it???
    Have a wonderful week,
    Hugs,
    Donna

    Olive,
    I love your tabletop. The pottery is perfect. I need to get out for some "retail therapy" soon and find some pottery treasure. Motorcycle fatigue?

    Cool find! $12 is an excellent price for that. The dark brown bowl beside it is pretty neat also.
