I've always loved old things. And so does my daughter. Some years ago, my mom got rid of a sweet little Teddy Bear planter she was given in the hospital when I was born. I asked for it because I loved the sentimental connection and I loved it because it was obviously old! I stuck it in the basement until yesterday morning, when I brought it up and washed off the dust. I made a quick trip to Kowalski's for pink sweetheart roses. When I got home, I carefully arranged the roses in the planter. They're for our daughter, who just gave birth to our first grandchild, NORA KATHLEEN ... What a wonderful name! And what a wonderful day. Welcome to the world, Nora! And now I'm a grandma!
(NOTE: This precious vintage BABY'S FIRST planter is from Kay Finch Pottery of California, ca 1940 - 1950's. The heart shaped nose is typical of Kay Finch pieces. Kay Finch Ceramics was based in California and operated from 1939 through the early 1960's).

The sentiment is wonderful and precious. CONGRATULATIONS Grandma!!!
So did I
congratulations my friend. Blessings to all. Salud
It's always so nice to hear from you. I guess I'm just a sentimental fool! I do enjoy vintage things. I love them even more if they have belonged to a family member and I know their history. I feel sad when I don't know their true story. I have a few pieces that belonged to my MIL. She had great taste and we've inherited some truly lovely pieces but there's no one around any more to ask.
