I've always loved old things. And so does my daughter. Some years ago, my mom got rid of this 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 this 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 arranged the roses in the planter. I'll be taking them to 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).
