It's Fun to Find Stuff

Kim Klassen has started a new link up called Friday Finds. This is what I found at my second favorite antique store in Colorado City, TX a couple weeks ago. I don't think the pitcher is all that old but the color was to die for. (It said FTD on the bottom.) There were 2 sizes of the cobalt blue bottle. I should have gotten them both. They just happened to go perfectly with the little bouquet I had just picked.

This was my before. What a difference! Good thing I shoot in raw. I believe I was attempting 'total' manual settings that day.

  10. Faux rétro is so legit. That pink pitcher is beautiful! I love the entire collection of images, but especially the one where the pink blossoms are whispering in the 'ear' of the pitcher. Poetry.
