Old friendships are so comfortable...you can just be who you are...no excuses necessary. And this old friend surprised me yesterday with a little gift...
a vintage Shawnee miniature pitcher to add to my collection.
It is marked USA on the bottom in teeny-tiny letters...
and will look perfect with the other pieces in my collection.
These little mini's are getting very hard to find so I am absolutely thrilled to have this piece. The tiny vintage pieces are no more than 3 inches high and they are perfect replicas of the full-size pottery made by Shawnee in Ohio in the 1930's and 40's. (I wrote about my collection in a February 17, 2011 post here if you'd like to learn more.)
I can't wait to make a tiny little space for Sandy's pitcher in my kitchen pottery cabinet.
A day at the flea market with a wonderful friend and an unexpected gift from the heart...
Life Is Good!

Oh, I just love this little pitcher! I think I've heard of this pottery but doubt there'd be any here in N.B. What a sweet gift. You have quite a collection there in your sweet cabinet! Have a great week. Blessings, Pamela
I love your collection. I have a couple of Shawnee miniatures now and you're right, they're very hard to find!

Those unexpected gifts of kindness can really make your day brighter. What a sweet surprise.
What a sweet little pitcher, love it! I am lusting after one of those vintage trailer but they seem better suited for the sunbelt rather than the snow belt. But I love the look and idea, Laura
Sounds like a fun day with a good friend and a very sweet gift! I love the color of the red pottery. Those mini's are so cute and I learned about them from you and realized Ihave 3 of them. hugs, Linda
How cute! I have one that I recognized from your photo and I didn't even realize that it was valuable! I'll be keeping it now and looking for more myself! :)
