Have a view of my daily photos or photos from my past. We all need to document the world around us visually. What I see is mostly what you get.

Old stuff....
I had an earlier blog about my collection of ceramic planters. The duck is a hanging one as there are holes on the back to hang it from the wall. The white poodle is one that I picked up at an antique store. Della was given the small doll plate of blue willow and the plate with the ducks was my mom's. I never expected to get that plate but my remaining two older brothers went through things and they apparently didn't want it. I always liked it as a kid and I guess the guys think it is just another old plate. I don't know it's history, but I believe it probably was great grandmas on mom's side. It will be fun to find something out about it in antique books but I haven't had the time.

My Grandma had a set of ducks just like your planter one..they seemed to be in thing as wedding gifts around 1950..she bought some then and told me she kept a set for herself.
