I found this lovely little hand-painted glass holder at a local thrift shop last weekend and paid a whole $1 for it. But I almost didn't buy it because sometimes it hard to see what an item really looks like when it's surrounded by items are lesser quality. Still, I never pass up a hand-painted item if I can help it. And, I'm really glad I didn't pass this one up either as it will be a handy little holder for pens, pencils, or watercolors pens as shown. I think it's the down-home charm of knowing that an artistic crafter somewhere, sometime, dipped brush into paint and created a cottage scene, floral bouquet, or colorful collage. There's nothing I like better than hand-painted treasures to fulfill my vision of cottage decorating.

Coralie, our reading habits are very similar. I was surprised to see that I've read many of the titles peeking from behind your cute pen holder!
ReplyDeleteI love to read and it's really fun to meet someone who has the same interests in books as well as the U.P. I see you are a writer, too! What kind of writing do you enjoy most? I'd love to hear more!
