Swan and shells




Swans and shells. I guess I have a water theme going there. I do love the ocean so I see why I love shells. Not sure when the swans came in.


I collect the matte white glazed McCoy pottery. But you know how it is ...you get 2 or 3 of something and then it's a collection. So I have a collection of swans and shells within my pottery collection.
I store them in a cupboard that has gone thru as many style transformations as I have. It started out as a repro pie safe when I was doing red, white , and blue or Americana. It had punched tin doors. But for the latest transformation, I removed the doors and painted it...pale mint inside and yellow cream on the outside. I just love how the white McCoy pieces look in there.
I have been crafting some this week and have some spring things to show you soon.
