The beauty to life is that we all can create our own at any time, according to who we are, not as others imagine or wish us to be.

The colorful cloth that the white pot sits on is also a sarong. I bought it in Madrid, NM, when I first arrived down there, where I used it as a curtain. It's fun to use items in different ways than their original purpose. <br /><br />The white pot was made for me as a birthday present by my friend, JB. I saw one like it in Cortez, Colorado many years ago and so he duplicated it for me, slightly larger and more round. I love it immensely. I've been meaning to post on it....<br /><br />So glad you enjoyed the post.Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-81277198295162323862012-08-10T09:01:53.891-05:002012-08-10T09:01:53.891-05:00When I had my farmhouse in the '90's, I co...When I had my farmhouse in the '90's, I collected them, along with old tablecloths from that era, such as the one it sits on. I bought this one at an antique store somewhere south of here. I gave the ones that looked like rattan and wicker to my son, and some stayed in Santa Fe, at the Salvation Army, along with several other things that didn't make the trip back home to Minnesota. This was my favorite and so it stayed with me. I think it's from the late 50's, early 60's. Thanks for asking. I love it, too.Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-22803951049807604172012-08-10T08:29:46.583-05:002012-08-10T08:29:46.583-05:00Love these pictures!
