McCoy Monday

February 15, 2010 at 8:29 am by Claudia


It is McCoy Monday. Today I want to share this cache pot, one of my first pieces. The soft shades of green, the flower shaped pots and the sweet yellow bird make me smile. This is another of the McCoy pieces that use a bird, in this case three dimensional. I love it! There is another edition of the cache pot that has yellow flower pots instead of the green you see here. I don’t own that one, but I am sure I will some day. I display this piece on a little shelf above my kitchen counter.

It is snowing a bit here this morning but it is that kind of light, wind-blown snow that won’t accumulate – I hope. Riley, by the way, is so much better since we have changed the sleeping arrangements. We absolutely made the right decision. Now, when it is time for bed, Scout gets up on the love seat, Riley settles down on the floor and neither one blinks an eye. No more pacing or trying to follow us up the stairs…and every morning we have a grand reunion.

Happy Monday!

    Good Morning Claudia!

    Just popping by to catch-up (it’s been awhile).
    First, I love this piece of McCoy – my Great-Aunt Gladys had this same piece in her sunporch, among many other pieces. Hope that you find the yellow counter part!
    The swap that you had with Meri sounds and looks like a blast. All that fun playing with love and romance!

    Here’s hoping the snow that we’re expecting agian tonight doesn’t come your way!

    You have such a wonderful collection Claudia. I have always admired McCoy and you are so fortunate to have so many lovely pieces, thank you for sharing them with us.

    I’m happy to hear that Riley is doing better, I know how unsettling it can be when you’re worried about your fur baby.

    Have a fabulous week Sweet Friend,
    Karyn

    Hi Claudia! I love the McCoy. There is a shop in St. Pete, FL that has lots of yellow but I need the green for my room. Someday….

    Hi Claudia,

    Thanks again for making my Valentines brighter. I’m so glad your babies are finally getting their situation down. It is hard, as they are just like children, and you just want to make sure everyone’s happy. Have a wonderful week.

    Hugs,
    Meri

    Very pretty! I am glad to hear your fur babies have adapted well, it was probably harder on the humans. It also looks like you got some really neat things on your swap. I hope you have a great week Claudia!

    Hi Claudia,
    Guess what, I have that McCoy too! I have a good story, I went to a lady’s house who had a craiglist ad for a birdcage I wanted. When I got there she was moving & had stuff on the curb. She said to help myself. There were loads of china pieces, hat boxes & that McCoy piece. Those are the days us junkers live for@! Lisa

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
