Vintage on line

I think I must have a collectors heart, which greatly conflicts with my desire for things to be uncluttered. That must be why I'm drawn to things that aren't just pretty but serve a purpose as well. I recently came across this large blue Ball jar at a thrift store for $1 and it was love at first sight. It doesn't hurt that I'm currently obsessed with the color blue. I found the 2nd one at an antique store for $2. I now have the beginnings of a new obsession, I mean collection. You know you have a problem when you start asking people to get you blue jars for Christmas.

Then while exploring Teresa Sheeley's blog French Poppy, I discovered this original print for sale in her Etsy shop. I just had to own it as a celebration of my newest collection. I can't wait to hang it in my studio. What an inspiring thing to look at while I'm working and playing.
