Several years ago my friend Nancy, My Crafty Little Page gave the Ya-Yas (our little group of high school friends and sisters) each one of these little lady vases.
Mine holds a bouquet of pink flowers and since she has a vase beside her, she holds my make up brushes. I see her every morning and think of sweet Nancy. She was my only Lady Vase until last year when I found this one in Wimberley…She lives in the guest house on my work table…
She is much larger than my dressing table lady and her demeanor seems rather bossy and “take charge” so she has been given the job of holding my crochet hooks…
She is the only lady on the work table and I think she likes it that way. She wears a pretty cold painted blue apron with a pink flower.
She even has pink slippers…
Yesterday I was in the Downtowner Antique Mall here in New Braunfels when I found a third lady vase…
She hasn’t been assigned a job yet while I decide what would be ideal for her little square basket…She has such a surprised look on her face. I mean. those eyebrows are way up in the middle of her forehead. Maybe she heard the weatherman announce the heat index…Maybe it’s a worried look…
She is probably afraid that I’ll put her out on the patio or in the screened porch where it’s in triple digits … I’ve heard that three of anything makes a collection, so I guess I have a collection of lady vases…here they are posed for a family picture…
Have a Pink Week, stay indoors with a cold drink while you visit Beverly and the assembled guests at How Sweet the Sound. Thanks for stopping by to visit my newest collection.

Your ladies are just gorgeous, Laverne. I remember Mother making the prettiest bouquets from her gardens in these kinds of vases.
Happy PS weekend.

These lady vases are awesome and I love how you are using them. Great ideas!
Happy Pink Saturday!
The lady vases are so cute! I have one from a beloved aunt that I treasure...it always reminds me of her. Thanks for reminding me!

These are fabulous, and 3 definitely is a collection. Hmmm, the basket is short and square, so nothing too tall... cotton balls? Little eyeshadows? Bottles of nail varnish? It has to be girlie...
Happy Pink Saturday!
Great ideas for storing your brushes and things. Happy PS!
She looks so cute, LaVerne. I'm glad that she's made new friends and found a job. Is the Comal super crowded? As soon as they air condition the river we can go on a four hour float. Until then...I'll see you..in September! xo Nancy
Okay - August for your birthday!
What a nice friend to get you started on your collection of adorable lady vases! Happy PS!
Sweet little ladies....
and how fun they are too. So clever to use the one as a brush holder.
Wishing you a pinkishly beautiful weekend
