VTT, A FAIR BEAR, AND PLANTERS

FAIR TEDDY BEAR VTT PLANTERS


CLOSE UP WEATHER IN MELBOURNE FL.......70's and sunshine today.
Here are a couple things for my VTT......The teddy bear is one from the early 60's ...they were given away as prizes at local fairs. They came in a variety of colors and were a coveted prize. I do not remember any of my boy friends ever able to win one for me! This one my DD found at a yard sale for a buck. Good bye I think. I think I would like to have a blue one.
The other VTT is 3 planters that were my maternal Grandmothers. She had them in her dinning room for many years, I think she got them in the late 40's. I don't know what they are or where they came from. I would say just looking at them and the time frame they came from that the gold on them is at least 18 K gold. That is something you don't find much today. She used them as planters putting some kind of ivy in them. Anyone knowing what they are please leave a post.
Went to see the last discovery launch, to see what else we have been up to ...please check my other blog http://grammyandthepapillonprinces.blogspot.com/

Thanks for looking and come back soon

  2. You can tell by looking at the planters, they are vintage. Not seen any like that in a long time. Of course, no doubt the little bear is an oldie.
