the old girls

I call these the "old girls." I love crusty old pots, and at the Ringling Museum there were 
plenty lined up in a curvaceous manner, just begging me to take out my camera.
They looked old; I wonder just how old. 
They seem to be guarding young David, not that he'd need it
(yes, Michelangelo's David, a copy from the original.)
Such simple beauty.

Sharing with Little Red House's Monday Mosaics.

  1. I'd love those pots. Just need a house big enough to showcase them!!

    By all means, save the salsa to Pinterest. I need to figure out that program myself.

    Best,
    Bonnie

  2. I love old pots too (brought home some small ones from England!) and I simply adore those! What I would give for those in Linderhof's garden . . . well, maybe not -- I probably couldn't afford them!

  3. I really love old clay pots, especially the larger ones like these, they are far too expensive though, so I just look. Very lovely images shared~

  4. Wonderful clay pots with all those shabby (not too shabby) details. I've never had very good luck with the smaller variety, though I do love to tuck them into larger containers. That's a very pretty location the Ringling Museum.

  11. Fabulous pots! We were just talking about switching out to real terra cotta pots this year...but when I look at the prices I might have to change my mind.

  12. I found you through With a Grateful and Thankful Heart. I enjoyed the piece by Robert Browning. How very meaningful and apropos that one is. Thanks for sharing it. I like your site. Fun to see the world through other's eyes. Hope you'll stop by and visit at my place sometime too.

  13. Love the old pots and baskets. There is a huge statue of David being placed in downtown Louisville Kentucky, just up the road from me. It is in the old part of town where they are renovating and putting in new things every day. A lot of folks are complaining about the money spent on it. Some folks don't appreciate art. I am over from Mary's Mosaic Monday.

  15. I don't think clay pots will ever go out of fashion, these have a nice shape and patina on them.
    I like the new header.

  16. I had terracota pots as big as those around our garden in my old, big house where my daughters grew up. Now, my daughter Sofia has them in her house. That old age look only happens in real terracota and it's so old world, specially mediterranian. I love your header my friend, you and your family in past pictures are so lovely! Enjoy your new week.

  19. They are such beautiful old pots! I especially loved the last photo of them. It's interesting that the Ringling Museum has a replica of Michelangelo's sculpture of David.

  20. Clay pots are so full of character. I love the way they age. These are great photos.

    Have a wonderful week!

  21. Isn't it funny, how something like this will grab your imagination and take hold? Is it the texture, the size or the repetition? I like them too, but I love things in multiples and I love terra cotta.

  22. I love weathered pots. Your photos captured them well.
