Little Chicken Cup



Several months ago,  I found this darling little chicken cup
 over at Julie Whitmore Pottery. 

Julie is amazing!  She makes the most delightful and unique pottery pieces,
 featuring the cutest little animals and beautiful flowers.
You can't help but smile when you see her painted faience pottery.

This little hen has apparently gotten into the mistresses flower garden
 and pinched a posy to take back to her coop.
I can't say that I blame her.  
I'm looking forward to pretty flowers that bloom in the spring, myself.
But we just keep getting more snow, not flowers.


I just love everything that Julie makes.
And I hope you have time to stop by her blog.

    Your new egg cup is absolutely adorable. I'll be popping over to Julie's blog for a visit. Thanks for the link.
    Also, thanks for the information on the paper doll artist. Love her work, but didn't know her name.

    Very sweet chicken cup. I can see why you are crazy over it. I know what you mean about the snow. We're supposed to get 4-6 inches on Sunday. ugh

    I'm joining the party late. What a delightful mug. She is quite a talented artist. I'm equally anxious for spring blooms and less snow.

    Happy Saturday!

    Love your chicken cup. We do not get snow here. But we never know what the weather is going to be like. Yesterday was really hot but it is suppose to cool off this afternoon. In Texas we say if you do not like the weather give it a few minutes because it will change. lol
