She has worn peonies over many summers as well as dahlias, both make wonderful bonnets.
Saturday a 1964 Relpo head vase was found.
This Lady loved pink carnations for her bonnet.

You have a wonderful collection of head vases! Congrats on your new find! Wishing you a happy week ahead!
ReplyDeleteI recently found one at the thrift store and I sure do love her. There's something so feminine about have one on your dresser! I love your beautiful vases! The yellow sunbonnet is very sweet!
ReplyDeleteThe new head vase is very elegant looking. I remember my mother having a couple on the window sill growing up and wish I had them now.
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet vases, Joy! I know you have fun with them!! Thanks so much for popping by my blog today. I am so glad to be starting to blog regularly again!!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a delightful week!
Hugs,
Becky
The carnations are perfect for her Joy. I've always wanted to find a head vase of my own and seeing your beauties just makes me smile :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Joy ... I too, love the one with the yellow bonnet. Your flower arrangements in them, make them look like a real hat.

So pretty! I just love how elegant they are!
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of peonies. We moved ours this spring and they rebelled by not blooming this year :( Maybe next year.

I adore head vases and have quite a few!
ReplyDeleteI love head vases-- have a small collection myself. Yours are great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice assortment of head vases. I have seen some before but not these. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI was out and about a few weeks ago and saw a huge collection of these. Some so cute, a few were laughable creepy. Yours look just right with the flowers in them. Maybe I should reserve judgment until I've seen all of them with flowers in their hair/head/hat.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! Your sunshine hat lady is a dear! But, I do love your elegant miss with the pink carnations - more my style. I have a Rubens lady in blue with pearl earrings which I acquired at an auction. I also have a knock off model with more wear and tear - including a crack. I still like her, though - for the vintage appeal. Lovely to see so many commonplaces we share - will want to visit again for your inspiration and tutorials!
ReplyDeleteJoy!

ReplyDeleteJoy, I had never heard of head vases until a couple of years ago. They really are a great collectible and can be quite pricey. Love the flowers you choose for their bonnets! thanks for sharing with SYC.
