Swan Planter



Our favorite antique mall in Elk Rapids did not disappoint. It never does.


I found this McCoy swan planter in a wooden bowl filled with sea shells.


I had to buy it. Not the bowl or the sea shells, just the swan.



Because I knew I had its mate at home.


Excuse me for being so excited that I couldn't even hold my camera straight.


I never intended to collect swans.


Once, I saw them used as baby shower 'favors' in an article I saw in an old Home Companion magazine.


Now I just can't be stopped.

More than "its mate"! Looks to be its whole extended family! Well done!
