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.

Tiny Tart Tins!

And, ALL fifteen of them are still there!

I've not a clue what I'm going to do with these, but I'll get my money's worth just from THINKING about what I'm going to do with them.

Maybe some tiny pin cushion?

Miniture soap molds?
Or, even tiny tarts!
