Veranda 2010, Kay O'Toole
I know I said my next post would be the last of my studio but I�ve been a little sidetracked looking for this�.Has anything ever intruded you so much that you think about it all the time? That�s how its been with antique olive jars for me but when I first started noticing them they were like this large one featured on Kay O�Toole�s patio. I�ve been coveting one for a while now but Kay lives in Texas where it�s warm and her jar can stay outside all the time.
This is an image from the Pacific or northwest area where once again they can stay outside all the time. If you notice the style of this home isn�t exactly New England farmhouse either.
I would love a couple of big olive jars but they just don�t go with the architecture of our home. Plus it gets cold here, freezing cold with tons of snow that would crack these gorgeous antiques in a heartbeat. I know mister man is not up for hauling stuff inside and out every season if it can be helped because I tried that once with some big urns at the bottom of our driveway�.nope wasn�t happening!
They really dress up an entry but I need to let the big ones go!
Thanks to Pamela Pierce and her obvious affection for olive jars I discovered smaller 20� ones perfect for indoors, look up at top of photo. She sometimes places two in a room but I would be happy with one so I went on a search.
This image from Pamela Pierce was the clincher for me and there�s two in this room so I knew one anywhere in my home would work beautifully. There�s something so right about this room�besides the antique olive jars.
Since my birthday is coming up soon I thought I would buy myself a little gift and I found the perfect antique olive jar covered in yummy moss. Yep, this lovely is coming home to my house. What do you think? Do you buy yourself a little something for your birthday too?
