warning: i may have a slight obsession with pears!
it started with this cookie jar...i only wanted it because it was green, not necessarily because it was a pear :)
{Cherrie bought it for me from Ace, for our wedding gift}
then years later i bought the pear recipe box from Melissa's in Driggs :)
i miss that place! well mostly the sale table :)
then came this green pear, yard sale...thanks Claudia, goes great with my collection :)
and the red one was free from Rod Works, it fell off a wreath!
i then found this lovely vintage pear tin from one of my favorite places ever...the Mini Bazaar! it may be one of my favorite pear things! i had to add some mini fake pears in a vase too ;)
now the beginning of this year, i got super lucky, it was most certainly meant to be...
{dun dun dunnnnn...can you feel the suspense building?...}
My G I A N T pear! Isn't it beautiful!? I bought it at Tai Pan...for seven bucks!!! that's right 75% off! As soon as I turned my shopping cart around the corner...there was this beam of light shining down on this pear...my eyes were as large as oranges lol! No but seriously...it was mine! Then Levi met up with me a bit later, took one glance at the pear, grabbed it and ran! I practically had to chase him...'he said it was hideous!' {deep down inside I know he loves it, he likes everything I buy, lol!}
you may not be able to tell how huge it really is in pictures...but it is B I G! We refer to it as the 'giant pear' and it makes us happy just looking at it! Gulianna always says 'oh mom, your giant pear, i love it!' too funny!
tonight for some reason...i was thinking about pears...and then remembering all the Orla Kiely pear stuff that she had at Target last year. but i couldn't bring myself to buy another pear thing that i didn't need at the time. now i somewhat regret it...though the Target in IF didn't have the whole collection...i was going to buy one of these mugs for $5.99, now they are on e.bay for $39.99, can you believe that? someone is making some money if they sell!
if i had known they had this cute plate stand...hello instant purchase!
they also had some place mats, and a rug...i never saw that there...as well as a pear table cloth! i totally would have bought that too! maybe even made some curtains out of them! so if you ever happen to run across some of ora's pear target collection at the di or a yard sale perhaps...you know who loves pears :)
and if i didn't start with all the pear stuff...i would have this kitchen aid in 'pear' color instead of a black one!
ahhhh...i ♥ green! and apparently pears too!
