I received a $50 gift card several months ago. Don’t hate. It was a Christmas gift. I’ve been saving it to buy something special … something I wouldn’t buy for myself if I had to dole out the cold, hard cash. Well, I finally found it. I bought my first McCoy planter and some pretty vintage curtains.
I love the color and texture of this planter.
The curtains are so pretty in person. I couldn’t resist them. I’m hoping they will work in the dining room. When I brought them up to the counter the sales person said they were her favorite thing in the shop. She wanted to buy them, but was glad that I did. I saved her from herself. I was happy to oblige.
It was a fun way to spend my gift card.
You can see more of my thrifty finds here.

I love McCoy but it can be expensive huh? Love the blue one you found and those curtains are just beautiful…two great finds!
You smart shopper you! Both lovely finds …
Love the planter and great color in the curtains.
These are beautiful choices to spend your gift card on! I love the drapes and the bowl! Enjoy the day. Pamela
I think my Mom owned those curtains! 😉 Only in Maine darn it, living in Phoenix its hard to find beautiful vintage.
Looks great.
Beautiful! The planter, the curtains and that lovely view out your window!!

Lovely McCoy! I collect it in a minor way. Bought a couple of planters eons ago when I didn’t know what it was and it was really cheap. Now what I get is mostly gifts too. J
Hi Mary – I am so delighted that I stumbled across your blog today. I’ve had a nice time doing a bit of perusing and will be coming back to do some more soon. Your style is so appealing to me as I am trying to incorporate “beachy” touches into my own decor. I am your newest follower here in the Pacific NW where I have my own bit of waterfront living. I would love for you to pay me a visit if you have the time. Blessings, Patti@OldThingsNew
It’s very pretty on the table against the curtains.

Money well spent on both things…love the curtains especially!
Ooh, such a pretty piece of McCoy! I love McCoy, but so far I’ve been able to avoid starting a collection (whew!). Pretty curtains, too, I really like them! You’re not going to leave them there? I think they look great in that spot. ~Angela~
What a pretty piece of McCoy…thanks for sharing at my party.
Blessings,

Love the McCoy planter — that shade of green is so pretty. And the curtains! Gorgeous! It’s a good thing to save sales people from themselves…. I would have a hard time if I worked in a vintage shop!
I love Mc Coy pottery. The color of your pottery is gorgeous. Love the curtains too.
ooh, pretty. blues are my favorites, so i love this!
Are those the curtains hanging in your bedroom window? LOVE them! And your genuine McCoy is a lovely accent piece to add to your collection.
Very pretty planter…I love everything about that corner!!
Two beautiful items, I just started collecting McCoy and USA…I love them, I’ll be showing my first find in my next post!
The curtains are a neat find and look great in the room!
