Friday Finds: A New White Pitcher

I used a medium grey Kim Klassen texture from the Febtrio collection.
Multiply Blend Mode at 75% opacity.  



The first piece of advice from this week’s “Be Still 52” assignment on Prop Shopping was DO NOT purchase everything you see.   Fall in love first, and then decide.  I started shopping on Thursday - it was a therapeutic session because I was upset and decided a little shopping would give me the opportunity to calm down and "be still." 

I was about 25 miles from home but ran into one of the stores on the list for great prop bargains.  Restricting myself to the clearance aisle I picked up and examined cups, dishtowels, table runners and breadboards. I popped a couple in my basket then made my way to the "full price” aisles.  

There I found a wonderful white pitcher with blue lettering. PITCHER was written across the top as if one needed help identifying it's purpose.

The lettering and the pitcher were beautiful, but full price.  I already had a breadboard, a cup, some labels, a journal, and some note paper in my basket, so I put the pitcher back on the shelf and ran quickly to the cashier to pay for my bounty.  I walked out of the store content that I had done a great job - everything on sale.  

This morning I took my items out for a second look and was soooooo sorry I did not have the beautiful pitcher.  I couldn’t possibly drive the 25 miles back to the store where I had seen the pitcher,  but decided to spend sometime at a store in my neighborhood – just in case I could find the same pitcher.  I did not fit the Blue Beauty, but, I found this little gem.  It works well with the last rose from my garden and I don’t think the Blue Beauty would have worked at all.  My Friday Find....
